Hugely impressed with BHW, after speaking with a number of solicitors, they have been the best at communication and doing what they say they are going to do! Highly recommended!

We have been hugely impressed, for the second time within a year, with the professionalism and calm, helpful manner of all the staff who assisted us. We had no hesitation in engaging BHW again and we certainly have no regrets about that decision. Well done to the whole team and a huge Thank You for all your help and assistance.

Report
We used BHW for sale of our property and onwards purchase. Personally, the best thing is that you can ring the conveyancers directly and do not have to go through reception to have a message taken to be passed to the solicitor which we experienced with other solicitors and found very frustrating. We dealt with Chelsey and Nicola originally and then with Carys and Jennie who completed our sale/purchase process and they were excellent, especially Carys who we were hounding for updates multiple times a day on occasion due to a somewhat unresponsive/complicated chain below and she has always been most

Excellent solicitors. Used on the recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. BHW had excellent communication and really kept us in the loop at all times. Would definitely use again if we ever move.

The team at BHW especially Lauren & Kimberly were fantastic. The communication was excellent throughout and I felt they did absolutely everything possible to get us across the line as quickly as possible whilst also protecting our interests. I would highly recommend BHW to anyone buying or selling a property.

BHW Residential don't provide legal advice...they just provide a service and regurgitate what they find. Did not provide legal advise when I asked what are my risk and what I should be aware. Very very poor...
