I've used Bartons Solicitors twice now for conveyancing. Both times, I've received excellent service - they are quick to respond to questions (no query is too silly or small) and on-the-ball when it comes to moving the process along as rapidly as possible. I often recommend Bartons to friends, as I've been so impressed with their service - I'll certainly continue to use them for any future conveyancing.

We would not go to anyone else! We have just sold and bought properties using Laura Williams at Bartons Solicitors and cannot recommend her highly enough! Throughout the process she kept us fully informed, answered any questions and provided total reassurance which gave us total peace of mind. We are so grateful for the professionalism, dedication and passion for her work throughout the whole process.

Just used Bartons for the first time for a property purchase. It was not a high value transaction but their service was excellent throughout and were very responsive and proactive throughout. Their price was competitive and fair for the service provided. It is highly likely that I'll use them again for future sales/purchases.

Remarkably efficient and very fast. Think I first got in touch in late December, and we had completed by early March. They were very thorough with the seller's solicitors, going to great lengths to look after my own interests. To al my queries and concerns, they responded with great swiftness and explained things clearly which - given this was my first go at buying property - was invaluable. I think the pricing was very fair, given the exceptional service. And I'll absolutely be using Bartons again in the future. Thanks a lot! Edward

Used Bartons for conveyancing on a somewhat difficult commercial property purchase. Communication was good and when I needed them to act extremely quickly they stepped up and got the purchase over the line. Most of my correspondence was with Anna but Nicola covered a couple of times. Both were excellent and extremely personable. Premises also have best views of any of the Totnes based solicitors with a great pub underneath the offices!

Over the past 27 years we have used Bartons for some eight or nine legal matters. The latest - a lease extension in London via a singularly awkward landlord - was executed with efficiency and speed and a commanding use of the law concerned. No lawyers are cheap, not all are good but few are this good.

From all my experience with lawyers to date, Bartons are top of the list. Emily Brown and Claire Reynolds dealt with the sale of our property which involved some tricky complications. Nothing was a problem for Bartons, with a very impressive response at every hurdle. Friendly, professional, thoughtful.and more, all resulting in a solution at a very reasonable cost.
The attention to detail and mission to resolve seems to apply to many aspects of specialism within the Bartons group. I could go on. Life is definitely better knowing they are to hand!

Bartons of Totnes have represented me, these past 7 years, on three occasions for property conveyancing and have further acted for me in the drawing up of three other official/legal documents. I have always found them professional and friendly, reassuring and efficient and very approachable. They operate as a great team with legal secretaries/legal assistants connecting well with the solicitors. I fully recommend them.

I have used Bartons on three separate occasions, and each time have been impressed by their friendly, responsive and super-efficient service. Prior to them, and for previous matters, I have used other solicitors in the locality, but Bartons come out head and shoulders above the competition. They will be my automatic choice next time.

I have been working with Bartons for some time and they have handled a number of issues for me mostly property transactions. On this occasion it has been changing the property deeds into joint names which has been made more difficult by the banks; and right in the middle of the pandemic. Jane Tytheridge has been fantastic, patient and at times necessarily assertive with the banks. Absolutely fantastic service and this has only reinforced the reasoning for working with them again in the future. Thanks Jane. Paul Smith

Our combined sale and purchase were not the most straightforward and Emily Brown and Nicola Edgcombe shone out above the other parties' solicitors by always being available and easy to communicate with. Without their hands-on approach we would have missed the stamp duty deadline and quite possibly the whole transaction would have fallen apart. Their persistence paid off!

Buying and selling a property with Bartons has been stress free. Claire and Jane have worked tirelessly to get all the paper work completed before the end of the stamp duty holiday and whenever I had a query it was looked into immediately and dealt with professionally and efficiently. This is the second time that I have used Bartons solicitors and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much ladies you have been AMAZING!

We worked with Claire Reynolds on the sale of our mother's property - Claire and her assistant Jayne were fantastic I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. We were quoted a fixed cost which seemed very reasonable and was adhered to without any questions. In the process of the sale they always responded promptly and clearly to any questions from us and requests from the buyer's side.
It looked to me that they were much more efficient and responsive than the buyer's solicitor. They were also very pleasant to communicate with. As I said I would 100% recommend them as excellent support in a complex and sometimes stressful process - they were very helpful and reassuring in the tricky times.
