House sale

Complete lack of communication especially in the latter stages of our house sale. What was a difficult personal situation was made more stressful by the lack of contact

Exceptional service and a pleasure

an extremely positive experience, with our solicitor dealing with things promptly and efficiently. Excellent communication and support during the whole process, including challenging the vendor solicitors over some matters. Tenacious in getting the vendor solicitor to take a view and come to a compromise, the entire sale process was completed within, approximately eight weeks

Great Service

I would highly recommend Bramsdon and Childs. I had the pleasure of working with Viktoria who was extremely efficient in responding to my emails and phone calls. I was consistently kept updated throughout the entire process. I look forward to working with Viktoria and Bramsdon and Childs again in the future.

Highly Recommended!

I can not recommend Jade highly enough! I have used Jade for a number of purchases and she is excellent. She is very thorough, extremely efficient, explains everything every step of the way and makes what can be a very stressful process extremely easy. She goes above and beyond and is a credit to Bramsdon & Childs.

Excellent!

I used Bramsdon and Childs in 2013 with my purchase of a terraced house in London. I am using them again with my potential sale.

Senior Partner, Andrew Rafferty was very helpful and calming during the extremely difficult purchase which was fraught with problems. I would recommend and I am really pleased that I am using them again. Thank you.

An exceptionally competent, friendly professional Team. Delivery of a great service so far which has been able to navigate through a range of procedures, issues and decisions required. Most importantly a successful outcome so far and confidence in their ability to achieve a successful and agreeable end result.

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 could not recommend Hannah and her team highly enough. They are fantastic. From purchasing to moving in the whole process only took 8 weeks which is unheard of but it's because of how efficient they are and how extremely helpful and reachable they are. I wouldn't use anyone else now after using them.
