At Batchelors we are passionate about the people and businesses we support and the law we practice. We offer a wide range of legal services in a friendly, personable and proactive manner. Our solicitors are committed to learning more about the clients they work with so that they can deliver tailored services that get the best results. Our Commercial team at Batchelors provides a variety of services within both the commercial and not-for-profit sectors. A recent extension to the scheme by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles now means that ho.
Services
Any situation involving the law can be daunting, and finding the right Solicitor can be almost as stressful. At Batchelors we recognise this problem and have developed our firm with one aim in mind - to serve your personal and business interests in as friendly a way as possible. You will be given the direct line number to your Solicitor, and their email address in order to make contacting them as easy as possible.
Our clients seek advice from us on a wide range of existing and potential disputes, whether as Claimant, Defendant or as a third party. Typically the disputes relate to either contracts for supplies or contracts for services. These tend to arise in a number of different ways from small house extension projects, to much larger and more involved construction contracts, and can involve issues of warranty, such as NHBC (or similar), professional negligence (against a surveyor or architect) or issues concerning the interpretation of contractual terms.
For residential matters we believe we are unique and stand out from the bulk conveyancing type firms because we provide individual service to clients with a named lawyer assigned to each case and access to that lawyer by a direct telephone number and email. Those lawyers are either qualified or in the process of obtaining qualification unlike the bulk conveyancing firms who employ unqualified staff. Right to buy and right to acquire purchases from Councils, Housing Associations and other registered social landlords.

My partner and I used Batchelors Solicitors for a particularly long and complex case (spanning over many years). Specifically we were working with David Gethin there. I'm finding it hard to express just how good a job David did, and how grateful we are for his incredibly hard and skilled work over the years; and all he has done for us in getting the positive outcome we got this week. David was always available to talk to and advise us any time, which was hugely appreciated given how stressful things were at times.
He explained things clearly every step of the way for us in a way we could understand; and always gave us numerous options on how best to move forward, alongside his professional opinion on what he would consider the best approach (which of course was correct, but we always appreciated being given all available options). The case involved a lot of complex work spanning over many different areas, and David was always highly skilled in each, and ensured everything was always done thoroughly and to the highest of standards.
On a personal level, David is a really friendly, personable guy, and it was a pleasure working with him every step of the way. If you're thinking of instructing a solicitor I genuinely cannot recommend Batchelors Solicitors, and David, highly enough - top class job from start to finish and we will be forever grateful for the outcome they achieved.

Been engaged with this firm for nearly two years administrating a very complex will. Their advice and support has been invaluable during this difficult period. Sarah Hickey and her team have demonstrated the utmost professionalism and efficiency from the very beginning through to completion. Highly recommended. Thank you to all involved.

Over the past several months Batchelors Solicitors have gone above and beyond to support both myself and my brother which was greatly appreciated in these difficult times. I personally want to thank our solicitors Edward White, Claire Godwin and Lorraine Whaley for always having our best interests at heart. I'd also like to thank Gill Clark on reception. Thank you again for all your hard work and guidance. I would highly recommend this company

I have had to deal with the probate and then the administration of a large and (to me) quite complex estate. I could not have achieved a satisfactory conclusion to this process without the invaluable help and guidance given by Edward White. Telephone calls, letters and emails have all been answered promptly and explanations given readily and courteously.
During the process I also had to sell an apartment & was given excellent service by Katia Lake. I would thoroughly recommend Batchelors to anyone, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again myself.

My mother and I enlisted Batchelors Solicitors to help us resolve the estate of her adoptive brother, who had sadly and suddenly passed away while visiting the States. Annmarie, Katia and the entire team have been wonderful towards us. They have helped us navigate a very confusing and foreign legal process by answering questions, offering wise counsel and making sure we didn't stumble.
These sorts of legal issues are stressful and complex, but we would recommend this legal team without hesitation. Personally, I wish to thank them on behalf of my mother. They helped make this painful process relatively painless.

Katia Lake was the Solicitor for my partner's sale and purchase and I was incredibly impressed with her knowledge and advice. She replied to all our emails very quickly and kept us updated on a regular basis. I must say that we did call and email quite a bit but she was always patient and understood our need for reassurance throughout. I appreciated the fact that she was able to achieve our tight time scale since we needed to complete in time to take our children on holiday. Would definitely recommend. 10 star service!

Being a first time home buyer really needed a firm and Solicitor who would take the time to walk me through the property purchasing process and support the time scales I wished to complete on. I would highly recommend Ms K. Lake she was outstanding in her support and knowledge. Her pro active attitude ensured no problems arose and any little challenges were nipped in the bud straight away. Well worth every penny spent. Can not be faulted!

Katia Lake at Batchelors Solicitors is just fantastic. Annoyingly, our sale/purchase took 10 months and over that period she was nothing but thorough, diligent, helpful, friendly, punctual and informative. Always at the end of the phone when we needed her. We have and will recommend Katia, to anyone in need of an amazing Solicitor.

The professional support and advice that I have received from Batchelors Solicitors has been fantastic. Their partners Thaine Wilson and Matthew Miles were excellent at making a difficult situation an easier process, helping to secure more money than was originally offered. I would have no hesitation recommending Batchelors Solicitors to anyone, especially if you want a successful, professional service!

Having worked with this firm for a number of years I can speak first hand of their quality. Led by their excellent and dynamic senior partner, Andrew Harmer, all of their Partners and Associates are first rate. Recently, Leo Stevens undertook conveyancing work for me within a very tight time scale. He worked incredibly hard and demonstrated that he is an asset to his firm.
All of my queries were dealt with very promptly and he was a pleasure to deal with. He kept us informed of developments at all steps during the process and worked effectively with his staff to achieve a smooth completion. I was very impressed.
