We were selling a property, with no purchase involved. The previous firm of Solicitors we'd used over a 20 year period had reduced the size of their business and their costs had escalated. We did some research online and found Conveyancing Index who recommended 3 Solicitors who could conduct the whole process online. We went with the middle quote and that was Baker Ashley. Their reviews were excellent and we liked the fact that there were no hidden extra costs, the process could be handled online and we were allocated a dedicated Case Manager. Nataly was excellent from start to finish and we can't recommend her highly enough. On the rare occasion we had need to ring the offices we were impressed with the friendly and efficient nature of everyone we spoke to. Our emails were also responded to promptly and we liked the way we were able to follow the progress of our sale by email updates every time an action was taken. The whole process was easy. We will certainly be using Baker Ashley again in the future and wish them every success.
Where to start. It was my first time flat purchase but let me tell you it was one of the most painful experiences in my life. I've had over 4 solicitors on my case including David head of conveyancing. If you have any issues you will be lucky to get anyone to reply. I haven't even finished my completion yet despite living in the flat for 6 months. For example I sent the deed of covenant to David 6 months ago so my ownership could be registered with the council After 3 months I contacted them and turned out Dacid had forgot to send it so they would immediately processes it. I then phoned the council and they said they hadn't paid for it so it couldn't be completed. I then tried to make a complaint to baker Ashley but my email was ignored and this is against rules by the regulator as the solicitors must tell you how to make an internal complaint. Basically don't use these guys as you will spend your life chasing them up and getting bs reasons why something isn't done even if a third party tells you otherwise. They are terrible through and through Edit: you can't see a complaint as your solicitors did not provide the details. I can share an email to one of your solicitors showing that I want to make a complaint and that my email was ignored!
We completed in around 4 months but we also had downtime between Christmas holidays and New Year so in fairness i think Baker Ashley did alright given the situation with covid and everything else Of course we would have liked for all of it to take as little time as possible but thatβs not realistic We are happy with the services provided and we will have to praise Debi Tobin for her support throughout this and Elizabeth Fletcher for her great work behind the scene Thanks again and we will hopefully be in touch for our next property when that might happen
A big thank you to Julie for all her hard work and diligence throughout the process of our sale and purchase. She responded quickly and effectively to all correspondence and was polite, professional and always very helpful. Would highly recommend the service we received.
Positive experience with Lisa Aplin and Sue Wykes, very helpful and available and made the process of selling and buying a smooth one.
Great service from conveyancer Nataly Giacovazzi very helpful always happy to assist and great communication throughout the whole process with my purchase of my first home would recommend and use again!!
Our conveyancer and support staff were professional and informative throughout the process. The online system was also really useful. Excellent service. Thank you!
Thank you very much guys, itβs been 7 long months for us too, but not your fault at all. Thanks a million to Lisa Aplin, which was on the ball all the time, I do apologise for me going mental ! :) Overall, anytime and every time things moved very quick with you guys, unfortunately were others holding us up, but we got there and bought the property ! Thanks again and all the best ! Regards
An excellent service from start until finish with Baker Ashley. Unfortunately, we had a long 7 months before completing with issues at the bottom of the chain. Julie Mann was our conveyancer and even on the day of exchanging and completing contracts, she was chasing up and down the chain. She kept us informed throughout the process and was just as enthusiastic about the completion as we were. A very kind, caring lady. We would use this solicitor again.
The team have been absolutely brilliant! They have assisted our family with a remortgage and a house purchase in the last 12 months and they have been just superb. Would throughly recommend. Thanks Chris
Getting my son and his girlfriend on the property ladder was a challenge. So difficult for first time buyers getting a mortgage. Fortunately they managed it but that was just the beginning. We then needed a solicitor to guide us through the whole purchase process. I can not express how wonderful the service was from Baker Ashley. They kept us updated all through the process and at times going beyond what you would expect to explain issues that we encountered. David and his colleagues made the whole process stress free. Finally I have to mention how incredibly competitive the cost was and no hidden cost surprises at the end. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and certainly use their services again.
I can honestly say that these solicitors have been the best I have dealt with. They have been efficient and very responsive. In particular my dealings with Andie Roberts and Natalie Abdo have been excellent and an utter pleasure. They dealt with my house sale with such diligence and are very friendly too. Their fees are excellent and very competitive. I highly recommend these solicitors for any housing transactions you may need. Many thanks
Fantastic service provided by Lisa A. and Suzanne W. They were very professional, efficient, and understanding in all areas of the work undertaken for re-mortgage my house. I have used other solicitors previously but none compare to the high standards I have witnessed with Baker Ashley Solicitors. Really cannot recommend them highly enough....Excellent Service..
I used Baker Ashley in the sale of my house, things were a little slow at first but that was due to a backlog of work due to the COVID pandemic, once it got going though it went smoothly and they were very helpful and polite particularly Chrissy, I was kept informed on a regular basis so thanks to all involved
Baker Ashley Solicitors are extremely professional and very helpful. I would personally like to thank Emma Quenby who is above all the most incredibly professional lady you could ever wish to meet. Emma is simply brilliant, the help, support and advice Emma has provided has been absolutely fantastic. I could not recommend Baker Ashley Solicitors and in particular Emma Quenby enough! Thank you Emma.
This is my first time purchasing a property the experience from Baker Ashley was professional, easy to follow and they (Nataly) gave very pragmatic and practical advise to help me through the journey. I would absolutely use and recommend. Plus their fees were very reasonable compared the other quotes I received!
We were first time buyers so unsure of the process, Baker Ashley and our solicitor Julie Mann have been exceptional at guiding us through the process! There have been some hiccups along the road but all were handled professionally and communicated to us so that we never felt lost or unsure. 100% would recommend!
Baker Ashley were amazing. Andie was our conveyancer and she worked extra hard for us to get completion over the line for us on the date we had planned! Highly recommend!
Julie and Carol were fantastic for my leasehold purchase, incredibly thorough, always kept me in the loop and were very approachable! Thank you so much for your help, you made the process a lot less stressful for me!

Mar 20,2022Baker Ashley handled my sale and purchase which quickly became very stressful due to the incompetence of my previous solicitors. Nataly G was amazing, efficient and sorted out the whole mess. It was a mammoth journey to finally sell and complete but really great service from Nataly and her assistants who understood how stressed I was. Thank you so much
