Once again we received excellent service from Backhouse Solicitors. We appreciated the professionalism, clear explanations and quick responses.
Tina, thank you for guiding us through the process of probate with patience and understanding.

A huge thank you to Backhouse, particularly Elena and Alfie! Although the thoroughness of their process (justifying every £1,000+ transaction) could be daunting at times, it ultimately made my property purchase incredibly smooth and stress-free. They come highly recommended for their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication!

We recently sought some advice regarding sickness rights for my wife at work following a serious illness. My wife had employed Minal Backhouse and her team about 10 years ago, so had no hesitation in contacting them again as they were able to secure us a very satisfactory outcome at that time.

Minal provided us with some very useful information that we have been able to use as part of the 30 minute initial consultation that they offer.

We would always recommend Backhouse solicitors.

I have worked with Backhouse for a number of years now and have always received exceptional service from the entire team, as a business we have used Backhouse for various services- including legal advice, HR advice and ongoing HR support through a package. I have also used Backhouse for my own personal reasons. I would highly recommend Backhouse and look forward to working with them again in the future.

As a first time buyer, I wasnt sure what to expect, however Catie & Chelsea, kept me in the loop at all times and were timely in their responses, meaning the process was stress free. I would highly recommend Backhouse and will use again in the future should I ever move.

As first-time buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Backhouse Solicitors. From start to finish, their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail were outstanding.
Meg was exceptionally diligent, guiding us through every stage of the process with clarity and reassurance. Her responsiveness and proactive approach made what could have been an overwhelming experience remarkably smooth.

Rob also provided invaluable support, offering clear and well-considered advice that kept everything on track. What truly set them apart was their seamless teamwork—when one was unavailable, the other picked up emails and ensured nothing was left unattended. We never had to chase them for updates, which made the whole process even more stress-free.

If you're looking for a solicitor who is both highly competent and client-focused, Backhouse Solicitors are THE solicitors to go for.

Clear, succint and honest advice on an employment law/wrongful dismissal issue. Given realistic advice as to the costs and timescales involved and clearly weren't trying to pursue every £note by giving unfeasible advice.

Excellent communication at all times, always available.

For our house purchase transaction, we had a great experience working with Catie B. and team. Initially, we were apprehensive as Backhouse was recommended by the sellers, but Catie and her colleagues reassured us and were professional throughout. Thank you Catie and Chelsea.

I'd work with them again.

BackHouse Solicitors were amazing in assisting me with removing my name off of a Mortgage/Transfer of Deeds. They were really efficient and friendly and kept me up to date the entire time. I never had to chase them, and when I asked my case handler Ben to update me weekly, he did without question, was very friendly and informative over the phone considering I didnt have a clue what I was doing. Overall they were just such a friendly team, and I couldnt recommend them more! Considering how highly stressful it was for me, they made the whole process smooth and Ben and the team were very reliable and considerate. Definitely coming back(house) to them again!

Catie and Chelsea were both amazing, so so helpful answered any questions we had without hesitation. Both Catie and Chelsea were happy to help and always available whenever we needed anything. They both made the process as stress free as possible and smooth sailing for both our Sale and Purchase. We couldn’t recommend Catie and Chelsea enough, a real credit to the Backhouse Team. Thank you so much x

I used Backhouse Solicitors for conveyancing. As a first time buyer I was very satisfied with the way they handled my matter and the responsiveness and advice given by Sarah. Would use this firm again for further legal matters.

Excellent service from beginning to end. Liz & Ben communicated regularly and went the extra mile throughout the whole process of buying our home. Restored my faith in Solicitors! I cannot recommend them highly enough - thank you for making the process so smooth and stress free !

Rebecca, Macy, and Susan guided us through the conveyancing process, and they were truly phenomenal. Their efficiency and exceptional communication stood out. I had concerns about slow responses, as many people say solicitors are hard to reach, but I was blown away by how swift and attentive they were. They provided regular updates—even if it was just to reassure me that they were actively chasing progress. Thanks to their dedication, we went from viewing to completion in less than four months! I highly recommend Backhouse Solicitors—they are worth it!

Fantastic service ! Melanie and Madelina were amazing. Communication thorough fast and both always approachable !! Would highly recommend.

After choosing Backhouse as my solicitors as a first time buyer the only word I could use is outstanding. Both Catie and Chelsea whom were my main support, have been outstanding every step of the of the process being patient whist providing guidance and clarity as someone going through purchasing a property for the first time! This standard has also been kept when speaking with all other members of Backhouse for other items. Would highly recommend to others and 100% will refer back to Backhouse for any future solicitor needs.

Robert and Megan made the stresses of moving house easier...we could always count on great communication and will be recommending them to friends and family

Excellent service! Alfie, Elena and the rest of the team did an excellent job to guide us and complete the legal process for our purchase. Everything went very smoothly from the quote to the completion. Thank you.

Tina and Colin recently assisted my Grandmother with her will. She assures me that she cannot fault their service and professionalism. They took her through the process step by step ensuring that everything was explained clearly and concisely to her. Thank you.

The staff, and particularly Tina, were most efficient and professional, and I felt very confident and in good hands.
I would be more than happy to recommend their services.

Backhouse Solicitors are a Team that you can trust, they will make feel you are in safe hands. Many thanks to Holli, Lucy and everyone else for the kind support.

We had a really smooth process in purchasing our house with Backhouse acting as our solicitors. Alfie and the team had been very responsive and quick. We would highly recommend them. Had a really good experience with them.

I recently purchased a new build home and Backhouse, Solicitors, were recommended by the developers that recommended their services. Their quote was very competitive for the sale of my old house and purchase of new one. The two staff who dealt with me, (Catie & Chelsea) were excellent, efficient and making everything idiot proof. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm and using them again.

We were assisted by many names at Backhouse Solicitors through the purchase of our house.

All of the staff were exceptionally polite, helpful and friendly, however special mention to Alfie Lake who oversaw our situation and was always on hand with detailed updates and quick responses!

Truly a faultless experience and thank you to Alfie and his team for making the process as smooth as possible, even with a few curveballs (not cause by Backhouse) along the way!

Very happy with conveyancing service. My late aunt's house had proved difficult to sell ("non standard construction") so went to auction - which means a tight schedule, A N Other solicitors had not been willing to deal with this (and had wasted two weeks) so it was a relief to find myself in Liz's team's competent and professional hands. They did everything needed and met the deadline.

Just used Catie and Chelsea for a second time due to the great job they did on my first purchase. I requested them both again for a sale and purchase and as always they have done an amazing job getting everything done on time and answering all my questions during my moments of panic. Special thanks to Chelsea for keeping me sane through the whole process! Would highly recommend them for anyone needing a great solicitor :)

Catie and Chelsea were nothing short of amazing when we were selling our house and purchasing our dream home. They made the process effortless and communicated with us at every point. Thank you so much. Lisa, David and Rose.

I recently worked with Minal regarding a settlement agreement and I cannot recommend their services enough.

Minal was incredibly professional and approachable. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained the process thoroughly, and provided sound, clear advice that helped me understand my options. What really impressed me was her ability to make complex legal concepts easy to understand.

Throughout the process, Minal was proactive in keeping me updated, ensuring that I was always aware of the next steps.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and trustworthy solicitor, I highly recommend Backhouse Solicitors. They genuinely care about their clients and go above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome.

Minal Backhouse provide legal services for me. I found her and the entire team very helpful, friendly and professional. Minal took time to explain everything properly. I would definitely recommend them.

Highly recommend Backhouse. Alfie Lake was fab with our house purchase conveyancing and he helped make the whole process smooth and as quick as possible. He kept us up to date regularly and answered any of our queries very quickly. Thank you!

Very professional
Excellent solicitors to use, very responsive, professional and helpful. Thank you to all at Backhouse Solicitors for helping us with our new home.excellent result for us.

Megan and Rob were a pleasure to deal with and navigated me kindly and calmly through a transaction with lots of tricky twists and turns. They were very accessible and professional. I would recommend them and I will use them again.

Great service- the admin teams were really helpful over the phone and in person, while Minal was empathetic, personable and made things easier at a tricky time.

We cannot thank the team at Backhouse Solicitors Ltd enough for their amazing support in helping us buy our first home. A special thanks to Liz and Ben, whose professionalism, patience, and expertise made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Thanks to the entire Backhouse Solicitors team for turning our dream of owning a home into reality . We are so happy and grateful for your incredible service and highly recommend you to anyone in need of a trustworthy and efficient legal team.

After researching solicitor firms with excellent reviews, I reached out to Backhouse Solicitors for assistance with my employment case and was scheduled to meet with Sarina Hayes.

Sarina was exceptional in quickly grasping the details of my case and providing clear, professional advice on the available steps. She immediately made me feel at ease, offering both reassurance and strong support in addressing my concerns. By the end of our first meeting, I was confident in her ability to represent me effectively.

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding service Sarina provided throughout the duration of my case. From start to finish, she showed unwavering dedication, ensuring every detail was carefully managed.

Sarina kept me informed at every step of the legal process, explaining my options and ultimately securing a successful outcome.

Her professionalism, thoroughness, and attention to detail were key in handling my case. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking skilled and reliable employment legal representation.

Thank you Sarina and Backhouse Solicitors !!

I couldn’t recommend Backhouse Solicitors enough. I had the pleasure of dealing with Liz and Ben and throughout the whole process I always received not just instant responses to questions but detailed and very well thought out answers. Going with Backhouse was the best decision I made in the whole process and it made everything a lot more straight forward! Thanks again!

We instructed Backhouse to help us with the repayment of our Help to Buy loan. Becky was exceptional and handled everything so quickly and professionally. She kept us up to date every step of the way and we could not be more thankful. We have had some bad experiences with other companies in the past but Becky has restored our faith! She is a real asset to the team. Thanks so much!

Rob and Megan handled my purchase conveyance, they went above and beyond, quick responses and kept me within the loop and worked with me they were amazing can’t thank them enough.

We have recently used Backhouse Solicitors for a flat purchase in Chelmsford. We had the pleasure of being helped by Mel and Madalina. Although we got caught by the rise in the stamp duty, they really have could not done anymore to help us. Thank-you both, you were very helpful.

Brilliant Chelmsford team who made the legal process of buying and selling a property so easy.

Catie and Chelsea were great to work with, they stayed on top of everything, with no chasing needed. Overall was a smooth process throughout and we are very grateful to them both for making our first home buying experience a good one!

Absolutely brilliant service from Backhouse. Willing to take my numerous phone calls so they have the patience of a saint. Holli and Lucy worked tirelessly to get our house sale and purchase completed. Thank you both and sorry to be such a testing client! Would definitely recommend and will definitely use them again, not that we plan to move for a very long time!!

Alfie Lake and Lucy were, friendly, polite and professional. Always ready with advice and support and responded promptly when requested.
Thank you both for your unfaltering service.
Would strongly recommend this company.

Helpful and informative staff, minimum of noise throughout - what's not to like? !!

Robert and Megan were excellent helping me to sell my late mother's retirement flat. Great communication right from the beginning, I was never left wondering what was going on. They were quick to chase up any delays and to keep me informed of progress. Any issues or mistakes were dealt with quickly. I will definitely be using them again.

Excellent service in assisting in my company sale. Keeley especially was most professional and courteous in such a difficult and stressful time. I would highly recommend this company and will certainly use their services again

I have been working with Backhouse for the past 6 months on a business transaction that completed last week. Their professionalism from the very start up to completion was exceptional and we managed to finalise the deal within the provided timeframes. I would highly recommend their commercial services.

Since 07.23, Backhouse have been very supportive and informative regarding my Case and Sarina Hayes frankly couldn't be more supportive during this period.

Sarina continued to keep me informed and assuring to when it started to become stressful or even emotional, Sarina had nothing but support for myself. She would always run through everything before proceeding, advising next steps and was always available to contact in case of any further enquiries.

I also want to mention the employees in Reception were always welcoming and friendly towards me, with fast responses, understanding and great communication.

I honestly could not have negative things to say with Backhouse and particularly Sarina, who if anyone has for a case or matter, I would put 100% of my faith in her and the team.

I can't thank them enough for their support for myself in what was a very difficult and emotional period of my life.

Thank you all again!

Melanie and her team were brilliant. My move proved to be a difficult one but I was kept up to date throughout the process. Would highly recommend Bachouse.

From our initial contact to obtain a quotation for conveyancing through to exchange of contracts and legal completion solicitor Liz Searle and paralegal Ben Mowl provided a faultless and excellent service. The entire process was made stress free by their professional expertise which is a rare thing when selling and buying property. Wonderful customer service like this is hard to find these days so we would not hesitate for a second to recommend Backhouse Solicitors.
