Super fast and attentive

Jackie and Marie and the team at Batchelor Sharp oversaw the conveyancing for my recent home move. It was a long and complicated chain and they were always on top of things and kept it proceeding to completion. Super fast and attentive and good value for money as well. Would recommend.

So often with the explosion of social media we hear negative comments before positive ones, however, having been involved and owned many companies and personally bought and sold a great many properties with many diverse legal teams, Ann has shined, and has been representing me for almost 20 years and still goes above and beyond to create a clear and transparent but most of all diligent, flawless service.

Ann is quite simply a credit to Batchelor Sharp, I cannot say more than that!

Would highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Jackie and Kieran Curtis during the purchase of my first ever flat. Buying your first property is always daunting but Kieran was extremely clear and explained everything to me in person and on the phone, ensuring I understood every aspect of the purchase. Whilst the purchase took a lot longer than I expected, it wasn’t due to Jackie & Kieran - the seller changed solicitors half way through and they were extremely slow at responding. Jackie & Kieran we’re great and even came up with a solution regarding a flue pipe that needed to be moved POST sale (as it wasn’t done in time of the purchase). Something that I didn’t know was possible and saved the sale. Like any firm - you do need to call and chase things but I was very happy with Batchelor Sharp and would definitely recommend them.

Thank you

Although off to a slow start come the end they earned their money. The only negative is that not enough contact and we had to chase for updates. Our contact had a difficult case and was put to the test and has another string to the bow.

Thank you so much for all of your help.

I would highly recommend Batchelor Sharp to represent you in selling or buying a property. I had the pleasure in working with Jackie Curtis and her team, in particular Louise and Kieran. They are professional, kind, understanding and the best bit was having brilliant communication from them. They ensured I understood every aspect of the sell and then my purchase and was there to talk when I needed to go over things. I sold my flat at auction so it was very confusing at first but Jackie helped me understand it all and couldn't have been nicer. Also with my purchase I was buying over the bridge in Wales so she ensured I understood any difference in rules and put together very detailed reports on all aspects. Very reasonable in pricing and a pleasure to speak to.

Excellent service from Ann and her team.

Up against end of stamp duty holiday at the time of appointment in mid february, request was completion by 31st March or the house purchase would be to expensive to complete on. Re instatement of stamp duty holiday was extended the house purchase process was not, both teams continued just in case!! We collected the keys 31st March 12.30pm. Ann and her team were brilliant 6 weeks to complete whole process. I know they worked extremely hard with sellers and their solicitors and ourselves to make it happen. So i it can be done with the right team!!! Superb job guys and thank you, enjoy the Bank Holiday!!

Batchelor sharp helped us purchase our 1st property.

Had a wonderful experience always with them always happy to help and very responsive. Jackie and Kirean worked so hard to get us completed as quickly as they possibly could something we are so appreciative of especially during the current pandemic and pressure they must be under. Would highly recommend.

We recently used Jackie Curtis in the Sale of our Son's Flat. For what became a complex situation , fraught with challenges she always remained calm, reassuring and highly professional. We all appreciated her regular updates and timely responses. You know you are in very safe hands with Jackie and we cant recommend her and Batchelor Sharp enough.

I worked with Batchelor Sharp to oversee the sale of my property in Bedminster, Bristol. We cannot thank Jackie C enough for going above and beyond to ensure a smooth sale. During a process that was fraught with complications, Jackie's communication was transparent and a source of great comfort. Jackie's knowledge was invaluable but most importantly her appreciation for the confusion that something of this nature can cause, was enormously appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend BS and Jackie for their impeccable, personal and professional service. Thank you!

Cannot thank Kieran enough for helping us purchase our first home. As first time buyers he explained everything calmy and clearly and completed all of our searches and checks so quickly and efficiently.

Unfortunately we were in a very long and stressful house chain with multiple situations going wrong at the top of our chain and far beyond our control. Kieran went above and beyond to investigate these issues and get back to us with reliable and accurate information. After months of delays he even stayed until 5.30pm on a Friday to exchange contracts and get it all over the line (only to find out the top of the chains solicitor had gone home).

Whenever I called to ask (many) questions, he was so calm, polite and always gave the most accurate information and was honest and realistic when talking about time lines.

Cannot speak highly enough and would 100% recommend.

Faultless experience.
Jackie Curtis was my solicitor and was professional, communicative, trustworthy and pro-active.
Probably the best conveyancing experience I have had to date.
Would definitely use again and would recommend in a heartbeat.
If only our vendor's solicitors had been as good...
Thank you.

I recently used Batchelor Sharp as my solicitors for selling and buying property, and after some horrible experiences in the past, I was relieved to receive such excellent service. They consistently communicated with me, keeping me informed at every step of the process, and were always available to answer any questions. Their explanations were clear and easy to understand, making the legal aspects much less daunting. What truly stood out was their friendly and personable approach; they treated me with kindness and respect, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Batchelor Sharp to anyone seeking a reliable and approachable solicitor.
