The service I have received from Stephen and his team has been exemplary throughout what was in the end a long process. The communications were always timely and kept me up to speed with progress and issues. Although mistakes were made by other solicitors in the chain Stephen and his team especially Pamela always acted professionally and expertly steered the process to a successful conclusion.

Purchase of 37 Rowan Drive, Emersons Green, BS16 7GZ

We are regular customers. This is the third property we have purchased with B&K as our solicitor and we can say that for all three the process has always been correct, fluid and successful.
We have had the opportunity to have Stephen Parker handle our case and the opinion we have of him is unbeatable.

I am extremely happy with the Barcan + Kirby Clifton Office and particularly grateful to Stephen Parker for his expertise, determination and commitment in securing me a successful outcome in extending my lease with Islington Council from 86 to 174 years. He worked hard right up to Xmas Eve. It was a brilliant start to 2022! Thank you!

Housing and Property - Purchase and Sale

We recently required the services of Barcan + Kirby solicitors in Clifton, Bristol, both for a house sale and purchase. They were exceptional at all stages of the process, friendly, professional, efficient and we would highly recommend.

Our house purchase happened at a potentially stressful time, immediately before moving and buying restrictions were put in place in March 2020. However, we proceeded to purchase our property with purpose and ease, thanks to skilled negotiating and thorough communication throughout from Barcan + Kirby. We couldn't be happier with the service we received and are thrilled with the purchase.

It’s definitely been a journey in business and in my private life too, Steve Parker has been my solicitor for about 40 years now, Barcan Kirby and Steve have been brilliant and so professional in dealing with the ever changing criteria and demands that life throws at us. Well done and good luck for the future, thank you,

I have used B+K for 6 house sales/purchases over the past 20years. They have always been highly professional, knowledgeable and fairly priced. I’ve also recommended B+K to many friends and colleagues who have gone on to have good experiences themselves.

We used Barcan+Kirby as our conveyancing solicitors. Steve was great and was efficient and thorough whilst also being friendly and helpful. We would use them again.
