Purchase / sale of property - Brilliant service

Minimal involvement from myself, Senior Solicitor dealt with everything smoothly and efficiently. Would strongly recommend for anyone who is thinking of selling or purchasing property.

Great convoyaging experience but was overwhelmed at the amount of paperwork and proof that I wasn't money laundering but I found it difficult online really

Happy client

Having had long and unsatisfactory dealings with another local firm of solicitors, I approached Bridge McFarland somewhat nervously.
I need not have worried - friendly and un-stuffy while remaining efficient and professional, I was favourably impressed by everyone I encountered at this firm from the time of my first telephone enquiry.
Lucy dealt quickly and competently with my business and I shall have no hesitation in returning to Bridge McFarland the next time I need legal services.

10th house purchase, best conveyancer yet - Kate Stainton, Lincoln

Kate was amazing from day one. We were hugely under pressure with the declining health of our sellers (both in their 90's) and Kate had us ready to go incredibly quickly. Efficient, communicative, thorough and highly organised. We cannot recommend her enough. We used to use Janet Wilson at Lincoln and thought she'd be a tough act to follow after her retirement and thankfully Kate proved us wrong. Very very happy clients.

Professional from start to finish.

I cannot recommend Bridge McFarland highly enough. We used them to sell a property and they were friendly, efficient, transparent and went the extra mile. Jacob Oram was fantastic who went above and beyond in what was a painful transaction dealing with a 'particular' buyer and their average legal team. Jacob was always available and offered excellent advice - the team covered very well during any absences. I will certainly use Bridge McFarland and their team again and would recommend them to anyone needing an efficient professional experience.

Kate Stainton, our Conveyancer has been absolutely incredible. I only wish down the chain had such efficiency (they are tearing their hair out with Gilson Grey who don't respond at all to anything ever). Thank you Kate. We aren't in a new home yet but you've been outstanding and we've had several house moves! Best conveyancer we have ever had.

Rude, unprofessional and determined to be so. Michelle Bradford agreed a quote with me for Bridge McFarland to deal with my acquiring a property. After a long discussion where a final quote was agreed she emailed to say she couldn't represent me because they were representing the buyer. I then got a notification about the sale saying it was a totally different solicitor representing the buyer. I asked Michelle if they could therefore honour the quote as there was no longer an impediment to do so. She didn't even have the courtesy to reply even when a colleague prompted her to in a second email. I would not recommend Bridge McFarland- what a waste of time all that was.

A representative from Bridge McFarland LLP responded to this review on 29 August, 2024:

Hello Guy, We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the service you have received. We will of course take steps to investigate this internally but if you wish to make a formal complaint, you can find details of how to do so here https://bridgemcfarland.co.uk/complaints-procedure Kind Regards Bridge McFarland LLP
