Thorough, reliable and engaging

5

Our experience was almost entirely with Tessa Collins, the Conveyancing Assistant to Joanne Martin.

The sale of our property and purchase of a new property was complex and involved a great deal of work with other parties who were not as committed to the conveyance as one would have hoped. Tessa was extremely dedicated to pursuing the problematic management company involved, and repeatedly chased up other individuals and organisations who failed to respond in a timely manner. I spoke to Tessa many times on the phone, and she was consistently proactive and professional. On some occasions she was not available, but always called me back within a reasonable time.

Although it was touch and go, we were able to complete on both purchases within the deadline, and Tessa was heavily responsible for that achievement.

I would definitely recommend the team of Joanne Martin and Tessa Collins

Good experience

5

Not bought or sold a house before. I dealt mainly with my Solicitors assistant but she was available when needed. Both were very helpful and patient in explaining things and were prompt in answer queries and chasing up the buyers conveyancer. Phone calls were either dealt with immediately or a call back came quickly. I was kept up to date with what was happening. The reception staff were also helpful and made me feel at ease.

Conveyancer most helpful person in the whole process

4

We used BMTC as our conveyancing and solicitor service to buy our first house.
Tessa was incredible and by far the most helpful person we engaged with in the process. She was understanding, happy to provide clarification and steadfast in her approach even when dealing with the very rude and pushy estate agent.

The one star lacking is for a slight improvement that would have eased our experience a bit. Being first time buyers, we were not familiar with the process, the legal terminology and all of the paperwork was a little baffling. As mentioned Tessa was so good at answering our questions - which was our saving grace! But, it would have been good to have a little more proactive guidance and explanation - knowing that this was our first experience of buying rather than having to question it all ourselves and wait for a response.

I can't comment on our Solicitor Joanne as we only received automated emails from her.

The purchase of my house took 6 months, but I was kept up to date every step of the way. Tessa Collins and Joanne Martin were very professional and always had my best interest in mind. Would recommend.

Fantastic start to finish with our sale and purchase, very helpful and responsive. Other solicitors in the chain were a nightmare, and BMTC were great through out. Definitely recommend.

Thank you for all your help, I would recommend,

They helped me to understand each step of the way what was going on as it can be quite overwhelming. They also kept on top to keep things moving throughout the process and keep us in loop.

Used for both sale and purchase, which had its complexities.

Got to meet few of the team in person too and you can tell they all work well as a team.
