I was thoroughly impressed from the very beginning with Birchall Blackburn Law. As a first time buyer, not knowing what the legal ins and outs of purchasing a home were. They were able to provide and execute all the documentation clearly and professionally for us. Fair and honest with every aspect of their conveyancing process. […]

Truly dire and stressful experience with this firm.

Awful from start to finish. Our soliciter Ted Kingsnorth was very unhelpful. We were first time buyers.
