World class legal support

I’ve used Bright solicitor firm multiple times over the past 7 years, and once again, they’ve exceeded expectations. This particular transaction involved four separate cases tied to a single deal – a level of complexity that would typically cause delays or confusion.

However, Carys handled everything seamlessly. The complexity never impacted her delivery.

What really stood out was the communication – it was the clearest and most proactive I’ve ever experienced. I never felt the need to chase updates or follow up on outstanding work.

Carys and her team stayed one step ahead throughout, keeping me fully informed and confident that everything was under control.

Her proactive approach meant we completed exactly on the date required, without a hitch. I can’t recommend Carys highly enough.

Truly a benchmark for how legal support should be delivered.

Thank you

Lauren Pascoe from Brights was very efficient when dealing with both myself and my sister during the sale of our mother’s house. Everything we asked was answered immediately. In a very professional way. Thank you for your help at this difficult time.

Property sale and purchase

I have recently used Brights for my sale and purchase and as a repeat user I continue to be delighted by their service. Julie Milton has always been a support when things have been challenging as well as a very efficient lawyer. Her assistant Chloe was also excellent in keeping things moving along. For me they are simply the only firm to use when you need to either sell or buy a property. I would add that for them location is certainly not a problem as I have used them for Devon properties and also for London properties, with similar efficiency unaffected by location.

5 Stars says it all!

Can’t thank the team at Brights enough for their service!
Excellent and quick response to my initial quote enquiry, followed by a good continual flow of information and communication right throughout.

Calls to clients are invaluable as emails in this day and age can quickly get lost, so the follow up is very important.

Can’t fault Danya or Philip in their service and was very impressed with the speed and turnaround of my purchase!

Well done and keep up the great work! Would recommend your solicitors any day!

Thank you.

Purchase of my First Home

I recently had the pleasure of working with Bright Solicitors for the purchase of my new home, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, with exceptional communication and quick responses whenever I had questions. They were always easy to contact, making the whole experience stress-free. The team was incredibly efficient, ensuring everything moved forward swiftly and smoothly, with user-friendly systems that made it all feel well-organised. Jayda, Annabelle and the reception staff were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and approachable, going the extra mile to assist me. Bright Solicitors truly made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and enjoyable, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch legal support.

Great service and support

Philip and Danya were great throughout our purchase of our new house. They provided a responsive and professional service and we were able to comoplete the whole process in just 7 weeks and therefore miss the increase in stamp duty deadline.

Should we move again we will definitley us Bright Solicitors.

I was introduced to Bright Solicitors by my estate agent. I am pleased to say that Adam and Lauren at Bright did a first class job and handled the sale of my late mother's home in a very efficient manner. I would have no hesitation in using Bright Solicitors again in the future.

We initially chose Bright Solicitors after reading positive reviews and felt confident working with Karen Andrews and Alexandra Knapman. At first, they seemed professional and timely—but unfortunately, things quickly deteriorated.

As the process of buying our first home went on, both Karen and Alex began to display a worrying lack of competence, particularly when it came to basic money tracking and managing essential steps of the conveyancing process. This led to unnecessary delays, confusion, and growing frustration on our end. Weeks passed without progress, and we were left constantly chasing updates.

To make matters worse, I opened my inbox one morning to find an abrupt email from Karen stating they would no longer be acting on our file and could not complete our house purchase. This was with only a couple of weeks to go before we had to move out of our rental property—leaving us in a stressful and uncertain position.

Karen was also rude on the phone to several members of my family and made unprofessional remarks, blaming them as the reason she couldn’t proceed with our case. It felt incredibly inappropriate and lacking in basic courtesy. Meanwhile, Alexandra seemed out of her depth, with several issues appearing to stem from her lack of experience in managing funds and organising critical documentation.

The entire experience with Bright Solicitors—especially with Karen and Alex—was unprofessional and stressful. Thankfully, our mortgage advisor recommended Chartahouse Solicitors on Mutley Plain. We contacted Peter Hawkins, who met us the next day, provided a quote (over £200 cheaper than Bright), and got straight to work. He and his team successfully completed our house purchase, and we’re now happily settled six months into our new home.

If you value professionalism, communication, and competence—avoid Bright Solicitors. Our experience was deeply disappointing.

This was my second time using the conveyancing service provided by Bright Solicitors. The sale, due to circumstances outside our control, was challenging and Julie Milton with the support of Chloe Amouroux were great. They consistently kept me informed and chased the relevant parties to make sure momentum was not lost. It was a great comfort to have them both in our corner!
