What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing is the service that dominates accounts of this Sunderland practice, with buying and selling homes, flats and rental properties described across a broad spread of transactions. Karen Williams and Jessica Rodgers are the fee earners named most often, supported by Courtney and a reception team that customers writing about their orders describe as welcoming and approachable.

One thing mentioned again and again is how quickly queries are answered and how clearly progress is explained, with updates given without the need for chasing and legal language kept jargon free. Reviewers frequently point to that completions were achieved to agreed deadlines, including one sale complicated by an unexpected issue that the team worked hard to resolve. Landlords and long-standing clients note that the firm handles conveyancing efficiently, and the same professional, responsive manner is reported whether instructions relate to a first purchase or a repeat sale.

Office administration is said to run in an organised fashion, with appointments, paperwork and correspondence managed so that clients always know what happens next. Pricing is described as competitive for the work carried out, and the reassurance provided at each stage is credited with removing much of the stress from the moving process, including purchases that turned out to be more involved than first anticipated.

We worked with Jess and Courtney to help us buy our new home. Although the purchase ended up being longer and more complicated than we first thought, they handled it brilliantly and were incredibly responsive. Would recommend them to anyone wanting an excellent service. Thank you again!

Karen handled our case when buying our new home, and from start to finish her communication was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly quick to respond to any questions I had and made what could have been a stressful experience feel so quick and easy. I really appreciated how approachable, supportive and helpful Karen was throughout the whole process. Other members of the team I spoke to on reception were also really friendly, welcoming and helpful too. It’s been a real pleasure communicating with you Karen, and I wouldn’t hesitate at all to recommend you and the team to anyone else. Thank you for making the process so easy and helping us into our happy place🏡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We used Karen for our first home purchase 🏡 She was so friendly, helpful and patient, and always kept us updated throughout the process. She made everything feel so much easier and less stressful. I’d definitely recommend Karen to anyone, especially first-time buyers! 😊

I have both bought and sold a house with Jessica Rodgers at this firm. Both times communicated by email. I’ve been very happy with the speed and dealings with her and team. Will definitely use again in future.

I've used Jess at Kenneth M Barrow for a variety of property conveyancing matters including a Deed of Transfer and for buying/purchasing and I can highly recommend her. Her service and communication is swift and clear and even when she was on holiday her colleague was available to help so our file was never left. For our purchase they also produce a very handy document with all the information in regarding the property which we've never had before. Thanks to Jess, Ashleigh and the Team for all your help.
