Excellent service - thoroughly recommend

My wife and I used Blacks solicitors while remortgaging one of our Buy-To-Let properties. From the day our case was managed by Liz Taylor it was first class from start to completion. I've dealt with a lot of solicitors but I often find the reason you would use the same one is because of its people and I would use Blacks Solicitors again because of the excellent service we received from Liz. Liz was incredibly responsive. Not one email or call was left not responded to. We had to deal with a lot of tight deadlines but they were a lot smoother because of Liz. She was calm and thoroughly professional at all times. There were times when she was out of office but her colleagues always dealt with our queries in a timely manner. Thank you, Liz. Sometimes we are left with bad experiences despite a completion meeting it's deadline but not only did we meet completion but we also had a fabulous service from you. Should we require your services again we shall be asking for Liz to manage our case. Thank you.

Amazing experience from start to finish!

My husband and I cannot express enough how grateful we are at using Anne and Samantha for our recent house sale and purchase. They have provided communication throughout and talked things through with us in a way which we understand. We would highly recommend using them again - 5 star service. Thank you both so much!

Clare has been brilliant every time I've worked with her

I have had the pleasure of working with Clare as my solicitor on multiple occasions. She has expertly managed both the buying and selling of a leasehold property, as well as the purchase of a freehold property for me. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family without hesitation. The entire team at Blacks Solicitors has been a joy to work with, and I am looking forward to collaborating with them again in the future. Thank you, Clare, for all your hard work and dedication over the past 18 months! Your efforts have been greatly appreciated.

5 star service throughout

5 star service throughout. Rebecca Leeks was excellent, very professional and friendly from start to finish. Always easy to reach out to by phone and response to emails in minutes most of the time providing real-time updates.
During my years of buying and selling properties, I have never recieved a service close to this. Top notch !
Also, fees was very competitive, one of the cheap quote I got.
I will definitely be using them again.
Thanks Rebecca!

Good and professional

I give this service a perfect 5-star review. Victoria was professional and always responded in a timely manner—no nonsense, just straightforward communication. She was consistently on top of my case and always reachable, which made for quick responses. The only downside for me was the holding music when I called, but thankfully I didn't have to listen to it for long since they answered my calls promptly. I will definitely use their services again in the future.

Excellence Speed and efficiency

I wanted to try a law firm away from my usual London bubble.
The organisation and flow of documents were seriously what I would have expected but had never received in the past.
All documents were sent to me at once ( not piecemeal) and each document was thoroughly explained.
The process made it easier for me to review and sign.
The legal team handling my case were professional and warm in their approach
I will most certainly use Blacks Solicitors for future projects.
Thank you Rebecca and Echo🙏🏿

I sought guidance regarding a family matter, and Josie Kirk reached out to offer her expertise. All I can say is that she was truly a breath of fresh air. Josie demonstrated a deep understanding of my frustrations, providing clear, decisive advice while also being empathetic to the emotional challenges I was facing. After dealing with this issue for 18 months and receiving advice from another firm, I realized I had made the mistake of placing my trust in the wrong hands. My only regret is not contacting Blacks in the first place. Moving forward, Blacks will be my go-to firm for any legal advice I require.

Clare has been my solicitor multiple times now, handling both the buying and selling of a leasehold and the purchase of a freehold. I would thoroughly recommend her to my friends and family. The whole team at Blacks Solicitors have been a delight to work with, and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you, Clare, for all your hard work over the past 18 months!

We were recommended Blacks by our mortgage advisor and we are so glad we chose them to help us with our purchase- the service we received was excellent and the whole transaction was completed smoothly! Nothing was too much to ask of Rebecca and we are so happy with our service from her and Echo at Blacks!

Trust Blacks Leeds at your peril!! Totally not trust worthy in my own experience. Left items with them that went missing. DO not trust with your personal items where wills are concerned!
