I recently used Butcher & Barlow after a family member recommended them as I was having problems with a tennant and had received a letter that the company we used were replying for a cva agreement.
I got put in contact with Mark Turner who went through the info providing advice on what to do best.
Thanks to Marks advice the Tennant has now been advised and we are finally getting our property back
I would have no hesitation in recommending Butcher & Barlow as they have took away a lot of stress with there advice

Great support and advice.

Asim has been so kind, helpful and supportive during this tricky time. The communication was great and Asim was always on hand to explain things in a way we could understand. Both myself and my husband had confidence in Asim and the advice he gave us. We can't thank him enough for getting us through this case.

Swift response and honest feedback on a time sensitive matter

I received excellent service from Asim Din who responded to my cold-email request swiftly, kindly reviewed my information and had a very productive conversation. The advice provided was honest and it was clear Asim was thinking in my best interests as a potential client.
100% recommend.

I phoned mark with a passing off issue with our business. Mark explained everything to me over the phone and made everything extremely clear. We came up with a plan of action and mark dealt with it extremely quickly. Mark followed up and we have very quickly got the results we were hoping for. Thank you

Could not be better looked after

We have been in business for over 59 years, yet had little experience in the area of expertise required to deal with the commercial tenant issue we found ourselves in, Paige guided us through it, and we got an unexpected positive result.

Very professional approach giving us all the details which we needed to make informed decisions and challenge the landlords as needed to get to the right place for us. Also done in a very friendly way which I really appreciated. The combination of these two approaches made it very easy to do business with Zoe and her team.

During such a low ebb in my life Mark Turner from this practice was professional, compassionate, honest, truthful and offered genuine advice on my situation. I would have no hesitation in reccomending their services or using them again in the future.

I have been on this planet for many a year, and have had countless dealings with different people and organisations.

Perhaps I am one of those blessed or very lucky individuals, but generally speaking, all my dealings with B & B have been painless.
Having said that, I don't think that my guardian angels have anything to do with the most professional and customer friendly treatment I have received from ALL at Butcher & Barlow (NORTHWICH).
I was not expecting a ''What do you think of Butcher & Barlow'' today because I have done business with them a few occasions prior.
However, when I left their office today I told the dear lady at the front desk that I thought they were all very charming people.

For over 12 months, Mark Fletcher at Butcher and Barlow has been providing me with excellent legal advice. Although it sometimes might not have been what I wanted to hear, it was always in my best interests. Mark informed me of the fees up front so there were never any hidden costs. Communication and follow-up was excellent and Mark was able to discuss my case either on the phone, by email or face to face. I would highly recommend Butcher and Barlow.
