Very easy proccess

We used Janine Cato from blackhurst budd as our solicitor for us buying our first home. She was really helpful and very quick at responding , this was our first experience in buying a home and she made the process really easy and explained everything we didn’t understand. A lot of people usually complain about this process so we were apprehensive but we have no complaints! Thank you very much we will be recommending you going forward

Highly reccomended Chelsie!

We honestly can’t thank Chelsie enough for everything she’s done for us as first-time buyers. From start to finish, she’s been absolutely amazing—super proactive, always keeping us updated, and quick to answer any questions we had along the way. She made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free, which made this such a special and enjoyable experience.

Tara and Lisa managed the sale of one of my properties. They were efficient in providing queries to the other side and it was easy to get updates on the transaction and they were competitively priced. I would have no hesitation in recommending Blackhuat Budd to deal with conveyancing matters.

Great service - highly professional and effective

I sought advice from Megan on a contested County Court matter with a number of technical difficulties concerning the legality of the Plaintiff's claim, the nature of the claim and the details of the claim. She took time to ascertain the facts and gather relevant information before addressing the technical issues. She had a great understanding of the technicalities of court proceedings and dealt with the other party quickly and effectively. In addition to knowing the law and technical procedures, Megan also understands the tactics of litigation. She managed my case to a successful outcome. I highly recommend Megan to anyone needing litigation advice.

After 3 months of review and after posting countless documents out at our own cost they dropped our case, due to legislation that did not apply to the building we are purchasing. They provided little to no context & were unresponsive.

I called regularly to request updates and no one was ever available to discuss the case on the phone. Blunt emails were all we received in return.

Very unhelpful & incapable of processing even the most basic cases. Do not use!

A representative from Blackhurst Budd Limited responded to this review on 20 January, 2025:

We do not believe this review is an accurate account of the matter in question. If you would like to discuss further with the team please contact our offices.
