Battens Solicitors Reviews 

The conveyance team slightly lost the personal touch.

Mo Byers is the best solicitor I have ever dealt with, she is so responsive and provides a FAB service.

Battens and more especially Naomi have been looking after my elderly parents and their affairs for many years. The service provided is outstanding. Both very professional and efficient with the added bonus of caring about their clients. I would highly recommend Battens and continue to trust them fully!

Battens Dorchester accepted instruction to act in my purchase of a property. Two weeks later they decided that as it was a second floor apartment in a two storey building they would not act. Wasted time all round, no apology. Proceeding fine with new solicitor

Had great advice from Iain on how to deal with a construction company & a new build defect which resulted in an agreable settlement.

Jen Haynor was brilliant as our solicitor during a recent house purchase. She was responsive and considerate with her advice and always willing to put it into plain English. We had some demanding deadlines which didn't phase her, and I would highly recommend Battens and Jen.

The team at Battens were incredible. So friendly, helpful and super efficient. We used them for a house move and cannot rate them highly enough, we had a stressful move but they had it in hand at every stage. Thank you!

We really can’t recommend Battens enough!! For over 5 years Kate helped us through a really difficult time in so many ways and did so much for us. We were kept informed every step of the way, and everything was taken care of professionally, promptly, precisely and with care! Thank you so much for everything! 😊

We had to take Battens to the ombudsman for mis handling the will of a family member. We won and they had to pay compensation. They don't apolagise, despite being proven to be wrong. Never use this company, they made a very difficult situation very much worse.

Tina Tippett, ably assisted by Cathy Morgan, handled my mother's house sale impeccably. A house sale is always stressful so it was great to have an exceptional team on side. Highly recommended

This law firm failed at vital moments of their 'representation' of me by failing to submit a Defence Statement form in a case heard at Yeovil County Court .

If they had submitted the page of the Defence response, I might have stood a chance of avoiding a Bankruptcy order.

A complaint has gone to the Legal Ombudsman and I will find it somewhat baffling if the Ombudsman's conclusions are not fully in my favour when they have completed their investigation.

After years of good service, Battens has let us down. A week to open a file. Another week lost because the responsible person was on unannounced annual leave and did not get someone else to stand in and advance the matter. The managing director apologised, but does not agree such delay is important.

Jen Haynor managed our house conveyancing along with Anne Kendall both were very efficient knowledgable, helpful and effectively handled issues as they arose and in doing so provided sound advice.

Our contact with Battens began with Adam Hillier when my mother in law died and it was his helpful and professional approach which led to us instructing Battens to subsequently manage our house conveyancing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Battens in the area they have acted for us

The case was a building dispute where poor building work was being held to account under the Sale of Goods Act. What should have been a simple and easy case (even the defendant admitted they would lose) was badly managed with poor communication and a lacklustre approach resulting in a substantial loss of costs against what was spent to secure damages of only 64% of the initial claim. I can't comment on the competence displayed but it was not a successful outcome despite winning the case.

Selling my mum's house and was assigned to Tina Tippett at Battens,who has been informative and a pleasure to deal with . Excellent service from start to finish.

Fantastic experience using Battens Solicitors, Very friendly & efficient service.
I would definitely recommend

We have used Battens for almost thirty years and could not be happier with the service we have received. They are still our solicitors of choice, despite the fact we moved to London in 2005. A deed of variation on a previous loan agreement was just drawn up by Brian Levine. He was responsive, patient and incredibly efficient. Done and dusted in no time. Kudos!

First class, personal service excellent. Good advice throughout with no complications. Very quick completion.

We wholeheartedly recommend Battens following our excellent experience during house conveyancing. In particular, we'd like to thank and praise Mo Byers for her efficiency, attention to detail and all round great service. She is also lovely! She made everything extremely easy and stress-free for us.

Would like to thank Emma Taylor and Emily for al there hard work we are both so greatful.. would definitely recommend.. The buy of our first house was made with ease.. Thank you again
