The process of selling our previous home and buying our new one was far from straightforward. Barcan+Kirby provided a reassuringly professional and reliable service throughout. It took us a while to get used to the fact that the representatives of the firm who assisted us were each in the office for a limited number of working days each week, but there was a smooth process of referral from one representative to another if the person we had contacted was not in the office.

Natalie was very helpful with my case, making sure I understood what the legal documents and jargon meant, and then suggesting ways to protect me. When I made my own suggestions she was always receptive and helped make sure we got to a place that was beneficial to myself, but also watertight from a legal standpoint. She also made sure I was aware of any additional costs that could be incurred. I was very happy with her service, how she dealt with the case and how personable she was. Thank you, Natalie!

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.
