OVER 50 CASES AND NOT ONCE LET ME DOWN…

As an estate agent I deal with the good, the bad and the ugly in terms of conveyancing solicitors but Hannah Rafferty is in a category of her own. Superb! I recommend her regularly and she is yet to have anyone unhappy with her services and her communicative approach is unlike that of many other solicitors - she often comes to me to with updates.

She also did my own sale and purchase last year which of course, flew through…

Megan, her paralegal, is a close 2nd in terms of sales person you want acting on your file!

Carrie, Theresa & Cherry in the office are all lovely to deal with too…

Representation from Serhan

This review is for a different branch.

Serhan was incredibly professional and diligent throughout a year long legal dispute.

Regardless of the fact both himself and Elizabeth Barlow managed to win the dispute and get our desired outcome, it would have been a pleasure to deal with them no matter the result as they articulated their work at every move and provided grate guidance.

Would thoroughly recommend!

I have always found Serhan Handani and his team to be professional and polite. The case has dragged on and on but I have always felt that they had my best interests at heart.

Bramsdon & Childs, and Hannah Rafferty in particular, were excellent for my recent house sale.
It wasn't a straightforward transaction, yet Hannah remained focused and professional throughout, keeping us informed and explaining our options at every turn. Hannah was proactive at communicating, which I haven't always found to be true when dealing with solicitors in the past. If it hadn't been for Hannah and our excellent estate agent (Neil Thorpe from Nexa), I think the sale may have fallen through.
5 stars, would definitely recommend Hannah and Bramsdon & Childs.

I used Bramsdon & Childs as my choice of solicitors to buy my first property and they did an excellent job.

Hannah and her team provide me very detailed explanations in each step of the process.

Professional, excellent communication and they were always answering questions with no delay.

I definitely recommend Bramsdon & Childs to anyone who needs a solicitor.

After wasting 18mths trying to solve an issue selling a flat with another solicitor I contacted Hannah at Bramsdon and Child's and she sorted it out quickly and cost effectively. A great firm, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Bramsdon&Childs Solicitors for the purchase of my first mortgage, and I couldn't be happier with the outstanding service I received. Hannah Rafferty and Megan Barnet went above and beyond to make the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Hannah's expertise and attention to detail ensured that every legal aspect was handled with precision. She patiently answered all my questions and guided me through each step, making me feel confident in my decisions.

Megan's dedication and responsiveness were truly exceptional. She kept me informed throughout the entire process, promptly addressing any concerns and ensuring that everything progressed smoothly.

Thanks to Hannah and Megan, I'm now a proud homeowner, and I couldn't have done it without their expertise and support. I highly recommend Bramsdon&Childs Solicitors, especially the incredible duo of Hannah Rafferty and Megan Barnet, for anyone seeking top-notch legal assistance in their property matters. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
