I highly recommend Brachers for conveyancing after they recently helped me purchase my first property, and in record time! My solicitor was Tim and he was efficient, had great communication and kept me in the loop every step of the way. My experience was smooth; Tim was professional and concise, I was well informed and confident after witnessing how thorough his questioning and investigation were prior to purchase. They may not be the cheapest firm around but you get what you pay for and the service I received at Brachers was second to none.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 12 February, 2025:
It is great to hear about your positive experience with us, and especially with Tim, during your first property purchase. Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We're delighted that Tim's efficiency, excellent communication, and thorough approach made your experience so smooth and stress-free. Buying a first home is a huge milestone, and we understand how important it is to have a solicitor you can trust and who keeps you informed every step of the way. We wish you all the best in your new home.

If I could give 6 stars I would!
I cannot express enough how fantastic Tim, Claire and the rest of the team have been in dealing with the sale of my house!
It wasn't a straightforward sale, but their excellent communication, ability to explain things to me in words that made sense, expertise and their reassurance got me through the experience with my sanity relatively intact.
I will most definitely be using them again for any legal support I may need in the future, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy solicitor.
A representative from Brachers LLP responded to this review on 10 January, 2025:
We're really happy to hear this Friday and are very grateful that you took the time to leave us a review. We'll ensure your comments are passed to Tim, Clare and the rest of the Residential Property team. We're thrilled to hear that the team were able to assist you through the complexities of your house sale. We look forward to supporting you with any future legal needs. Thanks again for your trust and confidence in our services!

Excellent service, Rachel was always on top of everything , chasing the right people etc, and always responded to any questions I had very promptly.
Brachers are not the cheapest around but they are reasonably priced and are definitely worth more than every penny they charge.
I also really like the app. Last time I used Brachers this wasn’t about and it makes such a difference, making everything so much easier.
