Jane Holliss House sale

5

We recently used Brights solicitors for the sale of a house. We would like to commend Sharna, Jo and Ethan who dealt with our legal matters. We found all contact to be professional, helpful and friendly. They were prompt to deal with matters as they arose and answered any of our queries confidently.
We shall certainly use Brights again in the future and would highly recommend to all.
Thank you.

House purchase

Both my Wife and I would like to thank both Jo and Jack and are very grateful for the work you have both carried out for us on our behalf and in doing so achieving the objective to allow us to purchase our property. Especially due to the timeframe this had to be completed in. Once again thank you both for all your hard efforts and professionalism.
Excellent service, very efficient and good communication throughout.

Great experience again !

5

This is the 2nd time I have used Bright, and another great experience. The team made the whole process very easy and the communication was outstanding. Thank you Jo Russell, always quick to respond and very efficient, made the process totally stress free. Elim Silveira, always went above and beyond to help, especially in the closing stages to get everything in place. Even after completion Elim has continued to help out. Made the process so smooth and easy. Always quick to get on the phone and answer any queries, continuously kept me updated throughout the process. Jack Waterfield out in the initial stages and was great at getting things moving forward. As anyone buying a property can probably agree we. Communication is key and everyone on the team certainly delivered on this. Thank you all so much. Will certainly use again in the future and highly recommend. Jamie Stevens

Jo, Ethan and Sharna in the conveyancing team have handled purchases and sales on multiple properties for me. They are great communicators and provide a service that is professional, personal, with a fair fee, which is why I have used Bright for over 10 years.

Thank you so much to Jo and Jack for finally getting our completion over the line. It felt like a hard slog getting there, but Jo and Jack were extremely helpful and patient, keeping us informed and talking through the legal intricacies so that we could keep chasing the various parties from our end. Jack even updating me gone 8.30 in the evening the day before completion, to put my mind at rest :).

Myself and my partner have just completed on a simultaneous sale and purchase in Tavistock. We were represented in both transactions by Jo Russell, assisted by Jack Waterfield, and couldn't have asked for better service. A few creases along the way - thanks to the other parties - were ironed out by Jo and Jack, leading to a relatively painless and timely completion. All in all, an excellent service and one we won't hesitate to recommend.
