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.

Emily was efficient and always kept us updated with the situation. She was empathetic as we the procedure was slow due to the backlog with the courts. I would highly recommend her.
