Team Birketts... Exceptional as ever!

This review is for a different branch.

I am delighted with the service and support I received from Krishma and her team at Birketts. As a long-time customer, I was initially nervous when I heard that my previous contact was retiring, but Krishma not only met my expectations—she exceeded them. I was amazed at the level of detail she applied to my application, ensuring a successful outcome. Throughout the process, Krishma and her team were consistently available, answering all my questions and explaining the rationale behind requesting the necessary documents.

I can confidently say that I fully trust Krishma and her team at Birketts. Although I may not need their services again, I will continue to recommend Birketts to everyone I meet.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Krishma, her team, and everyone at Birketts. I wish them all the very best.

Wonderful visa application experience!

This review is for a different branch.

Our experience with Krishma in applying for a UK Family Visa was outstanding throughout the complex and evolving process. Krishma's legal knowledge and calm professionalism made a stressful journey much, much less so and her friendly & personable demeanour made working with her a pleasure. Very highly recommended!

Shibli was fantastic from start to finish with selling my half of my late Mums property to a family member. It was so daunting for me but Shibli was so patient and professional that I felt at ease with it all. I would definitely use Birketts again.

My American wife had problems with her leave to remain. Sara-Michelle Colvin handled our case with professionalism and skill. I would strongly recommend Birketts and Sara-Michelle in particular should you have immigration issues.

Flawless from beginning to end

This review is for a different branch.

This is our second time with Shibli helping us buy/sell our home. She’s like no other Solicitor - always responsive, helpful, communicative, friendly - we just can’t recommend her enough. We have used other solicitors in the past and have experience of them on the other side of the transaction and there is no comparison. The usual frustrations and delays just don’t happen. If you need things to move quickly, efficiently and feel informed throughout, ask Shibli if she can represent you.

Highly recommended

This review is for a different branch.

Shibli was highly professional and excellent with communication from our first telephone conversation until after the property had sold. Our sale was complicated as it became apparent throughout that previous solicitors instructed during conveyancing and especially for a lease extension process had not been as efficient as they should have been and as a consequence this created problems that needed navigating. The service management company in particular and the buyers solicitor were also slow to respond and needed constant chasing for replies.
I would highly recommend Shibli and her team. Her assistant Jamie was also helpful and excellent with communication on the day of completion. By far the best solicitor we have ever instructed and would put others to shame.

So very considerate and devastatingly effective

This review is for a different branch.

Our transaction had come unglued, our previous solicitors had withdrawn (apologising for their repeated errors), about six weeks wasted and we are no longer young enough to be that resilient.

Victor Meldrew? "I cannot belieeeve it!"? That's me, mostly.
Trying to downsize our lives after waiting perhaps a bit too long.
Shibli was able to reassure me and plan a route through to a satisfactory completion, despite some tricky online misinforrmation from the authorities on the planning permission status of our house-to-be, that is now our house! Sorted!
So very pleased with the unfailing communication, her excellent team, and her ability to deliver on every commitment. Flawless. Thank you, Shibli!

Thank you Shibli

This review is for a different branch.

Shibli was fantastic throughout our whole buying and selling process. We had quite a few hiccups along the way (no fault of hers) and she managed them all and went above and beyond for us. She is so responsive and always clear with her communication through every step of the process. We couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you Shibli.
