Kim & Victoria dealt with both my complex flat sale and they subsequently dealt with mt (numerous) attempts to purchase my next property. they were incredibly kind & understanding after withdrawing from 3 separate houses and finally helped me daily to complete in less than 12 weeks (quite challenging in current circumstances) thank you both for all of your help and hard work.

I'd already posted a 5 Star review for Kim Pratt and Abigail Bratchel regarding their excellent handling of a bungalow sale for an elderly relative via POA. However, a last minute health item created a few last-minute issues for our chain. These were handled very promptly and efficiently by Kim and Abigail on our behalf. Excellent service - Thank You.

I had a lot of concerns about engaging with the relevant services for a house purchase - estate agents, mortgage advisors and solicitors etc., no one ever seems to have a good experience. Barcan+Kirby however proved that's not always true as their handling of our case was excellent. Kim Pratt and all the staff we dealt with were knowledgeable, clear, efficient and kind and I can't recommend them highly enough. I was dreading the process but it couldn't have been easier, thank you.

Everyone we dealt with at B+K was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. From our referral through Lucy Rose, to liaising with Kim, but also Abigail, Christina, Victoria , Jon and Caron - everything was smooth and reassuring. Conveyancing isn't fun, but B+K prove that it needn't be stressful or frustrating. I'd gladly recommend to anyone.

Disappointed with the service, Lost confidence when the wrong purchase price was put on the paperwork.Obviously no proof reading of docs before they were sent out. Numerous other mistakes made. At times it felt like the blind leading the blind. Sadly, very unprofessional.

Great experience with Barcan & Kirby - Would definitely recommend and use again (although hopefully I won’t have to for a while now…!). Kim was like superwoman with the amount she had to contend with for our house move but made it much easier for us, and Abigail was wonderful with making time to help me understand everything - Thanks both!

I would like to thank Abigail, Kim and Victoria at Barcan+Kirby Solicitors for their conscientious work regarding selling my flat. They passed on efficiently all the relevant documents and responses which I sent them during the process. They also responded positively to any enquiries from the sales negotiator. Consequently the sale went through smoothly to completion within the proposed timescale for both myself and the buyer. I would recommend their company to any prospective clients!

Kim, Victoria and Abigail have been a supportive and approachable team who have provided me with convencying services through an abortive sale and my first house purchase. Their due diligence meant that I was reassured through the process. They also pulled out all the stops to ensure my purchase completed before Christmas with very little notice!

Having used a different branch of Barcan and Kirby previously I had high expectations for them in our house move. Thankfully they were great, really quick to pick up the tasks that move the process along and always advocating for us at the times that we needed. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Many thanks to Kim, Abigail and Victoria!

Abigail Bratchel at Barcan+Kirby has been incredibly helpful and supportive. She consistently responded to my inquiries with patience and professionalism, even when addressing some of my more basic questions. Her exceptional ability to work with a diverse range of clients, from experienced buyers to first-time homebuyers, is a remarkable asset to the company. She is one of the main reasons I will recommend B+K to my friends and colleagues.

Kim Pratt at Barcan+Kirby is a valuable asset to any organization she works with. It’s rare to encounter such a dedicated and sincere professional. Her communication with me as a client, as well as with other third parties involved in the transaction, was consistently professional and reassuring.
Building trust with clients is essential, and her performance earned both my respect and confidence.
