Great communication and service

Lauren was fantastic the whole way through the process, ensuring we are consistently kept up to date and fighting our battles where needed. We can't thank her and the team enough, especially considering how tricky it can be to find a reliable conveyancing solicitor. We would highly recommend.

Sale of leasehold property

Beverly and her team at David Barney, were absolutely brilliant at dealing with a property sale for my grand-mother. The case was quite complex with lots of different variations but their expert knowledge, guidance and advice was fantastic. The team were quick to respond to all correspondence and kept me updated at all points during the sale process. They even offered me some time to go through documents that I needed help with, thank you.

I would certainly recommend their services forward to others.

Marian Yates gave me excellent advice and her knowledge and understanding was greatly appreciated.
I only gave four stars as I had to chase for updates. I think they should offer a weekly update as standard.

Highly recommended solicitor!

We had an outstanding experience with Mark Feely and his team during our recent home purchase. The team was professional, proactive, and incredibly supportive from start to finish. Their clear communication and attention to detail made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. If you’re looking for a firm that genuinely cares about its clients and goes above and beyond, we highly recommend David Barney & Co, Mark Feely team!

Lauren made the process of our move so much easier. Not a one for emails or any internet use that I used my daughter for. Processes these days are hard for the likes of myself and Lauren was so understanding and made time to meet with myself and my wife to answer questions to explain all what we needed to know. Backed up by her team I couldn’t have wished for more. Thank you Lauren and team.

We recently purchased our first home. Mark and the team were brilliant, we had a lot of questions and they were so helpful. They made a stressful process a lot easier. Mark was supportive and gave us all the guidance we needed and we are grateful to Sam who was so helpful throughout. Would highly recommend!
