Appalling!

Terrible solicitors. I wish I could give Brockbanks 0 out of 5 but there isn't a zero rating. Unresponsive, inexperienced and highly unprofessional and massively overcharged. Avoid!

Brilliant

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.

Making a will

This review is for a different branch.

I live in Spain and was only in Keswick for three days to visit my family.I cannot rate the service I had from Claire Maxwell highly enough.
She saw me straight away and had the will prepared and ready for signing the following day.
She and the staff were very professional, but also very friendly.
A big thank you to all concerned

A representative from Brockbank Curwen Cain And Hall Limited responded to this review on 21 November, 2024:

Thank you for your great feedback Sylvia. We are delighted to hear Claire and the team provided a professional and friendly service. We appreciate your trust and are glad we could assist you during your visit to Keswick.

House sale and house purchase

This review is for a different branch.

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.

Very good service. The conveyancing had to be done with very poor service from the buyer solicitor but Brockbanks maintained a high level of professional practice throughout.

This review is for a different branch.

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!

We greatly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you again in the future.
