Excellent from start to finish

Eleanor Firth and Alison Neary offered first class service in what was an extremely complicated and drawn out transaction. If not for their expertise I very much doubt the sale would've progressed. I would recommend their services without hesitation.

Happy BTL Customer

Very happy with Rebecca Leeks and Team at Blacks. Rebecca was responsive, clear and on top of all the issues/details. It felt very human like and there was a person (Rebecca) who I could speak to. Will happily work with them again.

Repeat Customer - Highly Recommended

I have used Blacks Solicitors LLP numerous times for property purchases and refinancing. I have also referred my own clients to Blacks Solicitors due to the fast and efficient service they provide. I have dealt with Lauren Grey at Blacks, who makes the whole process seamless with excellent communication and a fast and efficient response time. I will continue to use Blacks Solicitors whenever I can for future property sales, purchases and refinancing, etc.

Very pleased with Blacks Solicitors. This is the second time I have used them on a residential conveyancing matter and the transaction completed in a timely manner without issue. Particular credit should be extended to Conveyancer Hannah Parkinson on this occasion.

Claire Cooper has been magnificent

Claire Cooper has been nothing short of magnificent since we started working together. Claire managed to arrange my remortgage in an astonishingly swift timeframe of just two weeks after receiving the mortgage offer—an exceptional achievement that truly reflects her record time proficiency.

Her attention to detail is remarkable, and it is clear that she genuinely cares about her clients. Claire consistently goes the extra mile to ensure that every aspect of the remortgage process is handled meticulously and completed on time.

I wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone seeking assistance with their mortgage needs. Her dedication and expertise make her an invaluable asset, and I am incredibly grateful for her support! 🌟

Blacks have been outstanding to work with, and as. BTL landlord I have used many solicitors. Rebecca and Echo were proactive in chasing me and providing updates and would respond to my emails way past normal working hours, I have never experienced this quality of service when using conveyancing solicitors before. I really can’t recommend them enough. A massive thank you to Rebecca and Echo!
