Positive:Professionalism
Fantastic work and patience by Kerrie. The sale and purchase of our new home was challenging due to our buyers but Kerrie kept us constantly informed and reassured us when I was ready to pull my hair out! Thank you!

Awful experience with this solicitor acting as an executor for an estate. Unresponsive, unhelpful, unprofessional just about covers it. Cost us 6 months in rent and countless hours of stress. To be avoided at all costs.

I had a good experience with BEST during my recent house sale, they were organised and courteous. They were held up by the other side's solicitors numerous times but every action our side was done quickly. I think I got great value. I will let some of the quality and responsiveness aspects slide, due to the fact the other side were being difficult and also we passed through two stamp duty deadlines during this conveyancing process.

We had a fantastic experience with Best Solicitors Sheffield branch, Kerrie was fantastic she responded to our emails with no hesitation and when there were issues we needed chasing she was on to them like a flash.
