Made a difficult time much easier!

Shibli was fantastic from start to finish with selling my half of my late Mums property to a family member. It was so daunting for me but Shibli was so patient and professional that I felt at ease with it all. I would definitely use Birketts again.

My American wife had problems with her leave to remain. Sara-Michelle Colvin handled our case with professionalism and skill. I would strongly recommend Birketts and Sara-Michelle in particular should you have immigration issues.

Flawless from beginning to end

This is our second time with Shibli helping us buy/sell our home. She’s like no other Solicitor - always responsive, helpful, communicative, friendly - we just can’t recommend her enough. We have used other solicitors in the past and have experience of them on the other side of the transaction and there is no comparison. The usual frustrations and delays just don’t happen. If you need things to move quickly, efficiently and feel informed throughout, ask Shibli if she can represent you.

Highly recommended

Shibli was highly professional and excellent with communication from our first telephone conversation until after the property had sold. Our sale was complicated as it became apparent throughout that previous solicitors instructed during conveyancing and especially for a lease extension process had not been as efficient as they should have been and as a consequence this created problems that needed navigating. The service management company in particular and the buyers solicitor were also slow to respond and needed constant chasing for replies.
I would highly recommend Shibli and her team. Her assistant Jamie was also helpful and excellent with communication on the day of completion. By far the best solicitor we have ever instructed and would put others to shame.

So very considerate and devastatingly effective

Our transaction had come unglued, our previous solicitors had withdrawn (apologising for their repeated errors), about six weeks wasted and we are no longer young enough to be that resilient.

Victor Meldrew? "I cannot belieeeve it!"? That's me, mostly.
Trying to downsize our lives after waiting perhaps a bit too long.
Shibli was able to reassure me and plan a route through to a satisfactory completion, despite some tricky online misinforrmation from the authorities on the planning permission status of our house-to-be, that is now our house! Sorted!
So very pleased with the unfailing communication, her excellent team, and her ability to deliver on every commitment. Flawless. Thank you, Shibli!

Thank you Shibli

Shibli was fantastic throughout our whole buying and selling process. We had quite a few hiccups along the way (no fault of hers) and she managed them all and went above and beyond for us. She is so responsive and always clear with her communication through every step of the process. We couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you Shibli.

Shibli Begum

Once the price of the property had been agreed I got in touch with Birketts LLP Cambridge and Shibli Begum got me to completion in 4 weeks. I was informed and guided through each stage of the process. Communication was effortless and I found Shibli to be extremely professional, helpful and friendly.

I can't imagine having a better conveyancing solicitor

Shibli is very professional and led us through what was a completely new process very well. She clearly knows what she is doing. Our sale was not remotely straightforward, and this only materialised later in the process. Shibli this in her stride and guided us through a process that was a complete pain but absolutely none of that came from her. She did her best to protect us from a pretty awful seller's solicitor and in the end it all worked out-- we have our lovely house and will never forget Shibli and all of the hard work that she did for us.
