Rebecca and the team made everything so simple in an area my partner and I knew very little about. She communicated brilliantly from start to completion making sure that everything that we could be doing was on track and up to date. Gave us peace of mind that we were in good hands
Thank you Gul Shah
Thank you to Gul Shah he has just helped us get a difficult refinance across the line !! As a solicitor he was a breath of fresh air, chasing me for information and keeping me on the ball!!
Would definitely recommend Gul and Blacks
Buy to Let Conveyancing
Just completed two buy to lets through Blacks Solicitors in Leeds (only because we had to because they were on our lender panel) so not our usual Conveyancer’s.
Have to say Clare Brattan & Natalie Leece from Landlord Financing and Conveyancing did an absolutely fantastic job for us though. Always available, replied quickly to any queries and got our property’s through as quick as could be done.
Would definitely recommend and will be using again should the need arise.

Blacks conveyancing
the conveyancer we were allocated (Hannah) was first class throughout. One deadline of 11 November for the completion of all the legals for a bridging loan, she achieved 28 October. her communication throughout was clear, concise and efficient. i would use blacks again unhesitatingly - and theirs was the least expensive quote of three on the lender's conveyancing list
Great help from Hannah
Great help from Hannah, and Leanne to finalise an transaction swiftly.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding – Could Not Recommend Highly Enough!
I cannot praise Blacks Solicitors in Leeds highly enough! The service has been absolutely outstanding from start to finish, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Caithlin has been nothing short of exceptional. Her professionalism, dedication, attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond have been truly remarkable. She has been absolutely brilliant throughout, always approachable, incredibly knowledgeable and consistently willing to help. Nothing has ever been too much trouble, and the level of care and commitment she has shown has been second to none.
I would also like to give a special mention to Courtney, who has been equally fantastic to work with. Both have made the entire experience so straightforward and stress-free, and their communication and support have been exceptional.
It is rare to come across such a dedicated, professional and genuinely caring team. They are an absolute credit to Blacks Solicitors, and I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done.
I genuinely would not go anywhere else. I would recommend Blacks Solicitors to every single person I know without a moment’s hesitation.
An absolutely first-class service from beginning to end. Five stars simply aren’t enough!

Big thank you to Tania Gomez a credit to your company
As a first time home buyer
As a first time home buyer, I don't have any major complaints of my experience with Blacks but I would perhaps recommend another firm for other FTBs, as this does not seem to be a speciality for Blacks.
Communication was okay. I did have to pester to get responses, and it would be nice to know in advance when people are going on leave and who is providing cover so that you contact the right people and can adjust timeline expectations. As a FTB I thought that they also could have done a better job at proactively reaching out on how the process works and what should be prioritised - for example I wasn't aware that there may be a long lead time to get funds out of my LISA and the direction to do that came quite late in the process, meaning out of caution we moved back the completion date by a bit from where it otherwise would have been.
That said, it was a smooth process (no chain) and I was given all the information I needed - Blacks did prioritise my case when requested, which was appreciated, and I understand it can be hard to juggle presumably dozens of cases at once. The experience could have been better but it was fine, and as far as house buying goes, things went very smoothly in the end.
Affordable, knowledgeable and understanding
Couldn't be happier with the service I received. I had an auction, HMO purchase on a BTL Mortgage within a LTD company on a strict timeline. I got assigned Rebecca and Francesca and they were very helpful answering my questions and 1 of them was always available to help me throughout the purchase.
Very pleased and will use again.
Much more affordable than all other companies I received quotes from as well.
Excellent communication and very prompt…
Excellent communication and very prompt service. Highly recommended.
Hannah Harding was excellent
Hannah Harding was excellent throughout my whole remortgage process, I would highly recommend. Very quick and efficient.
Excellent customer care, good communication
I have used many solicitor for conveyencing over the years and Blacks is definitely up there as one of the best. Good communication and always someone at the end of the phone to take a call. Process was swift and completed on time. Rasheda was very helpful and went above and beyond on customer care. Will definitely use again.
Exceptional service from start to finish
Fantastic service from Aarifah at Black’s throughout our house sale. Communication was exceptional — there was never a call or email that went unanswered, and even when things became difficult, Aarifah remained calm, responsive and completely focused on getting the sale over the line.
We felt genuinely supported throughout and couldn’t have asked for better service. If we ever need legal support again, we wouldn’t hesitate to use Black’s. Customers for life!

I have had several experiences with Blacks and found they exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be using them again.
