SIPP Lease

I don’t normally leave reviews.

I would like to thank you for your detailed work, professionalism and patience in preparing the lease.
I sensed your frustration with dealing with the SIPP, as I too found them most unhelpful. You persevered and got the matter concluded.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you.

License agreements for new R&D business facilities - London UK

I recently got in touch with Mohammed Rahman of BMTC LLP to support with some new R&D facilities I am exploring for research I do for the NHS, Academia and industry.
Mohammed was engaging from the start and swiftly gathered all the information I required and explained these in lay-terms. I felt confident in progressing my applications with his support.
A very professional and accommodating Solicitor and law firm. I look forward to working with Mohammed again.

If Carlsberg made solicitors

Mohammed worked really hard and fast to try to get our purchase over the line. Unfortunately the Seller had unrealistic and unreasonable expectations and we had no choice but to walk away. BMTC were really helpful and patient with us. And we hope they carry out the same level of work when we get our next deal sorted. Thank you Mohammed 5*

Company Mortgage Advice

I was pushed by the mortgage broker to use a solicitor of their choice. It was not explained that I would need a separate Solicitor for a Personal Guarantee. I was told this very last minute by the solicitor acting for me with no explanation.
I was recommended Mohammed by a friend and he was so helpful. He explained in clear English why i needed a separate Solicitor and what it all meant.
I am so grateful for the way he dealt with it and the way he explained everything so clearly.

Amazing from start to finish!!

Where do I start with this review. I recently started a purchase for a property and used Mohammed from recommendation. He was an outstanding attorney! Went above and beyond with all my requests things that I didn’t even have the knowledge of Mohammed bought to my attention. If you are looking for an outstanding legal representative I would say use Mohammed. The speedy process was outstanding even the third party also mentioned how good and quick Mohammed was with everything. Thank you so much.

Independent Legal Advise

I was required to seek Legal Advise by my mortgage lender around a transfer of equity. I reached out to BMTC Law who were happy to help and supply the service I required. Annabel was very helpful and pleasant to deal with and managed to turn this around for me in the time scale required. I was very happy with there service and would definitely reach out to them again if needed.

End result was great, the journey there was slow and rather unpleasant

The red tape that comes with the job is so incredibly annoying and I have no idea if it's BMTC being pedantic (needing to prove ID despite being an ongoing customer being one thing) or maybe it's the new way of doing things but it did seem that many of the hoops we had to jump through were a little above and beyond.
Annabel and her team did get the result we needed and within the budget originally suggested so we are pleased with that.

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

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.
