How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?

Need a Solicitor?

If you or someone you know finds themselves in need of a reliable efficient solicitor look no further than IBB Law. Recently a family member required a solicitor and luck was shining down when he was provided with a solicitor from the above firm . The advice was extremely professional and they went above and beyond in providing a very thorough service on behalf of their client and always had time to speak to family members with their client’s interests always at the forefront

Picking a firm of solicitors with detailed knowledge of Charity Law could have been a nightmare but I felt very confident in IBB after my initial communications & so was able to recommend, to the rest of the Board of Trustees, that we use IBB. We certainly do not regret our decision.

Mr John Milner of IBB Lawyers was recommended to me by another Lawyer who did not deal with Legal Aid. I was very impressed with his warm approach and his clever way to interpret my case and explain things to me in simple ways that I understood. this all lead to a successful outcome and I would have no hesitation to recommend John to anyone that may require such services.

A representative from IBB Law responded to this review on 22 July, 2019:

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review,. At IBB we work hard to understand out clients needs and offer the best solutions for them - I am pleased to hear that John has succeeded in doing this for you.

We recently completed both a sale and purchase with IBB Law, and we cannot recommend Laurence and his team enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication were truly exceptional.
From start to finish, their communication was second to none—we were kept informed every step of the way, which gave us complete confidence in the process. Laurence and Julie were incredibly helpful, ensuring that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. Both, were exceptionally knowledgeable, explaining everything in a clear and thorough manner.
What really stood out was their accessibility and commitment to client care. Unlike many firms where you struggle to reach a dedicated point of contact, Laurence and Julie were always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and offer reassurance. We felt valued and listened to at all times, making what can often be a stressful process far more manageable.
If you're looking for a conveyancing team that is professional, communicative, and genuinely cares about its clients, we wholeheartedly recommend IBB Law.

A representative from IBB Law responded to this review on 20 February, 2025:

Thank you for your review. We really appreciate the feedback you have given us. We pride ourselves on the quality of service we provide and the fact that our lawyers go the extra mile for their clients. We look forward to working with you in the future.

The experience was very good, everything was explained in full and there was a great communication channel at all times. Despite the selling party being very difficult to deal with, my experience with IBB was excellent and would highly recommend.
