House sale & Purchase

Nicola was always very prompt in replying and very clear in how she explained everything. The guidance we were given from Nicola was always backed up as to way these were recommendations. We felt the fees were fair & reasonable and overall our whole experience was a positive one. We highly recommend using Barker Gotelee if you are buying or selling a home, or both like we were. Nicola made what can be a stressful process, as least stressful as possible.

I would highly recommend

I cannot recommend Lindsey and Nicola highly enough. Throughout a difficult and often painful process they made everything so much easier to navigate. Their professionalism, understanding, and unwavering support were invaluable and they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into something much more manageable, and for that, I am deeply grateful.

Amendment of my will. Arranging Lasting Power of Attorney

I found it straightforward to make an appointment. There was a friendly, relaxed atmosphere which was reassuring. My solicitor was professional and knowledgeable. I was given plenty of time to ask questions and has clear answers. The legal service was concluded in good time at the cost first stated. I would certainly recommend Barker Gotelee to others.

The human face of conveyancing

Over and above the efficient, knowledgeable and practical approach displayed by Laura my solicitor. It was the very genuine interest and support given by Laura's PA Hayley that made a stressful undertaking more bearable. Her patience in explaining things, regular communication and simply understanding how complex and testing a first time purchase can be, made all the difference. Thank you Hayley.

I went to Barker Gotelee Solicitors to do my Power of attorney. The solicitor that dealt with it was very efficient. There's plenty of parking and the offices are on the ground floor. I can recommend them.

I have only spoken briefly to a member of their conveyancing team on a slight legal matter via a telephone call. But the service and advice I was given was very professional and put my mind at ease.

Extremely impressed with the alacrity of Luke and the team at Barker Gotelee. Extremely thorough in a very short space of time. They had to step in at last minute in our chain and they saved the day. Many thanks.

A great company who like true chess players, helped me outclass, outfight and outmaneuver my siblings during a highly contentious probate process, something that my siblings further escalated by making totally false accusations against me and further complicating the issue by trying to take me to court. it was a pleasure seeing my sister finally get her comeuppance; being put in a humiliating position; pulling out of the false legal action against me; and subsequently being forced to pay my legal fees in the end.

I would therefore definitely recommend Barker Gotelee solicitors. I would like to thank and recommend Nick Palmer for his impeccable patience, stoicism and virtue during what was a very stressful time for me and the friendly staff who helped me through what was a difficult time, but I managed to get through.
