Excellent and rapid service

We used BTMK for the sale of our home. We dealt mainly with Abi Dyer who was extremely professional, proactive and efficient. Abi dealt with all queries from both parties and kept us informed of progress throughout.

Super fast and super efficient!

Impressed with the way the deal was done ahead of a deadline having been let down by my (ex) mortgage broker. Having sourced the new mortgage, it was all down to Chris, Holly and Abi that it was completed before additional interest was charged. Many thanks to you all!

Disappointing experience

Remortgaging as a Help To Buy London customer has its own unique difficulties, but the lack of persistence from this Solicitors to pick up the phone and chase Help To Buy ended up delaying the completion and costing me. I was recommended this Solicitor by my Mortgage Advisor and I regret using them.

Property Purchase

I recently used BTMK to handle the legal aspects of purchasing a property, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received. From start to finish, the process was seamless, professional, and stress-free thanks to their expertise and attention to detail.

The entire team at BTMK was friendly, approachable, and genuinely committed to providing excellent client service. I felt like I was in safe hands throughout the process, which made an otherwise stressful experience much easier.

Emily and her team have been great to keep me informed during holidays and out of office hours. They supported our suggested strategy when sending our deposit to help keep us safe and ensure safe deposit of funds.

I highly recommend BTMK to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor for their property transaction. They are an absolute pleasure to work with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again in the future!

Thank you!

As the dusts settles, very literally, I wanted to share my sincere thanks and gratitude for BTMK’s support with our recent house move. These guys (and girls!) are a testament to their profession and I would without doubt recommend and use their services again! A special shout out to Amy Lambert too (she’s not listed in the names to choose from) but deserves credit too!

Genuinely, they made the process so much easier for my wife and I and we cannot thank you enough. I'm delighted we are now in our forever home. The fun stuff, building work, for us starts on 3 January so we're in the midst of debating over design and finishes :-)

Great experience

Me & my boyfriend have recently just purchased our first home, we had no clue how the process worked but Emily talked us the whole way through. Emily was recommended to us by our mortgage advisors and I’m so so glad we went ahead with BTMK. Emily made our experience a pleasure and less stressful as possible. Was very good and quick at responding to us, one evening I emailed after hours and requested a call as I was confused on something within minutes Emily called, we was kept up to date with every step. Cannot recommend Emily enough, thank you for helping us and making this a great experience as it should be!

I called them a week ago & they said they could do what I needed, & asked me to email for an appointment. Despite further phone calls & emails, no-one has bothered to get back to me. I told them I needed this done before the weekend & they’ve now caused me a lot of grief, & I still need to find a solicitor to do what I need.

We had such a positive experience with BTMK Marcus Baum. Yolanda and Danielle kept us fully informed at every stage of the process and dealt with all our enquiries in a timely and professional way. Yolanda took so much of the stress out of the process. We would highly recommend BTMK.

About this branch

Description

Many years ago, there were four leading law firms based in South Essex. Travell Horner, Bates & Partners, Twitchen & Musters, and finally Robinson & Kelly. The first two, Travell Horner and Bates & Partners merged and became Bates Travell, and then the other two superb law firms Twitchen & Musters and Robinson Kelly also came together to become Twitchen, Musters, Robinson & Kelly – which was a bit of a mouthful so they became TMK Solicitors in due course. These two exceptional legal practices continued until they decided to join forces and became the BTMK that we know and love today.

Practice areas

All areas of personal law such as family & matrimonial, litigation & dispute resolution, professional negligence, childcare, employment law, insolvency, personal injury & clinical negligence, wills, probate, trusts & inheritance, injunctions, contentious probate and will disputes. All areas of commercial and business related law such as commercial property (buying, selling, entering into, disposing), business sales and acquisitions, commercial litigation and dispute resolution, intellectual property, insolvency and winding-up procedures, injunctions and employer related employment work.
