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.

Stephen and his team handled our sale and purchase. Efficient and straightforward service. They answered queries quickly and didn't mince words, which is exactly what you need when buying and selling a house. Their efficiency and directness made the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended for those who appreciate a no-nonsense approach.

I am incredibly impressed with Steve Parker and his team in relation to their residential conveyancing service. I have been in the property market for 33 years and, in the residential space, I have never experienced such a comprehensive service with almost immediate reactions and responses. Steve and his team closed our latest residential sale in 4 weeks from start to finish. Amazing!

Stephen at Barcan+Kirby acted as our conveyancer on the purchase of our apartment and he did a fantastic job in offering clear and straightforward guidance. Stephen was thorough in approach and proactive in helping push through the sale. I would definitely hire Stephen and Barcan+Kirby again.

My experience using Barcan and Kirby in the selling and buying of my Bristol homes was made so easy. I could always find a solicitor or their clerk available, and up to speed regarding my case.
Issues were simplified and responses to e mails were quick and succinct.
