Simply Brilliant

This review is for a different branch.

Robert Dawson is simply brilliant.

His constant updates and support makes the process so seamless in what can be a stressful time when moving home.

I have used Rob for previous purchases and sales and will never use another solicitor.

The fact that the paperwork can be reviewed and signed electronically makes the process simple and effective whilst also having a positive impact on the environment.

He is always on hand to reply to any queries in a timely and efficient manner.

Such a fantastic service and again we thank you for all of your help Rob, you Gem!!

Robert was amazing during the sale and purchase of my recent property. So efficient and communication was spot on. If you need a professional who will communicate with you during the process, Robert will be the person you need.

Excellent service

This review is for a different branch.

Ozlem and Zeynep pushed through what became quite a complex and challenging sale with an awful deadline to meet! Charming, professional and empathetic, I could not rate this practice highly enough. This is the third time I have used Barnes over 22 years and have always been given an excellent service.

Lack of communication

This review is for a different branch.

I have contacted Barnes and Partners multiple times over the past couple months, with a request for a refund for a property purchase that never took place. I have had no response from anyone of the half dozen emails and phone calls.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

This review is for a different branch.

Actually don’t know where to start with this lot. Topping the list of incompetence is Wendy Gudgeon, followed by the permanently bewildered Kevin Winterflood, and last but not least the feckless ‘how very dare you’ Barnes himself: Nigel.
Wendy Gudgeon did our conveyance for a property but neglected to tell us about an overarching planning condition that affected the property. Fact is, she took her eye off the ball and allowed us to purchase the property without any knowledge of the restrictions. When we found out (it was awful!) we contacted Wendy Gudgeon about this massive oversight and well, that’s when the Barnes & Partners charades began. Cue the Benny Hill music. You simply won’t believe what this firm of solicitors concocted - what an absolute embarrassment! Suffice to say it didn’t take long for the Legal Ombudsman to catch the stench of utter BS in this case and declared their service to be of a POOR STANDARD.
If they did it to us they can do it to you! Go somewhere else. Please!

Excellent Conveyancing Service

This review is for a different branch.

The service provided by Robert Dawson at Barnes & Partners was second-to-none. Lines of communication were constantly open and we were regularly updated on a proactive basis. We always felt as though our house move was in very safe, experienced, professional hands.
