What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

First-time buyers and those moving home in the Ipswich area have given detailed accounts of their dealings with this firm, and the name Emily Turner recurs throughout. Those she acted for describe someone attentive and knowledgeable who responds quickly, frequently within hours, so that queries are answered without the need for chasing. Her habit of explaining matters in plain language rather than legal terminology is singled out by first-time buyers in particular, who found an unfamiliar process easier to follow as a result.

A frequent observation is that she works ahead of other solicitors in the chain, anticipating each stage so that deadlines are met and transactions keep moving, even where the chain is complicated or completion dates are fixed. Unusual complications arising during a sale or purchase were handled constructively, and multiple accounts note that the legal side of moving felt considerably less stressful.

Millie Jay, Louise Chew and Darren Collins also receive thanks for their assistance during a house purchase, with same-day replies mentioned. Family, employment, estate planning, immigration, insurance and property work appear in the firm's wider service listing, but the experiences described here centre on residential conveyancing, and it is the combination of clear advice, close attention to detail and dependable communication from instruction to completion that recurs throughout the feedback.

Not actually my solicitors, they are acting for the other side of my conveyancing transaction. Zero chain, some minor complications but so far we are at month 7 of the sale. At each stage the seller have reached road blocks and not been ready for the next stage of the process. It's like it comes as a surprise. Nothing is lined up, no urgency what so ever, even though it has been reiterated time after time that this is a time sensitive sale, as it's actively cost me money.

I was unsure how to find a good solicitor as everyone I'd spoken to only told me to avoid theirs. Finally a friend of a friend mentioned Birketts, and am so pleased they did. Emily Turner was fantastic and made the entire process so easy and smooth. I've already recommended her to a friend and will gladly continue to do so!

Emily Turner is amazing, from selling my properties and and buying my new home. From start to finish Emily was very helpful. Everything when smoothly. I would highly recommend. Emily, thank you.

Buying our first property was more stressful than we expected, but Emily made the legal side of things much easier to handle. She was straightforward with us from the beginning about timelines and what to expect. What we appreciated most was how Emily explained things in plain English rather than legal jargon. When we had questions (and we had plenty as first-time buyers), she'd respond quickly without making us feel stupid for asking. There were a couple of unexpected issues with the property (typical leasehold stuff) and Emily helped us navigate those with the seller efficiently. She was firm when she needed to be but always professional. Unlike some horror stories we'd heard from friends about solicitors being impossible to reach, Emily was reliable with communication and kept us updated throughout the process. If you're looking for a solicitor who's efficient, clear, and won't leave you hanging during your property purchase, we'd definitely recommend Emily from Birketts.

Emily Turner provided an exceptional conveyancing service in a recent transaction - attentive and responsive; gives excellent advice; on top of the detail; and solves problems along the way, driving the process forward. Emily is a pleasure to work with and highly recommend.

Birketts have been incredible dealing with our house purchase for us. Massive thanks to Millie Jay who put up with my endless questions, Louise Chew and Darren Collins who were all so helpful. I often got replies same day and never had to chase for a response on anything. Thank you all so much for everything!

Birketts have been amazing to deal with. My legal conveyancer, Emily, has been professional and reassuring at all times especially during a stressful period. I would highly recommend her and the company for future legal matters.
