Honestly couldn't thank Beverly and her team enough! Always there to answer my questions, even if I asked the same one a 100 times. A very efficient and personalised approach to each situation taken on. I would highly recommend.

10 out of 10!

My partner and I purchased our first property and we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into! Mark Feely and his entire team made everything so simple easy to follow. Each stage of the purchase was clearly documented and explained which really put our mind at ease.

They would regularly call us with updates, clear emails with instructions for us and always answer the phone within seconds whenever we had questions.

We had some issues from the sellers and Mark resolved the issue within a day or two. They really made us feel like a priority especially when we wanted a quick exchange. I genuinely cannot say enough positive things about the firm.

They made something that can be quite stressful so straightforward.

House purchase

From the initial quote the team were very friendly.
They completed my house purchase in just under 3 months. I was very pleased.

I would say they were slow at responding to emails and during the process I didn’t get one update from them only when I contacted them but once we were getting to exchange and completion they kept in touch.

I would recommend the team for a house purchase

Absolutely amazing company!
I've had Mark Feeley and his team and I couldn't be happier, they have helped me buy my home with me and they made it super easy and understanding.
I was buying on my own with very little support by my side from family but this company has made the process very easy to follow.

I honestly couldn't be happier
I highly reccomend them !

I was always hoping that our experience buying our first house might break the stigma of “it’s one of the most stressful things in life”. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. However, Mark had been my knight in shining armour and kept me sane, particularly, throughout the last few weeks to completion.

Mark and his team had been brilliant. They were personable, patient, kind and empathetic. But more importantly, treated us like ordinary people. With my past experience of other solicitors, there was no arrogance at all. Just lovely lovely people.

Mark and his team helped me understand any terms that needed an explanation. Answered any of the 100s of questions I asked clearly.

Right from the beginning, they kept our case moving quickly. Our ID and documentation checks were complete within a week. Our BACs payment was paid and we were ready for the draft contacts within 1 month. There were no delays on their behalf at all. Mark unfortunately experienced an important family matter, but he still prioritised us. That is something you really do not come by anymore.

I knew I had instructed the right team when my granddad told me they used David Barney & Co back in 1968. A company can only last that long when they employ the right people.

In future, I will only ever use Mark and his team. They have gained my loyalty forever!

Thank you so much to you all! I appreciate it so much!!
