Would highly recommend

Tracey's professionalism, expertise and approachability made selling our beloved family home much less stressful that we at first envisaged. We were so pleased that Tracey was recommended to us and felt that we were in safe hands throughout the process from beginning to end. With many thanks for your first class service, Tracey.

Fantastic experience

This was the second time I used Barr Ellison for conveyancing. I came back to them because they were fantastic the first time, and they were great again. Tracey was approachable, proactive, and knowledgeable. She handled my very unresponsive buyers solicitors well, without her I don't think my sale and purchase would have gone through.

Mellars - Court of Protection and House Clearance

We, family and friends have a task to employ a Solicitor to arrange Deputyship for my late cousin's widow now in care and to sort and empty their home ready for sale. The whole task is complex, but Mel has been invaluable in corresponding with us all and other parties to enable this to happen. We have had many communications from Mel and have met her on site at the house. She is concise in her communications and professionally friendly when we met.
I could just about tick all the boxes below, but I am not the only one messaging and telephoning, so give my personal opinion.
Not living in Cambridge, I am unlikely to use the Practice again, but could recommend to others nearby.
Value for money - I don't know as I don't know how much it costs. The final payment will be paid from the Estate of my cousin and his widow's funds. I will not be involved.
As the matter is not yet completed, I cannot complete the 'satisfaction'. I am definitely satisfied so far with all that has been done for us. I have to answer as the form cannot be submitted without one, so have answered to the affirmative.
I have been extremely happy with all communications from all the professionals I have dealt with so far. It is not quite finished.

Deputyship application

From the very first phone conversation through to the last, and in all our meetings, Mel has been an absolute pleasure to deal with, reassuring me at every stage of the process with her professionalism, re-balancing my anxiety about some difficult matters by bringing perspective, focus and clarity that was most appropriate at specific times during the process. At times when we needed to act quickly and efficiently, Mel was amazing and clearly understood the level of my ability to move swiftly with her, so that expectations of each other's abilities were fully supported and efficiently actionable.

Fantastic service from true professionals

Tracey and team were fantastic. Diligent, thorough, attentive and communicative. Our house purchase had a number of conditions that Tracey had the experience and expertise to manage and ensure we weren't put at risk through the process. A stress free engagement due to how the Barr Ellison team managed and dealt with the other parties involved. True professionals who care about you their client. Recommended and thanks for all your help.

You are a very special person and I have been exceptionally fortunate to have your support.

Emma, I scarcely know where to start in thanking you and Barr Ellison for the way you have supported and helped me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. I think that wuthout your empathy and understanding, coming to terms with my life adter the accident, learning to adapt to new circumstances and being able to look forwards to the future positively would almost certainly not have happened. For that I will always be grateful. I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart and send every good wish for your future.

Fantastic throughout my claim

Daryl Robinson has been fantastic throughout my claim. Knowing that I had someone this good in my corner while I was recovering from my injury was so reassuring. He fought hard for a good settlement, and secured compensation that I felt was fair. At the same time, he's very reassuring and calm, as well as efficient and well organised - all the things you need in a very stressful situation. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Emma Hunt at Barr Ellison handled our conveyancing this year and I recommend her unhesitatingly. She was efficient, effective and always responsive. I felt completely in safe hands and it was an almost painless process, despite living overseas with the complications of different time zones. Their fees were also very reasonable and competitive with other local solicitors. Five stars!

We were very lucky to have Shaz. He was always there to help us when we needed it.
I only picked Barr Ellison because it was convenient for me as I work at CUH. I am so pleased we did. Shaz helped us sell our bungalow. He was always there to help with our random questions. I couldn't ask for a better service. Thank you for all your hard work Shaz!

About this branch

Description

When a firm of Cambridge solicitors tells you they’ve been around for over 130 years, it can make them sound rather stuffy. The reality, however, would surprise you. We’re certainly proud of our long history of good, old-fashioned client care – but there are other, equally important qualities that have made us what we are: the ability to anticipate and adapt to change, keeping abreast of the latest developments, being constantly prepared for the future.
