Petra, June 2023

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin Alfreds at Barker Gillette for his excellent service in handling the conveyancing for my recent property sale and purchase.

Having used solicitors in the past and not having a great experience, the whole process was a pleasant surprise. I was immediately put at ease by Martin’s friendly and professional manner. He took the time to explain the process to me in detail and answered all of my questions in a clear and concise way.

Martin was always available to answer my calls or emails, and he and the team always responded promptly. They kept me updated on the progress of the sale and purchase throughout, and they were always happy to go the extra mile to help me.

I was particularly impressed with Martin’s attention to detail. He made sure that all of the paperwork was completed correctly and were always on the lookout for any potential problems.

I would not hesitate to recommend Martin to anyone who is looking for a conveyancing solicitor. RIAA Barker Gillette is professional, efficient, and friendly. I am very grateful for their help in making my property sale and purchase a smooth and stress-free experience.”

Overall, I was very happy with the service I received from Martin and the team at RIAA Barker Gillette. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a conveyancing solicitor.”

“I contacted RIAA Barker Gillette about writing a will.  During the whole deal with them I found them to be professional, full of patience for my questions, and explain in a clear and understandable way in this area.  They understood the special situation I was in and solved the problem to my satisfaction.  I recommend them to anyone who needs help with inheritance matters.”

“Fortunately I don’t have to use Employment Solicitors that often but having dealt with Karen before I immediately called her when a problem arose.  As expected, she listened intently and helped me resolve a very stressful issue with a minimum of fuss, often taking the lead when dealing with the ex-employee to lower the stress levels that she knew it would cause—all in all an open efficient and professional service from start to finish.”
