We have just completed on selling our house. Tessa was our main contact, she was professional, responsive and reassuring. She kept us up to date and was always available for queries. Timely communication is very important when dealing with a house sale and we appreciate it. We will be using the firm again when we find a house to purchase .

Excellent service

Mohammed went above and beyond in helping sort a legal matter in a very limited timescale. I’m aware that he pulled all the stops out and even worked late into the evening to ensure the matter was resolved in this matter. I am grateful to him for all his hard work.

This turned out to be a very difficult lease to complete mainly due to the other parties solicitors lack of any communication and when they did acted in a very unprofessional manner Carly kept a very cool manner all through the negations and finally completed the deal.

Helen was diligent in her approach to the conveyancing for our property. She provided robust challenges on our behalf and met the tight timescales we set her at the outset. This helped us complete prior to the Stamp Duty increases.

Mohamed was incredibly rude on the phone, stating that he was wasting his time (on a 5 minute call) without even listening to the case we were presenting or answering any question. He also implied we didn't have enough money to pursue a case. Unprofessional and rude, don't contact them if you need any help.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Ella King. She was professional, efficient, and incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and clear communication made everything so much easier and stress-free. She kept me informed at every step, responded quickly to any questions I had, and always had my best interests at heart. I truly appreciate her dedication and expertise — I couldn’t have asked for better support. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and outstanding solicitor!

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.
