Louise has handled two conveyancing transactions for us now, and she was absolutely brilliant (as were all the team we came into contact with during the process). Efficient, friendly and always on the ball - Louise was a breath of fresh air. Many thanks for all the hard work.

House sale and house purchase

For my first house move in 34 years I used Brockbanks Solicitors and Ceri Bevan guided me through what felt like a minefield of new and what could have been, daunting experiences. She was friendly, helpful and totally professional at all times. I became very clear to me that her knowledge and expertise was far greater than the solicitors who were also involved in my home move transactions, acting for my buyers and sellers. I would not hesitate to recommend Ceri and Brockbanks.

Conveyancing

I had the worst experience with horrendous buyers messing me around and gazumping, losing the chance to purchase property we were ready to buy, and having to go back to market and also search for new properties. Throughout all of the upset and the extra work generated, Ceri our Solicitor never skipped beat. She was fabulous, considerate, professional and focused. A great communicator providing a service second to non. I wouldn't hesitate to come back or recommend Brockbanks to anyone!

I used the Brockbanks Cockermouth solicitors for my house purchase, and they were great!
The purchase had a lot of complications from the house deeds and seller's solicitors, but Brockbanks were able to help and advise throughout and made sure everything went through properly and as quickly as possible.

Absolutely would recommend!

Thank you for your business and for the kind review, which we have passed onto the team in Cockermouth.

ceri bevan and her team were extremely helpful and went the extra mile to resolve difficult issues we faced them with. Covid 19 must have proved difficult for the team, at times, but none of this seemed to phase them. We have used Brockbanks since the early 2000s and been extremely satisfied with their professional attitude. We will have no hesitation in using their services in the near future or recommending them to friends.
