Asha was brilliant whilst acting for me in a purchase of a property in my sole name. She was calm, helpful and knowledgable when things took a complicated and stressful turn. I am really impressed with how Asha went the ‘extra mile’ to make things as easy as possible for me. I will be recommending her to friends who have any conveyancing needs. A massive thank you to Asha and everyone in her team.

I'm sure no fault of Asha, but it took 2 years to get copy of the deeds. And even now I don't have the original.

Residential Conveyancing
Having had 2 terrible experiences with previous solicitors when moving house/remortgaging, and one average one, I approached a purchase and sale transaction with some trepidation. I needn't have worried, as Asha, supported by Lisa and Becky handled everything on both sides of the transaction promptly, efficiently and thoroughly. I was always up to date with what was happening, and even when one of the other parties solicitors made a mess of things, Asha was able to sort everything and pull the whole chain back on track. When Asha went on leave just before completion, Jenny stepped in and pushed everything over the line in an equally professional and efficient manner., Barcan+Kirby, and Asha in particular have restored my faith in solicitors, and while I hope not to move again, if I do, I know where I will be going to have the conveyancing done.

Residential Conveyancing
During 2022, I was dealing (as Executor) with the sale of my late parents' house. Having engaged Purplebricks as the Estate Agent, I was somewhat obliged to also utilise one of their panel solicitors, to handle the conveyancing.
Unfortunately, the process turned out to be too complex for said panel solicitor; due to an error when the house was built, the garage was not correctly registered with the Land Registry. After dithering for a couple of months, the panel solicitor informed me in November 2022 that they were unable to continue, and effectively dis-instructed themselves.
Meanwhile, my buyer informed me that she had a deadline, with her mortgage offer expiring in February 2023. Fear spread that the sale would fall through, unless swift action was taken.
Enter Barcan & Kirby (who had previously managed my parents' legal affairs).
Firstly, I dealt with James Bell, in their Litigation Team. He wasted no time in establishing that that the garage was registered with a company who had taken over the original builders. He subsequently arranged for the title of the garage to be transferred, in order to remove this blockage on the sale.
Secondly, I dealt with Asha North, in the Thornbury Conveyancing Team. Asha was aware of the deadline that she was working to, and efficiently ensured that the sale was successfully completed with a week to spare before the buyer's mortgage offer expired.
I am pleased to say that the sale has now been completed, and both the buyer and myself are overjoyed that Barcan & Kirby literally saved the day.
