I would not recommend. The firm has taken on too much work without enough resources. I used this firm for a house sale. Sam and Lucy missed some checklist items and were unavailable when needed. All ended up getting resolved and pushing through, but it was a very stressful experience. Also, I reported my frustrations to the firm and Sam. Sam was arrogant and borderline rude, but the office manager was very kind.

I've always dealt with this solicitor ( through my late uncle ) I have my will with them, last updated 31/8/16. I also gave them ( Charles Neal ) the title deeds to my property, for safe storage! I've contacted them 3 times to request my title deeds ( 27/7, 18/8 and today 20/8. They've never replied to now, now I'm told they DONT have them & do I have a receipt! I keep all important documents! Where do I stand now, I'm in middle of trying to sell & buy a property. Really not happy

I needed a service contract drawing up within a fairly short time, and Charlotte Higgins provided a very responsive service that enabled me to meet my tight deadline. She gave eactly the service I want from a solicitor - they provide the 'standard' (albeit personalised) draft, I provide my own input, and they fine-tune the document so it is legally robust. I have been very happy with the service I received and will return.

Great service. I had a free first meeting, and managed obtain answers and reassurance on three different queries about a transfer of property, and two different draft wills. The solicitor quickly grasped the essentials, and gave me specific and helpful answers, so I could get on with the tasks without paying a penny. Thank you Martin

Bell and Buxton assisted us recently in the legal documentation required for minors to travel to South Africa without their parents. The solicitor we dealt with was particularly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had all the correct documentation at short notice. The trip was able to go ahead without any hitches. Would not hesitate in highly recommending.

My problem seemed to me to be complex, involving property, probate also delicate family issues. The solicitor I initially spoke to at Bell and Buxton immediately understood the situation and pinpointed a solution. My case was dealt with swiftly, professionally and successfully. I was made aware of the costs at every stage. Most important for me was the confidence I felt in the solicitor's ability to understand and resolve the issue.

Bell and Buxton last year arranged powers of attorney for us without any hitches, and explained the ramifications of what is a complicated matter with great patience. We have also in the past used them for work relating to redundancies/severance of contracts, and for conveyancing, without any problems whatsoever, and are about to use them for that latter purpose again, so clearly we have full confidence in them across a range of services.
