Solicitor at Birkett Long LLP
Sophie Partridge
Solicitor - ASSOCIATE SOLICITOR
SRA ID: 584443
I am a qualified and experienced solicitor in the Residential Real Estate team. Apparently (as my client satisfaction questionnaires tell me) I am efficient, courteous, knowledgeable and approachable, and it’s very satisfying to receive that feedback. My specialist area of law is residential real estate but that extends to much more than buying and selling property. I also deal with leasehold sales and purchases, re-mortgages, transfers of equity, first registrations and unregistered title of land, and new build transactions. I act for businesses too, with relation to their residential property portfolios and financing requirements. I act professionally for clients and no matter what the transaction, I always ensure that they receive a high quality service. I also try hard to minimise their stress! I love the moments when I’m able to call a client to tell them that they have exchanged contracts and confirm their move date, so that they can open a bottle and celebrate before they start to pack.

My personal journey with Birkett Long Solicitors
On January 8th 2024 my beautiful wife,Kathryn, of nearly 50 years of marriage died, on that day my life and equally the life's of our son and three daughters, emotionally changed and we were all challenged by grief. As a family, to describe the loss of Kathryn as devastating, would be an understatement. We needed legal guidance, support and compassion which subsequently we attained in spades from Birkett Long Solicitors.
Initially, through communicating with a professional and personal friend of our family. Alan Massenhove, who attended Kathryn's funeral, he facilitated our introduction to lawyers, Natalie Smith and Sophie Partridge.
Natalie dealt with, efficiently, speedily and with compassion, the amendment of my now personal Will and attaining Powers of Attorney for my son and eldest daughter in respect of my own finances and health. Natalie's actions created a veil of comfort and reassurance to us as a family as we now navigate our ongoing life's together.
Then taking on the critical role of 'Tail end Charlie,' was Sophie Partridge who dealt with the selling of our family home of 42years and the purchase of a flat for myself, overlooking Central Park, Chelmsford.
The key word that describes Sophie is tenacious but supported by caring, reassuring and listening skills that supported me personally and our children through this darkest period of our life's.
As a family we cannot emphasis enough how Sophie has journeyed with us these past several months, on an emotional roller-coaster but always remaining calm, approachable and strong.
We must never forget or underplay that our inter-personal skills carry equal weight to our professional qualifications, skills and abilities and this was clearly displayed by Alan, Natalie and Sophie.
On behalf of all my family I want to sincerely thank you Alan, Natalie and Sophie for your respective roles in our family life's since January 8th 2024, when Kathryn died.
"In our hearts she will always stay loved and remembered every day, may her soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed Rest in Peace."
Thank you

Very professional and helpful
Sophie was fantastic with keeping us up to date with all developments, ensuring all information was sent to other parties ASAP and made us feel safe and secure that we were buying the right house. It is often the trademark that solicitors hold up a chain and whilst that was true for other solicitors in the chain, Sophie made sure everything was done quickly and effectively.

Pleasant Polite and efficient
Sophie was incredibly efficient and easy to contact and work with. She always responded in a timely fashion which for me was very important as I wanted to move fast on the purchase of my home, I did give her, and her department a lot of calls regarding the progression to which she/they responded with answers within hours, unless she/they did not actually have them at the time of my call, which was normally the case. She was leaps and bounds ahead of the opposing solicitors which tried to claim they had not had information requested when in fact Sophie proved within minutes that they had had it for days! A very pleasant and knowledgeable young lady to work with and has a great support team. She probably pulled off one of the fastest closes this country has seen in a while. Very satisfied with the result. Thank you.
