My husband and I are absolutely delighted about the service we have received from Helen Murphy of Barr Ellison solicitors as well as the rest of her team. She has been so professional and very helpful all throughout the entire process of buying our new home. She has given us guidance and was very accommodating for all our questions and concerns since we are first time buyers. She constantly communicated with us and assisted us with the paperworks and was very nice and patient too. We are very grateful to Helen, Emma and the rest of the team. We highly recommend Barr ellison and we thank them for their service.

Excellent Service

5

We have recently sold our property and had an excellent service at Barr Ellison - even when we lost our buyer, Helen was excellent in turning around with the new buyer. Despite a lot of enquiries Helen kept her cool even if she had never has so many questions about drains at a relative modern property - we did laugh a lot and that characterised the service she provided us with.

We can only recommend Barr Ellison if you need to have a team player on your side when buying or selling properties.

Approachable and trustworthy

Barr Ellison seems part of our family. My husband Richard had told me that Barr Ellison would take care of me and my son, and he was right. You guided me through everything with regard to my husband's estate, always making clear the choices open to us. Seema Solanki and Helen Murphy were so kind, approachable and trustworthy, they feel like sisters to me.

Helen Murphy is exceptional! She is very knowledgeable, diligent and always quick to respond. She provided me with much needed reassurance when dealing with a very difficult and unreasonable developer (Hill Group). I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

I wouldn't go anywhere else with my conveyancing business. I have a keen interest in property and I know I can trust Helen Murphy to get the job done expediently and thoroughly. The estate agents I work with also appreciate the professional way she handles the process.
