What the Clients Say: 

Kirstie and Stephanie were both very helpful and informative i would highly recommend both of them great service. C Lara

“Would highly recommend F Barnes Solicitors. Have used them for a couple of cases over the last few years and have not been disappointed.Have most recently used the services of Kirstie Tompkins and her assistant Stephanie in handling our conveyancing case, in what was an excellent service. Kirstie was professional, highly responsive and has a good attention to detail. Cannot fault her or her team and would look to use them again in the future if needed to” M Humphrey’s & S Crawford 

Kirstie Tompkins and Stephanie Davison acted on our behalf on our recent house purchase and sale. This is our 4th house move and 3rd law firm we’ve used and by far the best. At no point did i have to chase for updates, everything was proactive and prompt which is the complete opposite over previous experiences. We sold and moved within 6 weeks. Not only was the service prompt and professional but also friendly and genuine which can lack in these transactions. Thank you again! B Malugani

Both Kirstie and Stephenie were extremely helpful in all aspects while acting for me. They answered any queries I had straight away explaining everything fully and kept me updated at all times. C Higgins

The conveyancing service provided by Kirstie Tomkins and Stephanie Davison during the sale of our family home was excellent. Highly recommended. Frank Symes

Kirstie is a true professional. From the very start of my property purchase she showed her knowledge, skills and commitment for the task – which in itself provided great reassurance. I remember her saying straight away how much she loves her job, which is not only an aspiring thing to hear, but also entirely true! Throughout the conveyancing process I could feel her enthusiasm and a clear willingness to help solve any issues that cropped up. As a first-time buyer, it is inevitably quite a nerve-racking experience, but the fact Kirstie was so helpful, organised, and responsible meant any stress was minimised. And she worked with such good grace – both by email and on the phone.

Property conveyancing is complex and has various moving parts; while some people may want only to deal with their own area, Kirstie clearly takes a strategic view and can understand and relate to each aspect of the process. This really makes a difference in making sure delays are not allowed to creep in unnecessarily. She is bright, able, thorough – and frankly a gem of a conveyancer. I cannot thank and recommend her enough.

Mr A Teddy

I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better service. Kirstie dealt with my house purchase from start to finish, alleviating any additional stresses you may normally face when buying a house. Kirstie is pragmatic in her work and dealt with my purchase as though I was her only client. Kirstie would always respond to my calls and emails as soon as possible and not once did I have to chase her. Her calm and sensible approach to problem solving is extremely helpful when communicating with others. Kirstie is extremely attentive which is not something I have experienced before with a solicitor. I have used Kirstie for two house purchases now and wouldn’t consider going to anyone else. I would highly recommend her work to anyone looking for an extremely knowledgeable and proactive solicitor.
