Highly recommended

5

We were recommended to use Blacks Solicitors to buy a property though our limited company and they were an approved company by our mortgage company, Fleet Mortgages. Samantha Simpson was recommended as a highly professional and diligent conveyancer and was supported by Anne Clarkson.

Samantha made the process effortless and stress free. I was a little concerned at the minimum contact I had from them but this was only due to the fact that they had everything in hand and only contacted me when they couldn't resolve the situation or any the questions themselves. They would reply promptly to calls and emails, something which has been extremely slow with previous solicitors in other firms..

We have used Blacks to buy a second property and they were able to make up any delays caused by the seller to ensure we completed before the mortgage offer expired.

I will be using Blacks again for future purchases as I believe we have found a reliable and trusted firm after kissing many frogs (conveyancers) with other properties we have bought.

Exceptional Service provided by Samantha Simpson and Anne Clarkson

5

Both Samantha and Anne were incredibly prompt in addressing any queries I had, ensuring that I was always kept informed and that the process moved forward smoothly. They provided a lovely service, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Samantha and Anne to anyone seeking solicitors for any property sale. Their expertise, combined with their excellent communication skills, made a potentially stressful process much more manageable.

I will definitely be working with them again in the future.

My husband and I cannot express enough how grateful we are at using Anne and Samantha for our recent house sale and purchase. They have provided communication throughout and talked things through with us in a way which we understand. We would highly recommend using them again - 5 star service. Thank you both so much!

Fantastic, efficient, and friendly

5

We had a brilliant experience as first time buyers with lots of questions about the process. Just nine weeks from offer accepted to completion. Sam our solicitor was fantastic, we never had to chase for anything she was extremely responsive, with excellent and speedy cover from her colleague also while Sam was on holiday. Would highly recommend.

A message for Samantha

5

Our solicitor Samantha S was amazing, very good time efficiency. We had 2 weeks from getting the mortgage offer to completing before having to get out of our previous house. Sam rushed this through for us and got the job done. Highly recommend and want to thank her for all our help.

Fantastic service at a very competitive price

5

Fantastic service at a very competitive price. Samantha is super efficient responding extremely promptly to emails. My purchase was a time sensitive 28 days auction purchase for a limited company and at no time was I concerned that we would not make the set completion date. Blacks solicitors are on the panel for my lender Precise Mortgages and I will now stick with them for any future purchases as I have previously had very mixed experiences of solicitors. Sam has even done my expedite for me rather than just passing on the tracking number for me to do myself and it has already been approved by land registry so all set for the remortgage once the refurb is complete.

Excellent service

In what could've been a complex transaction, with one house purchase and 2 property transfers, Samantha and Anne made the whole process run smoothly and easily. No chasing was needed and any questions I had were dealt with promptly. I would recommend Blacks solicitors.

I've had a great experience working with Anne and Samantha — their communication is fantastic, and I'm always kept fully updated on the progress of my case. They're both incredibly supportive with any requests and consistently go the extra mile to try and help out. I had a rushed mortgage case that needed pushing through quickly, and they did everything they could to help me hit my deadline — something I genuinely appreciate.

I would highly recommend Samantha Simpson for anyone purchasing investment properties.

My only frustration is with the company itself — charging £150 to review another solicitor's independent legal advice feels like taking advantage of customers. It's actually cheaper to obtain the independent legal advice elsewhere, and I don't believe clients should be charged for Blacks solicitors to simply check it over. Honestly, I think this is a disappointing and unfair practice.

I purchased an investment property (high-rise apartment) and used Blacks as they are one of the few firms that deals with high-rises. Samantha Simpson was excellent and explained everything in detail - I recommend her.
