After a slowish start Paul Chaloner pulled out all the stops to provide a first class service in helping to sell our property. On more than one occasion he managed to put life back into an increasingly moribund deal and coped brilliantly with buyers’ solicitors who were shamefully inept by comparison. I would happily recommend his and his assistant, Alison’s, services to anyone.

He has made sure that I get guidance with my litigation issue, and dealing with him was very professional, and friendly as well.
I highly recommend Barwells Solicitors.

I received a letter from Paul Chaloner. The letter was extremely threatening. Paul Chaloner was acting for a client (a debt recovery agent I am suing). Paul Chaloner told me that my claim would automatically FAIL if I proceeded, he was citing Privity of Contract, but what Paul Chaloner was failing to mention is that this was reformed in 1999 by the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Paul Chaloner knows full well that I have a valid claim and using receipt, tried the 'threaten me' from bringing a civil claim. He them went on to make allegations that I threatened to defame his client (the bailiffs), what I had said is that I would make public my honest experiences with the bailif. This is not defamation, but Paul thinks that because he is a Solicitor, he can bully and abuse his position, well, I have reported him to the the SRA for his intention receipt, and, using my rights of Freedom of Speech to publish what he has done and my honest held opinions. do not trust him, a solicitor who is prepared to lie is not a solicitor you can trust (in my opinion).

I am very grateful for all the hard work Sally Chaloner and her assistants have done over the past year to enable me to have sold my bungalow in Peacehaven and moved into my new flat in Leicester. She was constantly approachable and supportive throughout what proved to be a very prolonged period compounded by the challenges of the Covid pandemic, and dealt with all the eccentricities of the previous owner and the managing agents with patience and efficiency . Thanks Sally!

Despite a very challenging purchase given Covid-19, Sally kept me informed at all times and was always on hand to answer any of my questions and queries; which as a first time buyer was very reassuring. At all times I felt that Sally had my best interests at heart and really went that extra mile with my purchase. I can't highly recommend Sally and Barwells enough and look forward to doing business again in the future.

How nice it is to have a solicitor who treats you as a person not just another client. I found Sally to be very approachable and when she was not available or on holiday her colleagues were eager to assist. Sally recognises and values the fact that people are different and treats everyone as individuals explaining matters in a language that is understandable to the listener. Sally clearly shows that she knows her job and found all the information that was required to complete my sale. Sally also likes to take a lead, when it comes to exchange of contracts she will push the dates around for agreement while others in the chain appear to take a back seat and let Sally do the sorting out. I'm sure if it were not for Sally the completion would have taken a lot longer. If I ever move again I know I will be using Sally Chaloner of Barwells Newhaven. A massive thumbs up to Sally and her team.
