Excellent work and communication and a successful outcome.

This review is for a different branch.

I inherited a flat which required a lease extension to make it saleable. The representatives of the freeholder were uncooperative but Alex achieved a good result at a reasonable cost, always keeping me informed and giving good advice.

Excellent and professional service.

This review is for a different branch.

We were recommended to Bronte and were delighted with the service received. Our move was not straightforward and the help and advice received provided us with complete peace of mind. The final stages of any move can be tricky, and ours was exactly that. However, we were guided through with calmness and clarity at all times.

Alex has dealt with a lease extension for us. All of the way through the process he has been very professional and has taken the time to explain what’s happening to ‘non legals’ in an easy to understand way. Highlighting our choices and confirming we were happy with them. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alex.

This review is for a different branch.

Hannah is a very professional and brilliant solicitor. She handled a very difficult situation with corporate purchasers with calmness determination and great proficiency. She negotiated our behalf and would not be brow beaten by the other sides legal department taking much of the stress out of the situation. She explained her recommendations fully and led us to good decisions. Having had a property company for over 40 years we have dealt with many legal firms and individual solicitors. She certainly ranks with the best and is highly recommended. We look forward to her handling our next transaction.

Excellent value for Service provided

Bronte was a pleasure to do business with from start to finish.
She kept us up to date and informed throughout. Was well priced for service provided. She shared in our frustrations when the purchase stalled somewhat. This made it feel more personal than just another client.

Bronte Haynes - Superstar

This review is for a different branch.

We've had an exceptional experience working with Bronte for three property transactions in the past 12 months. Start to finish, the process has been handled with professionalism, efficiency, and excellent attention to detail.

Communication was always prompt and clear with regular updates at every stage. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Any questions we had were answered quickly and thoroughly and we always felt in safe hands. What really stood out was her proactive approach in chasing things up without us needing to ask and ensuring deadlines were met. We felt genuinely supported throughout which hasn't been the case when using a different firm in the past.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bronte to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable conveyancer!

I would NOT recommend Rawlins Davey Solicitors, I used them for the purchase of the Freehold on a block of Flats. Alex Crabbe failed to due his due diligence and issue a LPE1 but has refused to admit that he did or offer any compensation when we were faced with a deficit on the account following completion. Very sloppy work and would avoid using him/them.
