OUR APPROACH
Our clients appreciate that we are straightforward, easy and friendly to deal with. We pride ourselves on growing relationships with our clients over a long period of time and we aim to anticipate our clients’ needs both during and after the transaction.
Our primary goal is to get the transaction through as quickly as possible but without diluting the quality of the advice we give... We are used to working to tight deadlines to achieve our clients’ objectives. We are proactive in getting the deal done and will often meet with clients away from the office to sign and discuss the paperwork. We are also happy to visit the property concerned if we feel this will give us a better understanding of what is involved.
We have long recognised that solicitors need to work with all parties in the transaction rather than against them. We have established good relationships with both local and regional commercial and residential agents over the years and many are happy to refer business to us on merit, knowing that we will get the job done. We have similar relationships with surveyors, accountants, bankers and financial advisors.
“One of the consistent themes is how good Barlow Robbins are at what they do, how they do it and how they communicate. All important things for our Relationship Managers.” – Peter Quilter Corporate & Commercial Regional Director, Natwest
Our primary goal is to get the transaction through as quickly as possible but without diluting the quality of the advice we give and ensuring that we protect our clients’ best interests at all times.
