Ross Silviter provided an excellent Service

Ross Silviter provided an excellent conveyancing service for us. First we sold our property on a very fast time scale dictated by our purchaser. They all said it could not be achieved . Ross and his team met the dates for Exchange and then Completion on time. Six months later we purchased another property and although not such a demanding time scale there were complications. Ross always responded to our queries very quickly and provided advice and were patient with us when we raised any questions. Should we need to we would want Ross and his team to handle any conveyancing for us and would not hesitate to recommend Battens in the future

Excellent personal injury claim lawyers

Elaine Eagar and Michelle Green both advised me on a personal injury claim. Throughout an almost one year process, they were extremely contactable and prioritised my claim, despite its modest size. I thank Elaine particularly. She was a pleasure to deal with and sought out the largest compensation package possible. I would highly recommend Batten’s to anyone with a personal injury claim.

Excellent service

Excellent, professional and efficient service provided by Ross and his conveyancing team at the Yeovil office. They made complex information regarding my transaction straightforward to understand and answered my many questions promptly. The fees were clearly set out from the start and the transaction moved forward swiftly thanks to the hard work of the team. I would definitely recommend Battens to friends and family.

Everybody says that moving home is stressful

Everybody says that moving home is one of life's more stressful activities. They are so right. However, Ross and Mandy steered us through the legal aspects of selling our property. They remained calm whatever the obstacle. They dealt promptly but firmly with last minute questions and the pressure from a chain. At all times they were completely professional and always available. They certainly helped to keep the stress level manageable. Many thanks for a successful conclusion.

I cannot praise Rachel Perry-Masterman enough in our dealings with her for the conveyancing of our new house. It was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. Rachel was extremely efficient, totally transparent, caring and friendly at every turn. I would recommend Rachel at Battens to anyone wishing to work with a solicitor who is compassionate and utterly reliable and professional in every way. Thank you!

Absolutely top notch service!

Absolutely top notch service from start to finish. Naomi and Hannah were professional, highly approachable and friendly, all emails and queries were answered promptly and nothing was too much trouble. Buying a property can be very stressful at times but I feel that having people such as these to deal with made the whole process so much easier. I will recommend to all and send our thanks for a job well done.

A cracking service from a cracking team.

This is the second time we have entrusted our home sale and purchase with Ross and his team including Mandy and Charlie and we have experienced a first class experience throughout. I can not recommend them enough to be honest. Thank you so much for all your help and guidance through the entire process.

A big thank you to Nicola Pugsley

A big thank you to Nicola Pugsley, Clare Fox and all the team, at Battens Solicitors Bridport. We couldn't fault the excellent and professional service provided, covering the sale of my mother's property, at a very difficult and stressful time for her and our family.

Great service at Battens Yeovil

Jen Haynor was our solicitor at Battens in Yeovil. She was superb in laying out all the information for us upfront and working diligently to the tight timescales we needed. There were no hidden costs and everything was well explained including referring us for advice should we need it - we didn't. Although there was an enormous amount of paperwork to get through, having Jen made this simpler and the way she laid everything out made it easy to follow. She made a stressful process far easier.

Simply the best!

Buying or selling a home is one of the three most stressful things to do in your life. But if you have Ross Siviter from Battens by your side, with his unfailing good humour, reliability and prompt super-efficiency, the sting really is taken out of it all.

We have now done it twice in the past six years, and each time Ross has held our hands, alerted us to any potential problems, calmed any troubled waters and kept us smiling throughout. He is the safest and nicest pair of hands, combined with all the legal nous you need (taking unusual and complicated transactions in his stride), and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

We hope we never have to move house again, but, if we did, he would be the first person we’d call.

Battens Solicitors Ltd Represented me in the sale of my house and purchase of a retirement flat.

I have recently sold my house and purchased a flat in Leamington Spa. For the legal process involved I engaged Battens Solicitors Ltd in Yeovil and was guided through the whole process by Mr Ross Siviter aided by his Conveyancing assistant Mandy Hutchinson.
From the start, I was listened to and asked what I expected to happen. Then all the legal stages were carefully explained to me and I was told what was expected from me.
At all times, they were both readily available to answer my concerns and I was fully kept informed as to what was happening and asked for my opinion. They were both kind, totally professional and well informed on legal matters explaining each stage to me as necessary making the whole purchase and sale a stress free smooth process from start to finish. I am very grateful for all their support and guidance and would recommend Battens without any hesitation. Thank you.

A smooth efficient process

Nicola and Clare made the sale of my house a smooth experience. Very efficient from the beginning to the end of the process, and always there with an update when required. Should I need to sell a house again, I would definitely use them again.
