We used backhouse Solicitors for the sale of 2 houses, to buy one so not an easy sale. Our solicitor was absolutely fantastic, always contactable, very reassuring when I had moments of panic and nothing was too much trouble at all. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommended them.

I contacted Backhouse Solicitors to help with me with my settlement agreement. It was then I was introduced to Sarina Hayes who went through my entire agreement with a fine toothcomb and explained everything to me. During our consultation Sarina made me feel at ease and that I am in safe hands. I wanted to also thank Amy Crisp who was also available to answer any questions that had during the entire process. Thanks every so much.
Would recommend to anybody that requires a solicitor.
A representative from Backhouse Solicitors Ltd responded to this review on 26 September, 2024:
Dear Robin, thank you for taking the time to leave a wonderful review for Sarina and the team. We are so pleased to have helped with your issue and are glad you felt at ease. Thank you also for your recommendation. From everyone at Backhouse Solicitors.

Good communication and quick with replies to any questions. Good value for money as we shopped around and some other solicitors were far more expensive, recommended by Savilles as you dealt with our development previously.

After researching solicitor firms with excellent reviews, I reached out to Backhouse Solicitors for assistance with my employment case and was scheduled to meet with Sarina Hayes.
Sarina was exceptional in quickly grasping the details of my case and providing clear, professional advice on the available steps. She immediately made me feel at ease, offering both reassurance and strong support in addressing my concerns. By the end of our first meeting, I was confident in her ability to represent me effectively.
I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding service Sarina provided throughout the duration of my case. From start to finish, she showed unwavering dedication, ensuring every detail was carefully managed.
Sarina kept me informed at every step of the legal process, explaining my options and ultimately securing a successful outcome.
Her professionalism, thoroughness, and attention to detail were key in handling my case. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking skilled and reliable employment legal representation.
Thank you Sarina and Backhouse Solicitors !!

I couldn’t recommend Backhouse Solicitors enough. I had the pleasure of dealing with Liz and Ben and throughout the whole process I always received not just instant responses to questions but detailed and very well thought out answers. Going with Backhouse was the best decision I made in the whole process and it made everything a lot more straight forward! Thanks again!

We instructed Backhouse to help us with the repayment of our Help to Buy loan. Becky was exceptional and handled everything so quickly and professionally. She kept us up to date every step of the way and we could not be more thankful. We have had some bad experiences with other companies in the past but Becky has restored our faith! She is a real asset to the team. Thanks so much!
