Fantastic service

Yolanda and Chloe have been amazing from start to finish. Our time as first time buyers was very stressful from the start but Chloe was very quick to our mind at ease and explain everything that was happening and how long things would take. We was never made to feel like we was an inconvenience at all when we had a million questions at the start. I would highly recommend this fantastic team!!

Selling and purchasing of house

Thanks for everything keighly, without you in control of the chain the selling and purchasing of our house wouldn't have happened. Sometimes dealing with a solicitor can be very difficult. Not keighly, she goes above and beyond to keep you in the loop, replies so quickly to calls and emails, even when other solicitors in the chain aren't replying or doing there job she will make sure to keep chasing. Our move Simply wouldn't have happened without Keighly. Can't recommend her enough, and definitely will be using her again the future. Thanks again for everything.

Excellent service when purchasing my property

First time using BTMK and am very happy with the service. We were always kept up to date with developments, and even though we were under some times pressures, Matthew Clark, Hazel Bourke and Rosanne Chapman took this on board and helped push this forward for us. Would highly recommend BTMK to anyone.

Had a great experience

I am a first time buyer and chose BTMK as my solicitor and they were amazing - really supported me throughout my journey with buying my home and it was not an easy ride from the beginning to the end, but Karen, Karen and Jo have been great throughout the whole process. Thank you for helping me get my first home sorted ☺️

Gill Neil and her team were very professional in completing my house sale and subsequent purchase.
All associated communications were very clear and concise whether conveying details / status or requesting information from me.

Fantastic experience selling our house

BTMK, especially Keighly Strutt, made the whole process smooth and stress free. Keighly kept us updated throughout, and was always professional, approachable, and helpful. I am very grateful for her support and would highly recommend BTMK to anyone needing their services.

I initially instructed a different firm of solicitors in leigh on sea where the service provided was extremely poor. Luckily I realised early enough and changed to BTMK solicitors and Joe Burns was dealing with my case. Joe is very professional and hard workig solicitor! From instruction to completion it took about 4 weeks and that included dealing with some complex issues on the way! Thank you very much!

Currently purchasing a house and the sellers are using these solicitors. Absolute joke from the beginning, delayed sending the initial paperwork to our solicitor, lied about when it was sent, slow to respond to queries and we've been waiting on them for 2 weeks now as everyone else is ready. It does not take 3 weeks to sort out an indemnity policy! No chance of exchanging this side of Christmas now as they close tomorrow and we'll be lucky if they even look at their emails today. Avoid!

How do you rate a solicitor??. you're not good enough to speak to them directly only through an assistant. All for a premium.

About this branch

Description

Many years ago, there were four leading law firms based in South Essex. Travell Horner, Bates & Partners, Twitchen & Musters, and finally Robinson & Kelly. The first two, Travell Horner and Bates & Partners merged and became Bates Travell, and then the other two superb law firms Twitchen & Musters and Robinson Kelly also came together to become Twitchen, Musters, Robinson & Kelly – which was a bit of a mouthful so they became TMK Solicitors in due course. These two exceptional legal practices continued until they decided to join forces and became the BTMK that we know and love today.

Practice areas

All areas of personal law such as family & matrimonial, litigation & dispute resolution, professional negligence, childcare, employment law, insolvency, personal injury & clinical negligence, wills, probate, trusts & inheritance, injunctions, contentious probate and will disputes. All areas of commercial and business related law such as commercial property (buying, selling, entering into, disposing), business sales and acquisitions, commercial litigation and dispute resolution, intellectual property, insolvency and winding-up procedures, injunctions and employer related employment work.
