What our clients say about our Residential Property Service

Matthew was our Lawyer during the process of purchasing a new property. He was extremely accommodating and supportive throughout the process, answering all of our enquiries and guiding us through the process.

Big thanks to Ella Holland for dealing with my case, making it easy from start to end. It was completed before Christmas as I wanted. I have had Butcher & Barlow deal with my cases in the past. They never let me down and the staff are lovely too. I would recommend them to friends and family and would use them in the future again.

Brilliant experience with Casey Ashton at Butcher & Barlow when buying a house. Kept me updated throughout, clearly explained what paperwork was required. Took time to explain and reassured when I asked for clarification. Made herself available and was quick and efficient. Highly recommend. Thank you so much.

Excellent service throughout. Ella was so very easy to deal with and helped smooth out a few bumps in the road. Well done and thank you.

I have just completed the sale of my late father’s house. The service and support from Butcher & Barlow was excellent. In particular Ella Woodier was outstanding, she was professional, kept me informed and always acted promptly and efficiently.

Matthew was our Lawyer during the process of purchasing a new property. He was extremely accommodating and supportive throughout the process, answering all of our enquiries and guiding us through the process.

Excellent service in dealing with our house sale. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend for stress free conveyancing. Matthew and Ella provided an excellent service from start to finish. Matthew rectified a problem that had arisen from the work of a previous Solicitor without fuss and Ella kept us fully updated throughout. Would use again.

Carol and Ella were knowledgeable, professional and very helpful during the sale of my mother’s house. Carol went the extra mile to get me all the paperwork before my holiday and Ella answered all my questions when things got a little stressful. I was very happy with the service I received.
