Great service from the team as always. I have used B&K for numerous reasons over the years and will continue to do so. There is no time wasting, or copious amounts of emails to trawl through. They simply get on with the job in hand and only contact me/us when absolutely required to do so.
A representative from Barcan+Kirby LLP responded to this review on 10 December, 2024:
Thank you for your review, Holly. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.

Jenny Johnson and her team were exceptional at taking care of our first home purchase. She responded to all queries promptly and took the time to have multiple phone calls with us to explain anything we didn't understand. In what can be very stressful period with lots of uncertainty Jenny was the calm in the storm and we are forever grateful for the wonderful work she did on our purchase. Thank you to Jenny and her team!
A representative from Barcan+Kirby LLP responded to this review on 25 November, 2024:
Thanks for this lovely review, Jasmin. We're so pleased Jenny and her team were able to make the process of buying your first home as stress-free as possible and look forward to working with you again in the future!

Asha was brilliant whilst acting for me in a purchase of a property in my sole name. She was calm, helpful and knowledgable when things took a complicated and stressful turn. I am really impressed with how Asha went the ‘extra mile’ to make things as easy as possible for me. I will be recommending her to friends who have any conveyancing needs. A massive thank you to Asha and everyone in her team.
A representative from Barcan+Kirby LLP responded to this review on 19 November, 2024:
Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We're glad Asha and her team were able to provide assistance when things got complicated and we wish you all the best in your new property.

I approached Tom at Barcan & Kirby when I needed to apply for a divorce. I had little to no knowledge of the process and he took the time to explain everything and at no point did I feel I was being pressured into using his services. The communication was always good and at all times he tried to keep his costs down as much as he could given the circumstances. I needed a clean break order and he took care of everything other than what I had to apply for via the government website. All in all I was very happy with the process and although hopefully I’ll never be in the position to use him again I would highly recommended him and his services to anyone who needs it.
A representative from Barcan+Kirby LLP responded to this review on 28 October, 2024:
Thank you so much for your feedback, Adam. We're glad Tom could help and wish you all the best for the future.
