Google7 months agoWe had a very positive experience with James E Barnes Solicitors, especially working with Jim Barnes and his team.
The service throughout our lease extension was professional, efficient, and well-organised. Communication was clear at every stage, and we always felt supported and well advised. We are very grateful for their help and would highly recommend their services.

Google5 months agoI was recently the buyer in a property transaction in which the seller used the services of this conveyancing firm.
Completion was delayed by a day as Mr Barnes had not obtained an undertaking to remove a charge from the superior leasehold title, despite there being nearly two months between exchange and completion and repeated chasers from my conveyancer. Throughout the transaction, Mr Barnes was dismissive of my solicitor’s enquiries, with some of his emails being downright rude. Matters had to continuously be escalated through the estate agent directly to the seller to achieve any progress. I was advised by my solicitor to abandon the transaction as it was so difficult to get even the most basic of documents back from Mr Barnes. The transaction happened despite Mr Barnes, certainly not thanks to him.

Google5 months agoI’ve used this firm for two purchases now and would highly recommend.
It’s honestly rare to find conveyancing solicitors that are actually good. Emma in particular has been amazing, really responsive and proactive, and she helped push my last sale through despite loads of delays. Made a stressful process feel much more manageable. I’ve recommended them to everyone I know and will continue to do so!

Google9 months agoI've used James E Barnes Solicitors for many years now for their conveyancing services.
This year, they worked on both the sale of my London flat and the purchase of a house in Cambridge with my husband. Emma El-Mahrouki handled both and, as ever, did the most amazing job. Both were quite lengthy processes, but Emma was a continual font of knowledge and support. In fact, we're not sure where we'd be if she hadn't worked so tirelessly throughout, and with the utmost professionalism, attention to detail and, thankfully, humour just when it was needed. As a result, my husband and I thoroughly recommend James E Barnes Solicitors and their conveyancing expertise.

Google11 months agoGreat Conveyancing Services – Highly Recommended!
I recently used James E Barnes for conveyancing services. Everything went well and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The entire process was handled profesionally. Emma kept me informed throughout the whole (lengthy) process. All questions answered, all emails responded to immediately. The whole transaction was completed seamlessly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma to anyone needing reliable, friendly, and top-notch conveyancing services. Truly outstanding work!
