Apartment Sale through Bright LLP

5

I would like to praise our conveyancing solicitor Julie Milton of Bright LLP, and her very good assistance Karen Andrews as well as other members of the Bright team, who were involved in the sale of our property. It was done professionally and efficiently, explaining as we went along what was required and the various fees that were involved. We were kept well informed and we had a successful sale.
Richard & Bobbie Harold.

Property purchase

5

I had the pleasure of dealing with Julie and Karen from Brights in respect of a recent residential property purchase. As I professional I understand what excellent client service looks like and I was not disappointed by the service provided by Brights. The transaction could not have run more smoothly and nothing was too much trouble for Julie and Karen. Communication can often be a problem for professionals but this was definitely not the case with Brights, I was kept informed at all times and knew exactly how things were going. I could not recommend Brights highly enough.

Consistently excellent

5

Have used Brights on 4 occasions dealing with property/conveyancing matters. Every time we have been kept up to date. I cannot rate Julie Milton and Karen highly enough. Extremely professional, competitively priced and matters expeditiously dealt with. My family have also dealt with Brights and our of the same opinion as ourselves. My estate agent also rates them highly as they too are kept up to date with how matters are progressing. Will definitely deal with Brights in the future with all legal matters.

Considerate and efficient service

5

Bright handled both the sale of our apartment and the purchase of our new house skilfully and efficiently. We felt they were also very good value for money.
As our first sale had previously fallen through they were extremely empathetic of our situation and this was reflected in their advice and costings.
We would especially like to mention and thank Adam Tozer and Millie Hollis who handled our sale, Katy Owen and Amy Pfeil who dealt with our purchase and Julie Milton for her advice.

Julie Milton and Karen Mayhew - Purchase and Sale

5

We chose to work with Bright Solicitors for the sale and purchase of properties. We have worked with Julie and Karen throughout the process and the service they have provided has been exceptional. Communication has been fluid, timely and consistent and there has never been a question unanswered. Both have worked hard to ensure the correct outcome is achieved for us as clients and we are grateful to them that we now have purchased our dream home. We would strongly recommend the use of their services and will certainly do so in the future.

We were recommended to use Bright for the conveyancing on the sale and purchase of our old and new houses. They were efficient, responsive to us when we were in touch and thorough in the work. A good experience all round, thanks.

An incredible team

My husband and I were extremely impressed with Bright LLP's attitude and thos to challenges that presented themselves along the way to exchange and completion. Julie Milton and her team are, in my opinion, an incredible team and did everything they could do to make at times a difficult situation better for us.

My partner and I recently used Bright to purchase our first home, and would definitely use them again next time around! As a first time buyer, I felt like we were asking a lot of "silly questions", but whoever we spoke to at Bright was always happy to answer them as soon as possible. After exchange of contracts, third parties caused our completion to be delayed for two weeks (which was obviously very stressful for us) however the team at Bright (Deana, Victoria, Julie and Karen in particular) worked tirelessly (whilst calming our nerves) to get our purchase over the line. Would certainly recommend to others.

Bright LLP gave us a fantastic service while purchasing our first house - Julie Milton and her excellent assistant Karen Mayhew worked very hard to guide us through the process and ensure that nothing was overlooked, and communicated very well throughout. We would highly recommend their services.

As always Julie Milton and her team excelled in their efficiency, attention to detail and professionalism. This our fifth transaction with Julie and her team, special mention to Karen, who is tireless in her pursuit of information, we would never consider using anyone else. Always quick to respond and knowledgeable in their replies. Very confident to trust in their expertise.

We recently sold and bought using Bright for our conveyancing. They were so efficient and gave really good advice for both transactions. Compared to traditional conveyancing the way bright do it ( for a fixed price) is fantastic. Julie and Deana were both amazing: keeping us informed,responding to our queries and acknowledging our communications. And no pointless meetings: it was so easy. Redesigning conveyancing: brilliant.
