BRM Solicitors

"Professional, efficient, polite and friendly We dealt with Katie on our sale and purchase and we had a very prolonged journey to exchange of contracts, due to very inefficient and unresponsive lawyers for our buyers. Katie was excellent, seemingly always calm, and quick to reply to my emails or phone messages. She had to do an awful lot of chasing round, mostly failing to get any response for her hard work and the whole procedure must have been very frustrating and trying for her but this never ever came through to me. I have used BRM before and would most definitely recommend them."

"Made my will here.they are very helpful and I did it in the free month with a donation to the charity they chose."

"Highly recommend. Used them to help us buy our first house. Always efficient in answering our questions and helping us though the process. They also were noticeable the more efficient and communicative solicitors in the process"

"If there was a zero rating, I'd award that without hesitation. Originally had some very helpful free advice from one individual at this company, so decided to go with them for my house sale. Contacted them to enquire regarding the process and was told in no uncertain terms, after being given the third degree as to why I was choosing a solicitors based 200 miles away to sell my home, to get back in touch when I had a buyer and not before. (Many solicitors will speed up the process by getting the formalities out the way in advance but not BRM). Find a buyer a week later, gave BRM's details to the agency, and BRM sent out a dozen forms for me to complete - would have been helpful if they'd contacted me to ask where to send them as not at the sale property for 2 weeks, but there they were waiting for me on my return. I rang them up to enquire about the identification documents as I as uncomfortable posting my passport and most places accept photographs. Again I was given the third degree on why I was choosing them, and finally told that I'd have to visit them IN PERSON, before they would do business with me. The only alternative they offered was to visit a local solicitor in person and pay them to certify my identify on their behalf.. They lied to me about the reasons for this. I mentioned this to my estate agent who said in 10 years they'd never heard anything like this occurring - indeed many conveyancers operate nationally without personal contact with their clients. They also (in the previous phone-call) gave me faulty legal advice regarding planning permission for a shed, which they believed was not required, despite me pointing out that the property was a flat. So if you want knowledgeable, competent, polite solicitors, I suggest you look elsewhere."

"High recommend James in real estate! Really efficient and easy to work with, I would definitely use them again. Thanks James and BRM!"
