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.

This review is for a different branch.

My experience with Bramsdon and Childs was excellent. I was given time to think about my choices and what I decided was dealt with promptly. I had a face to face meeting where everything was explained and I didn’t feel rushed. I would definitely use this company again.

Very grateful for seamless service from Jade at Bramsdon & Childs Southsea, who helped us purchase our first house. We'll be recommending her and B&C to friends in the area. No complaints or hold-ups and everything explained to us nice and accessibly. Thanks!

Nicole and Viktoria were recommended to us as solicitors for our first home purchase, and they did an excellent job. We contacted them in early June 2023, and by September 2023, we had completed the process and received our keys. We received regular email updates during the entire process, resulting in a smooth and hassle-free experience. I highly recommend them.

Thank you !
