I was recommended to Gillian Graveson by solicitor DominicThompson of D T Law in Preston, who told me that she was the best person to deal with the family legal problems I was having to face, after the passing of my late wife. Dominic was not wrong!.
I cannot begin to tell you the vast legal problems she had to encounter, in dealing with my late wife estate. My financial claim against the executors was so complicated and convoluted that it has taken 2years and 6 months to arrive at a conclusion.
During this time Gillian and her associate solicitor Ellen Woodward kept me updated, nobody could have done more than these two professionals, I cannot Thank them enough, I know they are part of a large firm of solicitors, but as far as I am concerned, they treated me very much as an individual client and not just a number.
I wholly recommend this family team at Birchall Blackburn Solicitors, Preston.

We sold our flat via auction and the conveyancing honestly couldn't have gone any smoother. Jane and Jessica (Preston office) explained everything clearly, answered all our questions and made sure the correct paperwork was in place. We completed within a month of the sale. I wish all property sales were this straightforward!

Hanna Smith and her team made extraordinary efforts to make sure that our house purchase completed in the end. I know there were very difficult circumstances with little real assistance and in some cases obstruction on the part of the vendors and their solicitors, but the team a Birchall Blackburn always dealt with it in a professional and constructive manner and we got a positive result in the end. Thanks to Hanna, Vicky and Joe for all the assistance in the sale of our previous property and the purchase of this one.

Reda and the team have helped us tremendously through the sale of our house. When we were stressed due to the mistakes from the other side's solicitor, Reda's excellent communication on a timely manner has been a great assurance and consolation along the way. We especially loved Reda's calm and professional manner on the phone, prompt reply to the email correspondence and firm attitude when facing the challenge from the other side.
Kyle has been introduced for the contract exchange and he’s been in close contact to inform us of the progress with fantastic communication too.
We highly recommend and could not recommend enough for anyone to use Reda's First Class service!

I instructed Birchall Blackburn to deal with the sale of my late aunts house. Having never been involved with selling a property before, I was lucky to have dealt with Liz, who made the process relatively easy for me by answering all my questions, giving me advice and promptly dealing with the numerous pieces of documentation required.

I had wanted to purchase the freehold to my property for sometime and was somewhat nervous to do so. However I found both Ahmed Patel, Trainee Solicitor and Jennifer Gadsdon, the accredited ALEP Solicitor to be both knowledgeable and professional. I asked a lot of questions to help me understand the process, though the legal side of things, the legal jargon and how legal documents are actually written still leaves me at a loss and that’s predominantly why I appointed BBL to liaise over the purchase of the freehold. The whole process took about eight months which was longer than I thought it would take, however with being in the middle of a Covid pandemic I imagine communication and liaison took longer than normal (ie can’t visit the office) and it was important to me that the work was done properly and thoroughly.

He is courteous, polite, calm, efficient and helpful when issues arise, in explaining what is necessary and the best way to move forward. He also kept me up to date on progress. It has been a pleasure to have him as my conveyancing solicitor and I would have no hesitation about recommending him to others.

Recently used Birchall Blackburn to guide my wife through a catastrophic injury claim. The lead solicitor involved, Robert Jones, was professional, thorough and diligent throughout. He was also sensitive to the emotional toll the whole process involves, and made sure my wife was not under any undue distress going through the details. No stone was left unturned in piecing together the evidence. Would highly recommend this company.

By the end, there was a huge rush to complete at very short notice (4 working days!) and Sharon pulled out all the stops for me so we were able to do this.

Birchall Blackburn have been fantastic from start to finish, from the simple things like calling me to introduce themselves, and being able to upload passport documents to their online portal rather than sending them off (something I was dreading doing in case they got lost). Our contact changed from Muhammad to Joe and Joe has been so good, answers emails straight away, and was really helpful in advising me on how to transfer funds quickly. He never ignored me when I emailed him, was always on the other end of the phone if I called, and never belittled me if I asked a stupid question.

Our experience with Birchall Blackburn Law for conveyancing, was absolutely faultless.

Saadia was absolutely brilliant - friendly, professional, and really efficient! Whilst our house-buying felt quite stressful at times due to delays in the onward chain, Saadia was calm and helpful throughout. She was really proactive in chasing up the sale, and we always felt like she had our back and we could trust her! She explained things go us really well, and kept us in the loop constantly. As first-time buyers, we had heard lots of negative stories of our friends' experiences of solicitors but ours couldn't have been a more positive experience, and that is thanks to Saadia.

I recently used the Preston branch for conveyancing related to the purchase of my new house. Despite the constant problems/delays caused by the sellers' solicitors (which probably also created a lot of additional unnecessary work for BBL), the team worked extremely hard to ensure that completion took place. Due to the issues mentioned above, this has been by far the most stressful of the five property purchases in my lifetime, but none of this is the fault of BBL. Thank you so much to Amanda and her team, who provided exemplary service throughout the conveyancing process. I am hoping to never have to move house again, but if I do need legal advice in the future, I will certainly use BBL again.

We used the services provided by Birchall Blackburn Law for the sale of our house and the very difficult purchase of our now forever home. We would highly recommend Birchall Blackburn Law and especially Sherilyn Jones who dealt with both matters with a high level of professionalism and with the support of Leah and Jessica the customer service and support was second to none. Many thanks and kind regards.

Charley remembered details about my case, and endeavoured to deal with everything as swiftly as possible. When he wasn’t in, he instructed his colleague to do the work in his absence. Very good service

Sharon Parker was extremely efficient in dealing with queries in what was a particularly difficult purchase. There were many suggestions made by Sharon that I had to communicate to the seller. These suggestions should have been made by the sellers solicitor who seemed to be more obstructive than a help in the process. I believe if it wasn’t for Sharon professionalism and knowledge the transaction would not have completed.

My case has been long and challenging to say the least. Sally has been an invaluable support both professionally and emotionally. I have found her approach refreshing, whilst remaining professional she managed my expectations sympathetically to ensure we achieved the best possible outcome.
I feel she is an asset to the company and will and have recommended the company.

The service I got from Tony Coates and his team was excellent. I found Tony really easy to talk to, he explained every step of the way in a way that was clear & easy to understand. The whole experience was a pleasant one, emails were always answered promptly and professionally.
I think I was first in touch with Tony early to mid Feb and we completed the sale of my business on 4th April 17. From one very happy client!

Just a short note to thank you and your team for achieving the almost impossible – turning around a detailed commercial lease in less than 10 days from start to finish! It was really important for us to complete on the lease by our extremely tight dead line so that we could move into our new offices before the end of the month. You took on the challenge and worked extremely effectively and professionally to ensure you achieved this for us.
Over the years I have engaged some of the largest law firms in the world both in the UK and internationally and the service you provided on this transaction ranks up there with the best of them. All our future commercial property work will be coming your way!

I’ve heard lots of horror stories about solicitors and moving, even witness some through friends and family. As you might be able to understand I was quite worried about this process as this was my first time going through it myself.
Now I’m on the other side I can’t tell you how impressed I am with your professionalism and patience. These last 6 months have been quite tough.
My Partner (not on the mortgage) had been made redundant twice in the last 14 weeks.
I’ve lost a grandad to cancer and a friend to a hit and run.
You and Lloyds bank however have made buying a house extremely easy and stress free.
Thank you.

Just like to thank Jade for all the work she did on helping and advising throughout my whole process of buying my house. Doing this alone was a scary thing, however I knew that if I needed any advice (no matter how silly it was), I could ask Jade. She always answered my emails straight away and I couldn’t ask for a more smooth transaction. Top Marks, very impressed!

I can only speak for the Morecambe office, but I can honestly say they have been 1st class all the way. My conveyancer was Vicki Humpage..very friendly, and easy to get hold of, returned my calls and emails asap, I really cannot fault the service I have received. I sold a house with them, and when I find my next property I will be instructing them for the purchase! A well deserved 5 stars.

I can only vouch for the Southport branch who I have to say were excellent. Ideally, it would be better to have somebody local where you can pop in with any queries but they were nearly double the price I paid Birchalls, any problems though, you ring or email and somebody will get straight back to you. There was a small problem with my sale and Birchalls were more than a match for the opposite solicitors and actually saved me money, so yes, I would definitely use again

I have no hesitation about recommending this firm based on our experience. We had a superb solicitor who helped to save the deal on the property, when I had lost hope, due to the ineptitude of others down the chain. She was always professional and answered all our queries and concerns promptly. She had to deal with others who were less than professional in their business dealings and managed to chivvy them into action when all others had failed. I have no doubt that I would not be in the home I had set my heart on, if it had not been for the diligence and hard work of our solicitor.

Used Birchall Blackburn firm to purchase house in September 2012. Lisa Golland from their Manchester office was very very efficient and dealt with the whole thing in four weeks. I was charged £610 including searches compared with £835 I was quoted from a local solicitor in the North East. Most matters were dealt with via e mail and a few telephone calls. Two lots of paperwork to sign were sent through the post.
