Barnes & Partners Solicitors

Not a direct client of the firm but was on the receiving end on their awful business. To start off I'm in the process of selling my flat, to which i understand there are additional searches required but Lauren had insisted on so many searches that two other properties that had sold after mine actually exchanged before we had even got all the searches back. For example this is a new build and yet we needed to provide the highway adoption and road adoption certificate just to name a few pointless searches requested, even more confusing is the insistence that these searches are 'key' for the transaction to complete. Also, they're awfully slow to reply to searches provided and providing updates, waiting weeks for updates and for them to say they're satisfied with results, etc. This is an unbiased view - I would avoid at all costs, unless you plan to frame such pointless certificates :) (Worth noting all previous reviews are from years ago..)

They say that moving house is one of the most stressful times of your life, Lauren however made it the most stress free and easiest house move Ive ever had! Not only does she go out of her way to make you feel like youre her only client and always top of her priority list but Lauren is also so friendly and understanding to your personal needs. Working all the hours that god gives (including Sunday evenings) and going above and beyond expectations at all times. She deserves recognition by her peers and clients alike. I would definitely recommend Lauren and her team to anyone and everyone. Ive said it before and Ill say it again, thank you so much for making it a memorable experience for all the right reasons!

I have now used Barnes & Partners (Lauren) twice, for my house sell and property purchase. I can not recommend Lauren enough. She is fantastic and always ahead of everything. I trust her fully. She made things so much easier and less stressful for me as she explained everything along the way and took the stress away from me. Lauren is very efficient, professional and friendly. If you want a solicitor that you dont have to chase and is fully on the ball, look no further.

I never normally write reviews but the OUTSTANDING service I received from Lauren and Ross has blown me away and compelled me to write this. Lauren and Ross are a credit to the profession and Barnes & Partners are extremely lucky to have them as part of their team. I had a protracted and stressful situation of buying and selling due to the uncertainty in the market with Covid, but their work rate and diligence was second to none. I was always kept updated on the progress, even during evenings, weekends and whilst Lauren was abroad on holiday, I have NEVER seen dedication like this. Even though buying a house is a stressful experience I am so so glad that I have found 2 people that I whole-heartedly trust with one of the biggest decisions and investments I have made. As you can guess I have absolutely no doubt in recommending both Lauren and Ross, there just arent enough superlatives!!!
