From start to finish, Keighly was brilliant - she was always proactive, thorough, and clear in her communications with me. She always promptly answered any questions I had, making me feel comfortable in the process of buying a flat. I'd happily recommend her to anyone!

Our journey with this practice started off in October and ended in March. Along the way, we were kept informed of the progress with the sale, and anytime we wanted to reach out it was just either a phone call away or an email. Response times were great and we have been very happy with the service
A representative from BTMK Solicitors responded to this review on 04 April, 2025:

We're thrilled to hear that you were kept informed throughout the entire housing and property process and had a positive experience with Yolanda and the team.

Keighly helped oversee the process of buying a flat just before the stamp duty rise. Her quick responses and follow-ups to the seller's solicitors really helped the completion date be before the stamp duty tax rise. She coordinated running several things in parallel as we waited for the seller's solicitors to be able to exchange as soon as we could. Really recommend her services, it has been great!
A representative from BTMK Solicitors responded to this review on 03 April, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful review, Gareth. We're so glad to hear that Keighly's prompt and proactive approach helped you complete your flat purchase just in time. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're happy to have been able to assist you through the process. If you need any further help in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out.

We had been recommended Keighly by a friend, and I’m glad we found her.
Out buying process went on forever, a few lost houses and one last push before the SDLT rule changes, Keighly has done amazing job, stuck with us, guided throughout and has been an absolutely spot on and efficient.
Nothing was never too much of bother and always answered my questions promptly.
We couldn’t have done this without her.
Thank you!

We were purchasing a flat in London and aimed to do so quickly to avoid increases in SDLT. Keighly ensured we were able to meet this deadline. She consistently responded very quickly, explained all steps clearly, and kept pushing things along. I would recommend her to anyone purchasing a home in London.

I purchased a property at auction in December making the completion deadline very challenging. I chose BTMK from our lender's panel and on my initial contact Matt Clark was frank about the challenges in meeting the deadline, helpful and generous with his advice. Subsequently Matt, Hazel and Kelly were professional, helpful, responsive and efficient. I am happy to recommend.
A representative from BTMK Solicitors responded to this review on 31 March, 2025:
Thank you for your positive feedback, Martin. We're glad Matt, Hazel, and Kelly were able to support you through the challenging process. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you again in the future!

Caolan
Collected on:
Was brilliant, thorough, communicative and fantastic at hitting a deadline for the sale. Never made me feel like I was chasing or that things wouldn't get done in time - I've heard a lot of horror stories about conveyancers being slow or needing to be reminded of things - Keighly was the complete opposite. Completely unfussed, unfazed and always in control. Impeccable service and perfect results!
A representative from BTMK Solicitors responded to this review on 31 March, 2025:
Thank you for your fantastic feedback, Caolan. We're thrilled to hear Keighly provided such efficient, stress-free service and delivered great results. We truly appreciate your kind words!

Keighly was absolutely brilliant throughout the entire process, and I cannot thank her enough for her exceptional support. As an international citizen, finding the right solicitor was a challenge for me, but Keighly made everything so much easier. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and efficient, ensuring that everything was done quickly and seamlessly.
From the very start, Keighly was eager to assist and guided me step by step. She took the time to thoroughly summarize all the documents and worked tirelessly to communicate with the management company on my behalf. Her dedication and attention to detail truly set her apart, and I’ve never encountered a solicitor as outstanding as her.
If you ever have the opportunity to work with Keighly, know that you’re in excellent hands. You won’t regret your decision, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a solicitor who goes above and beyond. Thank you, Keighly, for making this process so much easier and for your unwavering support!
A representative from BTMK Solicitors responded to this review on 31 March, 2025:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Shuri. We’re thrilled to hear that Keighly provided such exceptional support throughout the process. It’s fantastic that we could make your experience smooth and seamless, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.

I initially instructed a different firm of solicitors in leigh on sea where the service provided was extremely poor. Luckily I realised early enough and changed to BTMK solicitors and Joe Burns was dealing with my case. Joe is very professional and hard workig solicitor! From instruction to completion it took about 4 weeks and that included dealing with some complex issues on the way! Thank you very much!

Currently purchasing a house and the sellers are using these solicitors. Absolute joke from the beginning, delayed sending the initial paperwork to our solicitor, lied about when it was sent, slow to respond to queries and we've been waiting on them for 2 weeks now as everyone else is ready. It does not take 3 weeks to sort out an indemnity policy! No chance of exchanging this side of Christmas now as they close tomorrow and we'll be lucky if they even look at their emails today. Avoid!

BTMK acted for us in the remortgage of our property and simultaneous purchase of a buy to let property.The team involved were Matthew Clarke, Holly Pain, Hazel Bourke and Rebecca Witterick.
We were extremely impressed at the efficiency, helpfulness and courtesy shown to us. The team were readily available to speak to and if not, our calls were returned promptly. Similarly, emails were answered promptly and anything we didn't understand was explained to us. The transaction was completed in under 3 months, which, during lockdown, was very impressive.
We would not hesitate to recommend BTMK or use your services again

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.
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.
