Support from Jack Parkinson Solicitor

Jack Parkinson has supported me with 2 house sales and purchases. He has always been extremely professional, ready to answer any questions, he is very knowledgeable and reliable. I have always felt very assured that Jack will do his best to support me in his professional capacity.

Highly recommend

Black Solicitors is excellent and by far the best solicitors firm for conveyancing I have ever instructed. I recommend Blacks and in particular Jack Parkinson to everybody I possibly can when selling or purchasing a house. The transaction is seamless and I had no query or concern that Jack hadn't already first considered and acted upon. Cannot Thank Jack and the team enough. Highly Highly recommend!

Excellent Service

We recently worked with Hannah Parkinson from Blacks Solicitors on our latest buy-to-let mortgage, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. The service we received was nothing short of excellent from start to finish.

Hannah and her team were incredibly efficient, keeping everything on track and ensuring the entire process ran smoothly. What stood out the most was their attention to detail and how proactive they were — nothing was ever too much trouble.

Communication was clear, timely, and professional throughout. Every step was explained in a straightforward manner, making what can often be a stressful process feel completely manageable.

If you’re looking for a solicitor who delivers exceptional service with efficiency and professionalism, I wholeheartedly recommend Hannah Parkinson at Blacks Solicitors. We’ll definitely be returning for future property matters!

Thank you, Hannah, for making the process seamless and stress-free!

Lauren Grey

We have been using Backs Solicitors for few years now and our case handlers have changed but recently on our purchases and remortgages we had Lauren Grey as our case handler. Lauren has been very helpful and always prompt when it came to communication regarding our cases. Even when the cases have been complicated Lauren has done her best in order to resolve any issues. We highly recommend Lauren Grey

Fantastic, efficient, and friendly

We had a brilliant experience as first time buyers with lots of questions about the process. Just nine weeks from offer accepted to completion. Sam our solicitor was fantastic, we never had to chase for anything she was extremely responsive, with excellent and speedy cover from her colleague also while Sam was on holiday. Would highly recommend.

Blacks Solicitors were very helpful in assisting me in selling my late sister’s bungalow. Having little experience in selling a property I was grateful to Amy Palfreeman who helped explain some on the contract details I was unfamiliar with in a friendly and professional manner.The sale went through smoothly.

I have been dealing with Caithlin for a remortgage.

It has been the best experience I have had to date with dealing with any solicitors.

Caithlin replied to every email or phone call straight away and I was kept updated with everything that was going on in the back ground.

I have now found my go to solicitors.

My experience with Blacks Solicitors has been incredibly upsetting and I feel completely let down.

I’ve been left with unexpected and unexplained charges that were never agreed upon, vague explanations about the work done and a complete lack of transparency. I was told that any additional work would be discussed with me beforehand, but that didn’t happen. Instead, I found out after the fact and have been charged for things I didn’t approve or request.

To make matters worse, the meetings were so poorly organised that I had to send several emails just to confirm basic arrangements. At one point, a trainee was sent to a call without my knowledge or approval, and I was charged for their time. This left me feeling completely disrespected as a client.

I’ve raised these issues with the firm and lodged a formal complaint, but the responses I’ve received so far have been dismissive and lacking any real accountability. The whole experience has been draining, stressful, and honestly, it feels like I’m being scammed.

Avoid avoid if you require billing transparency!
