Bottrills have acted for me on three separate house transactions and most recently a home purchase, which is a testament to how highly I regard and trust the standard of the service that Bottrills have provided to me. This purchase was a time pressured transaction with the vendor looking to move quickly. Bottrills were very pro-active and sent off instructions to the vendor's solicitors the very same day that they were instructed on this transaction and also promptly conducted the home searches. Bottrills also set out very clearly what documentation I must complete and when and provided a very clear schedule of the costs I would incur.

There were numerous documents to review for the sale, included a long and complex lease, searches and surveys that raised various concerns. Bottrills reviewed all of the documentation with great scrutiny and raised very detailed queries with the vendor's solicitors to ensure any issues could be resolved. Bottrills, importantly, explained what the key issues and risks of the purchase were, in a manner that I could easily understand and explained what it would mean for me in practical terms (including my rights and responsibilities under the lease for the property, and as a joint freeholder of the building) so ultimately, I could reach a decision on whether to continue with the purchase. Bottrills encouraged me to undertake the necessary surveys for the house, which helpfully revealed what repairs the house would require. Bottrills also helpfully pointed out which areas of the survey would require further scrutiny with the vendors.

Towards the end of the transaction, I was faced with pressure to exchange, despite a very important outstanding matter on purchasing a share of the freehold for the building. However, Bottrills really helped to reduce the stress of this by going the extra mile to find a solution with the vendor's solicitors, even contacting third parties to ensure the issue of the freehold could be resolved and negotiating an amendment to the contract to enable exchange to take place on time.

Buying a home can be a difficult and stressful time, however Bottrills ensured the process was as seamless as possible. They were always responsive to my queries and those of the estate agent and vendor's solicitors with the utmost professionalism and care (they even took calls from me outside working hours to discuss matters that were worrying me). Importantly, Bottrills were persistent in ensuring that all queries raised in relation to the transaction were answered and resolved, personally taking great care to look after my interests in the purchase so that I could make an informed decision about continuing with the purchase considering all factors important factors.

I am very grateful to Botrills for the great care, speed and professional manner in which they handled my house purchase, I would highly recommend this Firm to others and will definitely use Bottrills for my next sale or purchase!

We used Bottrills for our most recent house sale and purchase. They were brilliant. The communication from Michelle and the team was consistent and clear and above all they were continually helpful, fielding our many and persistent queries and remaining professional throughout the process. I would (and have) recommend Bottrills highly and to anyone who is looking for an excellent conveyancing service.

My husband an i used Bottrills as they were highly recommended to us. The service given was excellent. As we were 1st time buyers Ruth and Michelle made the whole process effortless and were always on hand to answer a question. There prices were slightly more than a quote i had received from another solicitor but i must say it was well worth the extra cost. They are very professional and will use them again if i need to.
