House purchase and sale

The service Yolanda provided to expedite the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home was first class. Yolanda kept us updated on progress on a regular basis, any issues were dealt with promptly and professionally. We will be recommending Yolanda to family and friends.

Superb performance from the team at BTMK , despite the slow responses to searches and questions directed to the management companies the BTMK team finally delivered.

House move

The experience with Yolanda was first class and will be recommended to family and friends.
Her communication throughout the whole process was exceptional and remained on hand for any queries at any point. Advised us incredibly well too.

The support functions for Yolanda was great too and we will certainly be a returning customer in the future.

Property Sale

We have previously used BTMK in 2020 for our property conveyancing requirements, when we were delighted with their service, communication and transparent fees.

Moving forwards to 2024, we naturally contacted BTMK to ask them for their services in relation to our property sale and we were once again very happy with their services.

Efficient and good value

Emma was really helpful and communicative. The process was genuinely seamless, and I’d recommend to anyone. I think they are reasonably priced from comparison to other firms, maybe a little more, but worth it for timely responses and excellent knowledge.

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!

How do you rate a solicitor??. you're not good enough to speak to them directly only through an assistant. All for a premium.

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.
