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.

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.

Kim Pratt, conveyancing solicitor from Barcan and Kirby completed our sale and purchase last week. Along with her assistant Abigail Bratchel they have both worked so professionally and conscientiously to ensure that everything possible was carried out to the highest standard. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

We really appreciated Kim and Abigail's responsive and professional approach, they made the potentially very stressful process of selling a house that much more bearable. Thank you both, their services are highly recommended.

We were really pleased with everything from start to finish.

We dealt primarily with Kim at the Kingswood office. From the start she was very efficient and always responded to my queries in a timely manner. When complications arose in the chain, Kim advised us well and we got things sorted. When Kim was out of the office, our sale was covered seamlessly by other members of the team and this was really appreciated. Price wise, it was slightly more expensive than some other quotes we got but it was definitely worth it.

We would 100% recommend Kim and the team to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor.
