Quick turnaround

I've engaged with Mohammed at BMTC on several occasions now and have always been impressed with his knowledge and professional approach to the task in hand. My most recent engagement was no exception. I required and very quick turn around to sell a commercial property and Mohammed was able to get from start to finish in just over a week. Thank you again for all your hard work and I would highly recommend your services to anyone

Mohammed worked into unsociable hours to get this task done. He sent me reminders when things were getting to slow and it was clear to see wanted to get over the finish line. He kept me on my toes and provide great advise and guidance along the way.

Transfer of parcel of land

Jordan has been professional throughout this process - promptly keeping in touch throughout. This is the second time of working with Jordan at Borneo Martell Turner Coulston LLP - once with this transfer of a parcel of land and previously with selling a property with an awkward boundary to sort out.
Would definitely use again.

Commercial property

Well what can I say, i’v had two dealings with Mr Rahman. One being a purchase of a commercial property and the second being a lease transfer.
Both times Mr Rahman was very professional and knowledgeable in what I needed to have done. He was always available even for the littlest questions that arise at times where you’re not soo sure with, always had excellent communication with myself from start to end. I would highly recommend this firm in particular Mr Rahman as iv had all my dealings through him. Thank you once again for everything and for your sincere determination into getting these both situations sorted for me asap.

Mohammed was relentlessly efficient and took a sale from heads of terms to completion in just over a week. This took precision and proactiveness to another level. I have nothing but good things to say about Mohammed. I would be happy to recommend for future transactions.

Sale and purchase of my property

Mohammed is the best solicitor. He answered any questions I had and always gave good advice. He was very thorough with the checks on my new property and pointed out every detail I should be aware of on the searches, mortgage etc that I never would have p noticed. He also answered my emails pretty much any time of the day as he never seems to stop working!! It is nice to find a solicitor that you can have direct contact with if you have any questions. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent service

My experience with Shannon was faultless from start to finish. I found Shannon carpenter to be efficient direct and informative throughout my instruction . Always cheery confident and polite on the telephone and always greeted with a smile in person at the office. My experience was made less stressful knowing Shannon had my best interest at heart and I can’t thank her enough. I would highly recommend Shannon to anybody requesting legal help etc and will always use her as my solicitor for further matters.

Used a wonderful lady called Carly Arthur, really down to earth, knowledgable and switched on. Easy to park and in a nice part of Northampton. Lady behind reception is chatty, nice to look at and talk to. On the whole the experience was very nice and I came away with a warm feeling inside, knowing that things will get actioned.

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.
