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.

Completed on our home last Thursday and had used Butcher & Barlow (44 church st leigh) based on a recommendation of how good Karen is.

Kirsty Frain took point on this for us and it took little over 2months from instruction, through to completion with advice/guidance given where needed, laser sharp (in exactly the way you'd want your solicitor to be!)

I hope i don't need conveyancing again any time soon, but if I do i'll be coming straight back here.
