But for the resilience and professionlism of James Edwards and the Commercial Property Team, over an extended period, our application would have been doomed. Great VFM and would recommend without hesitation.

Commercial property lease

James Edwards dealt with a new commercial property lease. His advice, expertise, accuracy and speed of work was exemplary and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

Beauty treatment gone wrong

I had a beauty treatment that went wrong. I spoke with Sian Taylor from the beginning, she was excellent all the way through the process. Anytime I had a question she responded promptly and explained it in a way that I could fully understand. My claim was dealt with within 11 months , it would have been sooner but the defendant caused some issues that Sian dealt with fairly quickly.

Overall a very efficient service

Overall a very efficient service, especially given the current Covid 19 challenges. Responses were fast and the information was clear and to the point. I felt confident that a thorough job was being done, whilst practical guidance was provided to tackle any potential risks arising with the property purchase.

This is my 4th time using Bartlett's…

This is my 4th time using Bartlett's Solictors and once again James & Lois have gone over and above exceeding my expectations. Nothing ever seems to be to much trouble for either of them.

I will definitely be back again in the near future, thanks again James & Lois. I would highly recommend you both.

Kind regards,

Lee.

I will not be using Bartlett’s again

****Update, no one from Bartlett has ever contacted about this review, they do not care as long as they get your money. Not even a call to apologise.

I bought a house early this year and used Bartlett’s for our solicitor as they had rave reviews. We were given Louise Nelson as the person overseeing all our legal issues, I was quite happy because again she was highly recommended in the reviews. Unfortunately this is not the experience we had, she almost lost us our mortgage because she misspelled my name in a letter to the bank which led to our mortgage being declined and a week long appeal. This happened 3 days before we were due to exchange contracts. This was not the first time she and her assistant had misspelled information in important letters and documents, I had to raise the misspelling of my name on the transfer of deeds. The correspondence from Louise and her assistant were very sloppy and often late, for example the searches on our property were not given to us for 3 weeks after they had been completed. Louise claimed that they had not been done but the dates on the forms did not line up with her story.

Other issues with Louise is her manner in which she speaks to her clients, in the middle of our mortgage being declined due to her negligence she would speak down to me on the phone and ignore my concerns. We had to sort out the mess that she had created and get to the source of why the mortgage had been declined which was her fault. She is rude and very condescending when you speak to her. As first time buyers we were hopeful that a good solicitor would help us through the process but it was the opposite.

Another frustrating issue with Bartlett’s and more specifically Louise is contacting them. We were promised a call back or an email back on so many occasions and we ended up having to chase. On one occasion we had to wait 7 DAYS to get through to Louise.

Very disappointed in the service, very concerned with Louise‘s competency and attention to detail. I would not be advise anyone to go with Bartlett’s and definitely will not be using them again. We did not even receive an apology or compensation for having to pay extra rents due to a problem which they caused. Do your research and pay attention to negative comments.

Highly recommend Bartletts…

We've recently used Bartletts Solicitors Liverpool for the sale of our existing property and onward purchase. Highly recommend James Edwards, Lois Evans & the Commercial Property Department team. They've been incredibly efficient at sorting the process and made it completely stress free!
Thanks James & team, we're very grateful for all your hard work.

Great Service from James and Lois

We recently made a purchase of an apartment for investment and James Edwards, in the Commercial Property Department at Bartletts, provided a thorough and helpful service throughout. Given the crazy nature of this year, they provided timely updates as to any expected delays and current progress. Either James or Lois would provide responses in a reasonable time frame from any enquiry I made.
I would definitely recommend them for any work and will be using them again as well and they are very reasonably priced.

Total nightmare

Total nightmare, trying to sell a house since December 2020, and the lack of communication is so stressful with Bartlett's.
You telephone and the solicitors never returns your calls, you email and they never return your emails, they couldn't do enough upon instructing them for their services, and went down hill fast after you become a client.
Communication and customer service skills need drastically improving. if you want added stress to either selling or buying your house in an already stressful time, these solicitors will give you more.

Amazing!

My experience with Bartletts has been amazing. Sian communicated with me and kept me informed throughout the very transparent process. Things were explained to me in full detail which empowered me to make my own decision. Thank you Sian.

Great experience

As first time buyers, we had lots of questions and Louise was always happy to answer them! Louise was so quick to respond, and very kindly worked around our timeline to help us avoid additional rent costs. If we were to need any other legal work, we would return to Bartletts.

Bartletts Solicitors excellent service Wills and/or LPA

Louise and team provided a professional first class service to help me change an existing last will and testament during these difficult times due to personal circumstances, Making a Will or an LPA is one of those things we put off but now more than ever they are vital documents that will ease our mind in a world where solace is hard to find, Louise is very professional, efficient and extremely helpful in answering all questions along the way.
I would highly recommend Bartletts Solicitors for all legal matters while home or working abroad
