Great service from Joanne. Helpful, knowledgeable, and tenacious.

Highly recommend

We have been clients of Burnett Barker for several years. They are a young solicitors, very professional and knowledgeable, patient and kind. Bent over backwards as we were unable to go into the office. They were happy to Zoom call. Very understanding of our circumstances. Not stuffy.

Very happy first time home owner

I was very happy with the services provided by Katy and Dawn at Burnett Barker Solicitors. This was my first property purchase and having recently re-located from South Africa, the laws and procedures were very different. However, there was frequent communication and all my questions were addressed very quickly. I can confidently say my interests were protected and the services were excellent.

As an estate agent I deal with a lot of solicitors on a daily basis but I have to say Miranda Mortlock has been exceptional on the file of Hubbards Chase, she has always been available to speak to on the phone, gone the extra mile on numerous occasions for our seller by hand delivering paper work to her and being an all round lovely person to deal with. Miranda is a credit to Burnett Barker Solicitors and I hope our paths cross on more files in the future.

Thanks for everything Miranda.
