Rebecca Skeet and Echo Stead helped with a remortgage for my business. Superbly organised, professional, super quick in their responses and turn around time. They are superb.

Excellent services

I highly recommend Blacks Solicitors, especially Lauren Grey and her assistant Sam Jalali, for their outstanding work in handling my recent property purchase. They were efficient, professional, and incredibly responsive, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, were thorough and kept me updated at every stage, ensuring all legalities were completed promptly and accurately. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality service truly exceeded my expectations.

Fantastic service at a very competitive price

Fantastic service at a very competitive price. Samantha is super efficient responding extremely promptly to emails. My purchase was a time sensitive 28 days auction purchase for a limited company and at no time was I concerned that we would not make the set completion date. Blacks solicitors are on the panel for my lender Precise Mortgages and I will now stick with them for any future purchases as I have previously had very mixed experiences of solicitors. Sam has even done my expedite for me rather than just passing on the tracking number for me to do myself and it has already been approved by land registry so all set for the remortgage once the refurb is complete.

Wouldn't use anybody else

Never worked with a more determined, hardworking, and caring solicitor as Claire Cooper at Blacks she does everything she can to get my conveyancing over the line (even in the ridiculous timeframes I often require deals doing in) I would not use anybody else and highly recommend her especially and Blacks Solicitors

Remortgage

Although they were quick to answer the phone when I phoned, their communication with myself was quite poor, only emails.
I have remortgaged lots of properties before and my solicitor has always had very good communication with myself. They sent emails of paperwork with very little information advising me what it was for. Information was required at the last minute that should of been chased up earlier.
I personally found the process very confusing.

Blacks LLP are the only solicitors I will use because I trust them. For most of us when it comes to the matter of law we don't have a clue and guessing is not an option. I met Euan Lawrence years ago and the trust was instant a great man that cares about people, someone I know I can trust.
On this occasion I was looked after by Paul Kelly. I had a very tight deadline of a few days and Paul was efficient and professional at every step, another gentleman I know I can trust.
Having Euan and Paul shows Blacks LLP have built a business around people you can trust and I would recommend Euan, Paul, and Blacks LLP to anyone needing advice with legal matters.

Lauren, Sam and team have acted on my behalf for several mortgages and remortgages of BTL properties over the last 18 month's. They have been very efficient in all my dealings I have had with them especially the most recent 2 remortgages which were on a very tight deadline to pay off the bridging finance. They are easy to contact via phone and respond promptly to my emails. They aren’t local to me, I had to use them out of necessity as they were on the lenders panel of solicitors you have to use, but after using them I would use them again for future conveyancing out of choice.
