Testimonials
Thank you for all of your hard work and for keeping us updated with what was happening - and sometimes what was not happening.😊 You have helped to make what is usually a very stressful process relatively stress free.
Karen Arscott was fantastic, she helped my step-mum through a very tough sale following my fathers untimely passing at the beginning of the year, her help, advise and contact throughout the sale was amazing, Karen is without doubt one of the best, I would highly recommend her services.
Lovely experience with Karen Arscott of Bate & Albon, under sometimes trying circumstances! 5 star service :-) Loved the (very) early morning emails, lol.
Karen and Danny were amazing from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and quick to act! All you can ask for in a solicitor. Highly recommend and would use again. Big thank you to Karen and Danny!!
I recently used Bate & Albon Solicitors to buy a property. They were slightly cheaper than other Solicitors that I approached, and I found that Danny & Karens service was very professional and smooth flowing. No problems at all, and all completed in 2 Months. I would definitely recommend and use them again. - from another satisfied customer!
Trustworthy and professional solicitor Karen spoke to us in language we could understand and helped us through all the legal processes surrounding making our dream home happen! We have been very grateful for her support and communications throughout.
Karen has been absolutely fantastic throughout our buying and selling process. She has made it as stress free as possible through her excellent communication. Would highly recommend to all. Thank you again.
Karen did an amazing job on our conveyancing and made everyone else in the chain look slow.
We used them when buying a house. Great service , very communicative and very efficient! Can't recommend them enough.
I used Bate and Albon for the sale of two properties and the purchase of one and I couldn't be happier with the service I received--absolutely superb. Almost every time I called my solicitor she picked up the phone and was happy to help or reassure me. In short: fantastic; would use this firm again, no question at all.
Karen and Danny were an absolute pleasure to work with, and made the purchasing of my first flat a complete breeze, I would definitely work with them again in the future and recommend them to anyone in the Worthing area looking for a solicitor.
Karen is a fantastic solicitor, quick to respond and deal with any queries and very thorough; in laymen's terms, she 'has your back' throughout the whole process. Overall great experience, and would highly recommend Karen's services!
Outstanding support from Karen Arscott at Bate and Albon on both our sale and purchase. Excellent communication and everything done on a very timely basis. Karen was a pleasure to deal with also! Highly recommended.
Karen and her team helped me with the purchase of my flat. She made things so smooth and easy. Thank you.
Thank you Karen, good working with you as you are always on the ball and we know what is happening at each stage. Many others (from experience) are not proactive and wait for things to happen which prolongs the process and makes it far more stressful than it needs to be. We would not go to anyone else, so until the next time ...
I had a very difficult house sale/purchase and there were several times I thought it was going to go wrong. Karen Arscott, my solicitor at Bate & Albon made the entire experience as pain free as possible. I asked lots of, what I am sure were stupid, questions and she never, ever minded. She came back to me sympathetically professionally, punctually and somehow managed to keep my calm throughout. I have recommended her to several of my friends already and will absolutely use her again if I move (which I will not)
