Brilliant from start to finish

Casey Ashton dealt with the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my new house and has been excellent throughout both! Communication was brilliant as was the efficiency! Wouldn’t use any other solicitor’s and would highly recommend Casey personally!

Experience Review

I have used Butcher and Barlow now on several transactions after them being recommended to me. My solicitor is Nick Ball who I would highly recommend. Nick is extremely approachable, is readily available, responds quickly, even at weekends, makes everything clear and simple and is extremely knowledgeable and highly competent - I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Outstanding Service

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nicolas Ball during the sale of a small piece of land, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided. From start to finish, Nicholas demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication.

Nicholas guided us through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. I felt that all legal aspects were meticulously handled, giving me peace of mind throughout the transaction. Communication was seamless; Nick was always available to answer questions and provide updates, making the entire experience stress-free.

What truly stood out was his attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Their strategic approach and thoroughness were instrumental in ensuring a smooth and successful sale. I highly recommend Nicholas Ball to anyone in need of legal support for property transactions. Their exceptional service and dedication are truly commendable.

Untrustworthy,shocking experience!!

Not even worth one star.

I instructed Catherine Gregson assisted by Alex Sandland to handle my case of a Boundary Dispute.

Although at first I trusted them implicitly I became worried about certain aspects of the work they were carrying out.

I voiced my concerns in a diplomatic caring way but sadly their response was rude and arrogant.
From that time things went from bad to worse.
I made a complaint to A.Higham the complaints manager but his response was also totally unreasonable.

Eventually as important court dates were being missed I had to quickly seek help and instruct another firm to get me out of the financial mess and terribly stressful situation I had been placed in by the above.

I also made a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman as I did not wish for anyone else to experience what I had been through.

Many of my complaints were upheld by the Ombudsman and resulted in an exceptional award of compensation.

These are some of the comments from the Ombudsman regarding the work of Ms Gregson,A.Sandland and A.Higham :

“Complaints handling unreasonable “by Anthony Higham and Alex Sandland.

“Delays and failures of disclosure documents,instruction of expert witness.
“Missed important Court Dates.”

“Delays in forwarding important information to Clients Legal Insurance Company.”

“Failed to resolve issues.”

“Caused unnecessary frustration “

“Exposed client to total shock and exposure to a particularly stressful situation and financial liability.”
