BARCAN+KIRBY LLP

Absolutely excellent experience with Sally and her assistant Betty throughout our flat purchase. Even though we weren’t first-time buyers, there were still plenty of moving parts, and they handled everything with real professionalism and calm efficiency.

Sally was consistently thorough and reassuring at every stage, making sure nothing was missed and explaining things clearly when things got a bit technical. Betty was also fantastic — always quick to respond, on top of updates, and incredibly helpful whenever we had questions.

What really stood out was how smooth the whole process felt in their hands. Communication was clear, things moved promptly, and we always felt properly looked after rather than left chasing updates (which, let’s be honest, is the horror story you hear about conveyancing).

We’re genuinely grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone going through a property purchase.

Would thoroughly recommend Sally Stainton in the residential conveyancing team. Second time we've used B&K and I've been really impressed by their professionalism and speed. Estate agent for our sellers mentioned that it was refreshing to work with a solicitor that was so proactive. Really good value for the quality of service. Thanks also to Betty and Tegenn for their work supporting Sally.

I couldn't recommend Gabrielle Artess and Betty Willshire highly enough. They made the very stressful experience of selling and buying a home as straightforward as it could be.

Betty was incredibly efficient in making sure that the admin was sorted, explaining next steps in the process and answering questions. Gabrielle was brilliant in terms of advising me, advocating on my behalf with estate agents and related solicitors and was incredibly patient (and quick!) at answering my many questions.

I'm hugely grateful for their support and have already recommended them to friends and colleagues

I recently used Emma Cox as my solicitor for a property purchase, and I was very impressed with the level of service provided throughout the process.

Emma was highly efficient from start to finish, ensuring that every stage of the transaction progressed smoothly and without unnecessary delays. Communication was always clear and timely, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel well-managed and under control. Her attention to detail and ability to keep everything moving forward gave me real confidence.

I would also like to highlight the excellent support from her assistant, Alice Lai. She was extremely helpful and handled compliance checks, including anti-money laundering procedures, in a very efficient and professional manner. Her responsiveness and organisation contributed greatly to the overall smooth experience.

Overall, I would highly recommend Emma Cox and her team to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solicitor for property transactions.

Gabrielle and Betty were excellent, both in supporting us in an aborted purchase in Bristol, then a while later in selling our property in Cambridge and buying our new one in Bristol (at
different times). When Gabrielle was on holiday she ensured that our case was supported by Emma Cox, who was equally excellent. This has been a complex process over three years for
us, with a move across the country due to a new job at the same time as supporting a dying parent. Barcan+Kirby (Gabrielle, Betty and Emma) have made the process as easy as they could, and we have felt very well supported throughout. We would certainly recommend!!
