Excellent and rapid service

We used BTMK for the sale of our home. We dealt mainly with Abi Dyer who was extremely professional, proactive and efficient. Abi dealt with all queries from both parties and kept us informed of progress throughout.

Super fast and super efficient!

Impressed with the way the deal was done ahead of a deadline having been let down by my (ex) mortgage broker. Having sourced the new mortgage, it was all down to Chris, Holly and Abi that it was completed before additional interest was charged. Many thanks to you all!

Disappointing experience

2

Remortgaging as a Help To Buy London customer has its own unique difficulties, but the lack of persistence from this Solicitors to pick up the phone and chase Help To Buy ended up delaying the completion and costing me. I was recommended this Solicitor by my Mortgage Advisor and I regret using them.

As the dusts settles, very literally, I wanted to share my sincere thanks and gratitude for BTMK’s support with our recent house move. These guys (and girls!) are a testament to their profession and I would without doubt recommend and use their services again! A special shout out to Amy Lambert too (she’s not listed in the names to choose from) but deserves credit too!

Genuinely, they made the process so much easier for my wife and I and we cannot thank you enough. I'm delighted we are now in our forever home. The fun stuff, building work, for us starts on 3 January so we're in the midst of debating over design and finishes :-)

Holly, Jane and Chris provided an exceptional service for our FTB Leasehold purchase. They incredibly efficient, communicative and supportive in aiding us through the process.

Our move was very complicated to say the least and Chris and his team were just excellent in the way they dealt with issues, communicated consistently and got the job done. Thankfully we completed at the end of October 2018 (two months late, but not their fault) and we're in, settled and happy. Can thoroughly recommend their brilliant service.

I could not recommend Chris Maddison and his team, particularly Emily Gowers, enough. A fantastic, high quality, professional service from start to finish on our sale and purchase. I always felt in safe hands and any query I had was answered straight away. Thank you so much. Mr & Mrs W.

The services provided by Marcus Baum Solicitors were excellent. Specifically, Chris Maddison & Emily Gowers were both impeccable and of a very high professional standard throughout. They were both an invaluable source of knowledge and information, always willing and available to take our calls & emails and provide advice on the best options to take in resolving our issues.Their communication was excellent and efficient, I was kept up to date with the progress in "real-time". I would have no hesitation in recommending this company and specifically Chris & Emily to any of my family or friends. Great work!
