I would avoid at all costs! Shocking service from start to finish. We had to continually chase for answers due to a lack of communication and felt like we were not listened to. Costs were higher than expected plus there always seemed a constant mix up with invoices, we had to always chase for a break down of costs. Still waiting for a declaration of trust requested from January 2020 and still waiting to receive this to date! Now to add insult to injury we were chased today for a bill that we had already paid, I have no faith they actually know what they are doing! Only interested in the money,

We were quoted around £1400 in total fees and at every step we encountered more and more hidden fees despite birketts 'transparent fees' our end total was £2700 which was way more than even the more expensive quotes we got to begin with from other companies. They got the job done, for a hefty price and in their own time. Communication was poor, often our house developers would say 'have your solicitors not advised you of this? We told them last week to pass info on to you'. Would not recommend using, any questioning we had of fees was addressed with a very confusing explanation written in a typical

Completely useless. Don't use them. Nice building and all that goes with it. Super artwork. Been waiting nearly three years for probate. Don't require the obviously standard reply. It won't make any difference

I used Birketts to do the conveyancing for the selling and purchase when moving house. The residential team were very professional and always were always one step ahead on the paper trail between solicitors. I wouldn't hesitate to use Birketts for anything in the future. Highly recommended!

We went for an early birds conference. Their conference room is great, fabulous roof terrace with lovely views over Ipswich. Lovely venue. The seminar was very informative, we will return!

Birketts were incredibly professional, we used their fixed fee service and it was excellent. We could not have got here without their advice. Creative Computing Club Charitable Foundation
