Emma Cox and her colleagues were helpful and responsive. Not having moved for over 45 years, procedures were very different but anything we found difficult on line was provided in a format we could cope with which we found very useful. A local office was also helpful. Completion was in an anticipated timescale and there were no delays with transfer of funds on our moving date. We were happy with the service received from Barcan Kirby. Thank you.

I understand that the case was very long and unique, however - i cant help but feel like there was no personalization. i was told to be a yes - many told to wait for final statement to complain - and it only ended in a 3 year old getting hurt and no action taken. Solicitor was lovely though. just wish more could've been done.

The service we received from Terrie was excellent. she took time to explain everything to us clearly and thoroughly. we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to ask questions and discus things properly. we felt that Terrie built up a very good understanding of our requirements and created our Wills and LPA's, were drawn up accordantly. the service was always professional mormaer was approachable and friendly which is so important when you are dealing with important personal dealings which affect you and your family future.

Thank you very much for all your help on the case, it’s helped me gain a lot of closure around the event especially the discussions I had with the doctors. The advice given has meant I’ve been back running again with minimal pain which has been by far the best thing to come from all of this!

Used Barcan+Kirby North street to help buy my first home and they were great! Robyn Eamer and Laura Roberts were so helpful and on the ball the whole time and always answered every silly question I had! It made a really stressful process that little bit easier and I’m so grateful to them both. Would definitely recommend.

Laura and Emma cox have been brilliant during our house sale. We have had lots of various issues with third parties however Emma and Laura were on hand to help and were so pro active in getting us to completion. Without them we would not have achieved what we needed.

Always available to discuss matters and gave updates in real time.

Thank you both so much. Brilliant service.

This was the smoothest house purchase we have ever done and it is all thanks to Laura and her team at Barcan+Kirby! They were very efficient at responding to our questions, did not need to be chased, and the whole process was seamless. We loved the fact that there were clear points of contact for each stage! Thank you, and we will be recommending you to friends for their house purchases

Laura and robyn were my and my partners conveyancing solicitors for a house purchase.
We were due to complete 30/01/25 however due to barclays banking IT outage we got the dreaded news with the van packed and ready to go that we were unable to complete. This was no fault of barcan and kirby or robyns and laura. Naturally we were upset as we had to spend a few days in our old home with minimal clothing and supplies whilst our stuff was in a van. However they were both kind understanding and had a extremely responsive and professional attitude. Post move they built a case for us and we were refunded all the money we lost due to barclays banking failure the tenacity they showed to achieve this was outstanding and went the extra mile.
They are a credit to the firm and I hope they receive formal recognition from senior staff for their professionalism.
