I had the privilege of working with Niroshan David on a recent legal matter, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome and the professionalism demonstrated throughout the process. From the initial consultation, it was clear that Niroshan possessed a deep understanding of the law and a keen insight into my case. One of the standout qualities was their ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring I was fully informed at every stage. They approached the case with thorough preparation and a strategic mindset, providing sound advice and realistic expectations. Thanks to their skilful advocacy, we achieved a favourable result that exceeded my expectations. Niroshan demonstrated not only technical expertise but also a genuine commitment to securing the best possible outcome for me.

Very very happy with the service from Rachel Smith and Claire Hurley. Many thanks to you both for your professionalism and the smooth process in the sale of my home. Richard T

F. Barnes recently handled the conveyancing aspect of our recent move.
Rochelle Meheux was our conveyancing solicitor and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Her professionalism, accuracy, attention to detail, communication and thoroughness is simply outstanding (Rochelle is also a very nice person). Rochelle is assisted by Claire Hurley who is similarly excellent.
Two things becames very apparent to us through this process;- don't use cheap, online conveyancing companies, as our vendors did. Do use the F. Barnes team, in particular Rochelle, to get the job done. Excellent. G Randle

Martin was absolutely fantastic every step of the way. We were dealing with the sale of my mother's property and expressed we wanted it done as quick as possible, and to get it done in such quick time was mainly down to Martin's efficiency, as well as that we were very well informed every step of the way. Fantastic experience and thank you again Martin. J Chandler

I recently sold my late mother's house and our solicitor, Chitra, was a major help in ensuring we had all the information we needed to ensure a smooth sale from our side.

Sangeet Tatum has worked with my family for many years.  She has always provided a kind and expert response and very quickly.  She goes more than the extra mile to provide excellent service and I cannot speak too highly of her.  Before Christmas this year she exceeded her own high standards for the speed and expertise with which she handled my Will redrafting in a time pressured situation.  I consider myself very lucky to know her and to be able to go to her in time of need.  SK

  I was recommended to use F. Barnes by my neighbour. I had sadly lost my Mum in March and was having some issues with her Estate. I was looking at applying for Probate myself but there is a question on the form regarding "Gift Reservation with Benefit -GROB". I phoned The Probate Helpline twice and was told both times " I did not have to declare this as more than 7 years had passed" I was a bit suspicious about this and that is when I contacted Sangeet, she immediately confirmed it did matter and had to be declared. So if it had not been for her I would have not declared this info and may have then had issues with HRMC. Both Sangeet and Sharon Ottley have been brilliant. Process did take ages but that was down to HRMC/Probate. I always got a quick reply back regarding any queries.I would highly recommend you Company and would not hesitate to use them in the future. Debra Worth 

Martin acted on my behalf in selling my house and purchasing a new build property. He explained everything and kept me up to date with progress on a regular basis.

We used F Barnes for a very upsetting reason, however we were met by such lovely people who dealt with our requirements not only in a professional manner but also friendly. We had Sangeet dealing with our case and her secretary, Sharon, both who we feel went above and beyond in the way that they dealt with our matters.Sarah 

I cannot express my gratitude enough with the service experienced at F Barnes. Following the breakdown of my relationship and consequently transfer of equity of the jointly owned property, Tiina made it so much more bearable and expertly guided me through the whole process.

From the first meeting with Martin we felt assured and comfortable that we had made a good choice .Throughout the whole process, he and Stephanie kept us informed and in touch with how things were progressing. They were professional and approachable and made light of what could have been an uncomfortable task coinciding with Covid 19 and all the inconveniences associated. We were highly satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to use their services again. Ernest Collins 

I first met Tiina Juhanson a year or two ago to discuss the delicate question of divorce in quite general terms. At that very first meeting she impressed me with her understanding of the sensitivities involved in such a potentially traumatic subject. Later, when I was ready to progress matters, she led me through the process and enabled me to understand what would happen and what to expect. Now, with divorce completed, I cannot say that the process is anything less than difficult to come to terms with - but Tiina's sympathetic guidance made the journey bearable and far less confrontational  than it might otherwise have been.In practical terms Tiina was supportive, efficient and reassuringly "with me" all through the various steps that have to be addressed. I am most grateful to her and I recommend her services unreservedly. Ron B

I was recommended to use F. Barnes Solicitors by my Estate Agents, Keystone properties of Collier Row. Right from my initial contact with this solicitors. I found them reliable, professional and their communication skills were efficient and they regally informed me of where I was during my house purchase and the selling of my original home.Although I have used F.

The staff came out of the office and checked everything and immediately returned (After photocopying) any items I produced. If not I could scan and send via Email, any further documentation they required from my end.Finally I sincerely believe that F. Barnes solicitors are an asset to anybody who use their services.

Following the death of two close family members, I was recommended to F. Barnes by a friend who had also used them on two different occasions. I cannot praise Sangeet and her team highly enough for all the excellent work and assistance offered especially at such a sad time. Sangeet was extremely friendly and helpful with all my concerns and queries and dealt with both probates in a very professional and timely fashion and relieved a great deal of stress for me.

My interaction with Sangeet Tatem and Andrew Liddell was for approximately 2 years following my mothers death. They dealt with the probate and litigation issues very competently and professionally at a very difficult time fr me as I was dealing with a very intransigent and irrational sibling. I am happy that the litigation was successfully concluded. Thank you for the good work. B Saddi

My parents used F Barnes Solicitors for the first time in 1955 when they purchased their first house. They also used F Barnes for their wills and after my father died in 1992 they looked after the sale of my parents house and the purchase of a flat for my mother. They also have looked after my mothers will which did have a couple of adjustments over the years. Most recently they looked after the sale of my mother’s flat after her death in August 2017. On the six or so times that I’ve had meetings with them I’ve found them to be professional, courteous but above all efficient. I can highly recommend F Barnes Solicitors. They are a pleasure to deal with. M. A. Chapman Hertfordshire   

I was very pleased and satisfied with the conveyancing carried out by Katrina Lewis and Linda Thorne.  My main dealings were with Linda and she was always most helpful in seeing me through with the process. It was a long drawn out matter but she tried to keep me calm and advised me on each new development. Eleanor Coyte

We used F Barnes Solicitors, Collier Row for a sale and purchase. From the start Tracey Levins and Shan were excellent. They kept us up to date with any issues and promptly replied to any call or query we had. When our chain became unstable, (due to issues above us) and was at risk at collapsing, they did everything they could to get us to exchange and completion within very tight time constraints as our buyers mortgage was about to expire. I have no doubt that hadn’t it been for their hard work we wouldn’t be in our new home now. I’d highly recommend using F Barnes. Anthony Schrier

"Tiina Juhanson was recommended to me for my divorce by a solicitor friend of a friend's brother. Tiina's reputation preceded her and I knew if my divorce ended up in court she was absolutely the right solicitor to represent me and I felt confident that she would achieve the best possible settlement for myself and my son. I cannot thank her enough for all her support over a whole year and for making a very stressful and difficult situation as simple and easy as possible for me"  Ms D Carter

We really appreciate all the hard work that Katrina and Linda did as we know that the purchase of our property would not have happened without you.Stephen W, Brentwood

The level of professionalism I received from Katrina Lewis and her assistant Linda Thorne was second to none.  I felt totally confident from the very beginning with my house sale and purchase were being dealt with with the utmost of care.
My questions and answers were dealt with almost immediately, they were both friendly, courteous and very helpful in every matter. Their work was to the very highest of standards.  I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any potential client.D Ansell Dagenham

I instructed Martin Lawrence whilst at a recent auction venue he was attending.
I will definitely use F Barnes services for buying and selling houses and all matters relating to this in the future as I was extremely pleased and would not hesitate to recommend the company. A Punko – Stratford
