I found composing and writing a Will so very clear and easy thanks to Chloe. I had a complete understanding of what was happening and what to expect thanks to fantastic legal advice.

I would highly recommend Blackhurst Budd Solicitors every time.

Professional, hassle-free conveyancing service.

This firm dealt with the conveyancing for my recent house purchase. My Solicitor, Jenny McPhee, kept me updated through the process and presented me with all the necessary documents and information, with clear and understandable explanations for everything. Communcation was dealt with promptly and professionally, and I was relaxed through the whole process, condifident that everything was proceeding as it should. It really was a hassle-free transaction.

Really good service. We have taken their advice and help on two separate matters, for a rental agreement and then to sale the property via auction. Briony was excellent both times, keeping us updated and giving us honest, legal advice as opposed to what people wanna hear.

She was also very prompt in keeping us updated. Literally completed the auction within 2-3 days. Fees are reasonable as well

Thanks again Briony and team!

After 3 months of review and after posting countless documents out at our own cost they dropped our case, due to legislation that did not apply to the building we are purchasing. They provided little to no context & were unresponsive.

I called regularly to request updates and no one was ever available to discuss the case on the phone. Blunt emails were all we received in return.

Very unhelpful & incapable of processing even the most basic cases. Do not use!

A big thank you to Marissa and the team at Blackhurst Budd. Made my house purchase as smooth as possible and we completed very quickly. Marissa was always on top of communicating either on call or via emails and was very professional during the whole process. Can't fault Blackhurst at all. Thanks! 5*!
