Great service - as always

We’ve used Carol Behan for a number of years now for our conveyancing requirements for both buying & selling properties.

In a world of “online/portal conveyancing” - nothing beats the service of an experienced, local conveyancer, who can navigate their way around the “quirks” of buying & selling properties in your area.

Carol also responds very promptly to emails & telephone calls & keeps you updated of what stage of the process you are at.

Finally - I personally like coming into the office to sign the paperwork & go through all of the information regarding the new property, although I appreciate that maybe not everyone has the time to do that & im sure other options are available.

Will writing service. Excellent

Excellent service. The will was produced using the National Free Wills network, so BMTC weren't making any money from it but that didn't make a difference to their service in any way.

No problems, no issues, smooth process. Would recommend.

About this branch

Description

Borneo Hughes Martell had been a well-known name in Northampton since the early 1970s although its history as a Bedford based law firm can be traced as far back as 1869. Since 1982 it had based its practice in offices that had formerly been the science block of Notre Dame Convent School in the town centre. The firm Turner Coulston was formed in 1993 when local solicitors Keith Turner & Ashton merged with Leo Coulston & Co and continued business from the Billing Road offices that Leo Coulston & Co had occupied for many years. In 1996, the firm acquired the legal practice of Clark & Co in Kettering and then incorporated Hodson Margetts, solicitors in Raunds in 2004. Today, the 9 partner firm of Borneo Martell Turner Coulston and its total staff of around 50 people across its offices in Northampton and Kettering offers a comprehensive legal service to both commercial and individual clients. We have a strong team of lawyers and support staff enabling us to offer our clients expert advice in a broader range of areas.
