Birchall Blackburn Law Reviews 1.285

I would really like to thank Jessica Watkinson and her team for their excellent service in preparing my will. Jessica carefully led me through the process and cheerfully took into account my concerns about clarity. She guided me through making several changes which better represented my wishes and and I am extremely happy with the result.

Like quite a few others have said, this firm or at least the team I was given are very poor.

Communication - next to none
Price - extortionate
Speed - 0

We are unfortunately still in the process of purchasing a home using this firm, no chain either side and we are now over 14 weeks. Funny thing is, if they were a professional firm then they would want to be paid quickly so therefore do the work quickly, clearly not the case with these guys.
Asking for extra ID checks when they have all be done and cleared 2 months before, asking for bank statements again even after providing these on 3 seperate occasions.
Communication is laughable.
Halifax recommended this firm and it was not the cheapest but had high scores, I have since told Halifax to take this firm off as quickly as they can before they really damage Halifax’s brand reputation.
I would be very happy to talk to a team member after this review but I would guess they will be ignored too.

Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!

I cannot thank Ellen Woodward enough for the support and guidance she has been providing during my stressful separation.
From our first meeting, she has made me feel heard and understood, explaining the legal process in a way that was easy to follow. Her knowledge and attention to detail gives me confidence throughout the process.
Ellen always keeps me informed at every step and I never have to wait for a reply or a call which I really appreciate.

I feel supported throughout, and Ellen's advice helps me make confident decisions. I would highly recommend Ellen to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate family law solicitor.

Gave the buyers the impression that I had pulled out of the sale of my property when I hadn't. By the time I found out, it was too late, and the sale fell through. I wouldn't recommend them. There was also information given to them that wasn't added to my file, which caused serious issues when it came to exchange. All under the guise of protecting me which was incorrect.

Amazing service from Jade. Thankyou so so much! She delt with both the sale of our house and the purchase of our new property. She was with us every step of the way and always got back to us whenever we had any questions or queries. Our new property was a repossession so this made things even more complicated; she was knowledgeable and kept us on track despite many complications along the way. Jades hard work made this all possible and we are very grateful ☺️

We recently worked with Farhana and her team, and I can honestly say the experience was excellent from start to finish.

Our situation was quite complex and challenging, but Farhana handled everything with great professionalism, patience, and care. She was always supportive, responsive, and took the time to guide us through each step of the process, which made a huge difference for us.

Our case was not straightforward at all, yet she managed it efficiently and gave us confidence throughout. Without her and her team, it would not have been possible for us to complete the purchase of our home.

I am truly grateful for all the support we received and would highly recommend Farhana to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.

Thank you again for everything::

A great experience overall. Would recommend.

Maryam was excellent, diligent with her enquiries and was super flexible with my constant travel and time zone changes.
Previous experience with solicitors has been awful so Maryam’s approach was a breath of fresh air!

Really good experience, who knew selling houses could be so straightforward.

Outstanding experience, kind and friendly!
Highly recommended

Selling my late Mum's house was very difficult for me, it was a long journey, emotional, stressful and, at times, almost unbearable. I was very grateful to the staff at Birchall Blackburn and in particular Shakira and Anna for their understanding and support throughout. I felt that they understood me and did all they could to help. They often phoned me instead of emailing and I found that personal connection really invaluable. Thanks to BB for making a very difficult time manageable.

Natalie Earley has been amazing throughout and am so pleased that we chose Birchall Blackburn
Law. Our buyer's solicitors were poor by comparison and I also see how poor the legal profession can
be within my work in the mortgage industry, with unresponsive and reactive solicitors. Thanks for
doing an amazing job

I had an excellent experience with Birchall Blackburn Law when selling my property. The service was professional, efficient, and well organised throughout.
A special mention to Dilpreet Mathauda, who was fantastic from start to finish. Dilpreet was knowledgeable, responsive, and kept me fully informed at every stage, making the whole process smooth and stress‑free.
I would highly recommend Birchall Blackburn Law and Dilpreet Mathauda to anyone selling a property.

Well thought out legal advise and effective

Just completed a purchase for my first house with Maryam and Nick. The whole process was simple, easy and smooth. Everything was completed within 2 months and received keys. Very straight forward and extremely professional. Great to work with and definitely recommend. Professional and experienced team.

We were buying our home (chain free) from our landlord.
the mortgage was in place in October 25 it took 6 months waiting on them before we could complete.
They had been recommended by the halifax as one of the 3 they use we have since recommended to halifax to not recommend this company any more.
communication from them was dire.
information you give them is ignored i lost count on the number of times we had to tell them we are not in a chain.
for them to do anything takes them a month of sundays.
Not a company i could or would recommend.

The service was excellent and communication was 100%. I was always kept in the loop on what was happening with the purchase of my home. I would recommend this service and company to anyone. Never have I met and spoke to such nice people.

Excellent, Kept informed throughout the process, helpful and knowledgeable and professional, would highly recommend.

I definitely recommend Birchall Blackburn Law - I received very thorough, helpful advice from Esther Thompson which enabled me to resolve (swiftly) a dispute with a lettings agency. Extremely supportive service. Thank you!
