5 months on from our sale and purchase and we’ve just had a HMRC demand and fine for non payment of stamp duty. The solicitor has had it for all this time and I can only assume thought it was a bonus! Better still there is no rush to resolve it as the solicitor is on holiday so we will have to wait until she gets back as there is no one else who can put the huge mistake right!
A representative from Butcher And Barlow Llp responded to this review on 07 August, 2025:

From the first phone call, the next day appointment to the completion there was always great and clear advice and support. Though you had to go through the central telephone line, Mohammed was always reachable and pleased to help and explain what will be next. Professional advice and support is what will make me choose Butcher and Barlow again should (hopefully not) the case arises where legal representation is required. Special thanks again to Mohammed Balal for his great and uncomplicated yet professional case handling.

Completed on our home last Thursday and had used Butcher & Barlow (44 church st leigh) based on a recommendation of how good Karen is.
Kirsty Frain took point on this for us and it took little over 2months from instruction, through to completion with advice/guidance given where needed, laser sharp (in exactly the way you'd want your solicitor to be!)
I hope i don't need conveyancing again any time soon, but if I do i'll be coming straight back here.

I've used Karen Baker twice now, first time for selling, and the second for buying. Her knowledge and help is second to none. She picked four faults in the sellers solicitors contract, which would have caused so many problems further down the line. I would highly recommend her & Heyman &Co............Thank you Karen.

I used Karen Baker twice for house purchase/sale, as the first experience was great. She came recommended by my sister who works in the mortgage sector and heard/had experienced clients being very happy with her. She was exactly what I needed. Clear and honest advice. Would use again before risking anywhere else.
