Absolutely brilliant, fast, professional, clear and delivered a robust service
“Recent mortgage oversight from Ben Marks and Anne was superbly dealt with, and I intend on moving all my business to them. For a big firm, they really do pay attention to detail. Great service and worked around the clock to deliver! Highly recommended, tried and tested and didn’t let me down!”
“Michael Davies has been representing me for about 35 years, and I cannot recommend him or RIAA Barker Gillette (UK) highly enough. Aside from the normal conveyancing, he is always on hand to advise and guide you through the difficult phases, offering clear advice, particularly when you can’t see the wood for the trees. Friendly, firm, professional and clear. Exactly what you need. Thank you, Michael! I also would add that all of the other staff that I have had the occasion to have dealings with are equally as professional.”

“I had a great experience selling my Leasehold Property with RIAA Barker Gillette. Both parties were after a swift transaction which we were clear on prior to engaging this firm.
Ben Marks looked after my case, and I had a thoroughly positive experience. Clear and consistent communication, swift response times and a great legal knowledge were just some of the key factors that made me feel at ease throughout the process. I especially appreciated that he made time for all of my ad hoc call requests and answered my questions thoroughly or cleared up any confusion I may have had around the process due to my lack of conveyancing knowledge.
From onboarding to completion, the process took us 4 1/2 weeks. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a solicitor to use this firm.”
“Ben and the team were excellent and I am able to say the process of selling was painless! Any potential hiccups were always addressed calmly and with a solution in mind. Very happy to recommend him/them.”
“Recently had occasion to use the services of Borehamwood branch conveyancing department and very impressed with all the contacts we had there, namely Laura Thurlow and Anne Stern.”
“Martin and his team at Barker Gillette acted for us in our purchase and sale of property. The chain was lengthy and elements of the work became complex. Martin was tenacious and resolved to answer our queries as they arose. He handled all aspects of the sale and purchase and advised us what he needed from us on a timely basis. The team were really professional and a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for experienced legal support with conveyancing”
