The Service I Received Was Excellent

I am of poor heath, about to undergo major surgery. Time was of the essence. Three/four hours later following my initial consultation with Charlotte Cordell, Adam brought a draft copy of my new Will to my home for me to approve. Excellent service.

I cannot rate Barwells highly enough

When my mother died in Oct 2023, I requested that Barwells conduct Probate, Conveyancing and finalise her affairs. During the very first meeting with Barwells Stephen Ash, he quietly but assuredly laid out the what, the how and the outline costs of my instructions. Barwells then calmly and thoroughly proceeded to execute all the requirements. This included engaging with utility companies, banks, local government, completing all legal documents - the list was endless. They adroitly completed everything, coping efficiently with all the issues. Their service was faultless. Moreover, based on performance, cost and time - Barwells proved to be true value for money. I cannot rate them highly enough; they gave me total reassurance during a very difficult time.

I had Kayleigh Dowty helping me out at Barwells, she was amazing at making me feel confident and at ease. She was incredibly generous with her time and knowledge in helping me and should anything arise in the future, I will have absolutely no hold backs in asking for her help again.

The whole team at Barwells Newhaven are amazing. They have to be the best conveyancing solicitors I have ever used. They stayed in regular communication with me, updating me and chasing any questions I had. I always felt I was clear as to what was going on during the sale and purchase process, which is essential. I would definitely use them again. Thank you so much! 5 out of 5 stars.

Outstanding firm. Absolutely delighted with the professionalism, approachability and efficacy of Barwells. Niall Doherty helped us with a purchase and a remortgage and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. Extremely grateful to both Niall and Barwells. Highly recommend.
