We have been very impressed by the service provided for both our sale and purchase. Clear information regarding costs and timescales and both Annabelle and Jayda were very proactive in replying to emails and chasing things along. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell.

The challenges of Conveyance

5

I recently undertook the transfer of title on a property with Bright's Solicitors represented by Annabelle o Higgins and Jayda Brailey. They were a pleasure to deal with and always showed me an unerring commitment to fulfil their legal role to the absolute best of their ability. I had total confidence that I was being represented very professionally and that no stone was left unturned to make sure that the transfer succeeded and all matters had been given due consideration. Their role is a difficult one as they can only complete their part of the process when others party's solicitors or other vested parties act efficiently and correctly.

They fought for our house purchase.

5

We went to purchase a property with multiple land registries, a sellers solicitor who was either incredibly malicious or had forgotten where his work was and a complex mortgage. After 9 months of fighting Annabelle and team where able to complete - going above and beyond to get us to the finish line. Would recommend to anyone.

Annabelle is epic - honestly made me feel very safe & she took the time to explain in detail aspects I didn't understand - which in our complex case helped massively both ways as it let me point out concerning details and explain issues. I honestly can say she's been incredibly reassuring, efficient and diligent. Annabelle knew what she was doing throughout our particular complex case and helped us massively.

Conscientious and caring management of sale/purchase

We had an extremely tight deadline ahead of Christmas to complete a sale and purchase. The hard work and tenacity from a number of the Brights team over an already busy period made it possible.

Another outstanding example of service by Brights.

5

We have just completed today after an interesting and slightly bumpy sale of our much loved family home. The process was bumpy due to the buyers and the only thing that made it painless was their service we both received from Annabelle O’Higgins and Connor Barclay.

The pair of them were utterly outstanding from the ‘get go’. Communication was regular, clear and all areas were explained perfectly. Their continued effort and shear determination to provide an excellent service was obvious throughout.

We both felt like we had someone ‘watching our backs’ throughout the whole process and for these we are utterly grateful.

Annabelle, Connor; you have both made our Christmas and we wish you both the very best for the future. Merry Christmas.

Staff very helpful and responsive, but process long winded and frustrating at times, by having to answer the same questions multiple times.

Instructed Brights for our house purchase recently and they were fantastic. Annabelle and Jayda were particularly amazing, providing us with daily updates, clear advice and support. They worked incredibly quickly, meeting a really, really fast turnaround for our sellers. They accommodated our requests at every stage as well as providing sound advice and information. They were lovely to speak to, kind and friendly whilst being utterly professional. Their communication was amazing and that for me was the most important thing. We always received swift responses to our questions. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for any legal needs again. Really fantastic service.

We cannot recommend Bright Solictors highly enough. Annabelle and her supporting team guided us efficiently and responsively through both our sale and purchase. Annabelle was extremely helpful, making sure we understood every stage of the process and taking the time to explain it often more than once if needed. We would 100% use them again.

As a local estate agent dealing with property sales and purchases daily we have worked with many solicitors, but Brights are a breath of fresh air, they are professional, do what they say the will do, are always friendly and nothing is too much trouble. A big shout out in particular to Annabelle and Connor. We look forward to a long future of doing business with you. Thank you :)

Annabelle and Jazmine were a pleasure to deal with during a recent house sale. It has been a difficult sale and has required much patience. Both ladies were super helpful and really responsive every time we contacted. Bright we’re very proactive with the purchase and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Brilliant! Thank you.

Many thanks to Annabelle O'Higgins and Jazmine Grant for all of their amazing hard work during the purchase of my first house! Annabelle and Jazmine were extremely professional, patient and kind, communicating and explaining things throughout the whole process to me and working diligently to secure an exchange and completion date as soon as they possibly could. I have recommended them both to a number of other people currently buying properties and requiring a solicitor. Thanks again!
