Making my new Will

I found Rosie very easy to work with and also patient when I was finding certain points (particularly Inheritance Tax) hard to make sense of. I appreciated that she had clearly gone through various details of the information I wanted to include and needed to clarify. I would recommend your company, in fact have already, to anyone I know who hasn't made their Will yet.

Daisy is an excellent solicitor

I approached Burt, Brill and Cardens with a complex matter having found them very good in the past with other matters. Daisy (Tester) has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She has a confident, calm professionalism about her that took all of the stress out of a stressful situation for me. Daisy really listens and finds solutions to problems quickly and efficiently. I was very impressed how she kept me in the loop along the way with clear and informative emails - professionally written, but without any unnecessary legalise.

Thoroughly recommended.

Burt Brill & Cardens have recently handled the conveyancing of 2 houses in our late mother's estate. As so often in such affairs, there were complexities which were handled with the patience, care and professionalism that we have come to expect over the very many years of using this excellent firm in a number of legal matters.

Super efficient and professional

Abigail recently assisted us in buying our first home and we could not have asked for more! As first time buyers we were a little daunted but Abigail was super approachable. Our offer to completion only took ten weeks thanks to Abigail’s efficiency and professionalism. The process was so much easier with Abigails knowledge and skills, communication was clear throughout and we were kept in the loop with regular updates. I will certainly be recommending her in future.

Great conveyancing service

Jess responded quickly and thoroughly to queries during a house purchase. She was proactive in chasing up responses during a fallow period and very efficient in her work and communication. I felt I was in touch with developments throughout the process and had complete trust in her to look after my interests. Her attention to detail and clear and honest explanation of legal terms was also very much appreciated. Thanks so much!

A great experience

Madeleine and Jack supported me through a transfer of deeds and remortgage. They were kind, efficient, and I felt like I was in safe hands the whole way through the process. They made a stressful experience much more tolerable. Thank you!

I live in Japan but needed a Will for the UK. Burt, Brill and Cardens Solicitors were first-class throughout. I had the good fortune to be advised and guided by Stephanie Batts who was wonderfully efficient and so helpful in completing the process from the other side of the world to me.
