This is the 4th time that we have used Burton and Co. This time was rather more complicated due to us selling our shared ownership home and buying a new build 350 miles away. Julie in particular has b... See more

Selling a house
Selling a house.
First class service.
A thoroughly superb selling experience.
Felicity and Alex we efficient, professional and made the whole process easy and stress free.
Thank you both.
RTB PURCHASE
We did a council right to buy and from the beginning until the end when it was completed Burton & Co was with us all the way they kept us informed in every matter.
We used this solicitor firm as its office was local to our village.
We would definitely recommend them to family and friends.
I put my faith into the family law…
I put my faith into the family law solicitor and they didnt fight my case enough and allowed the local authority to do what they wanted , even though it was breaching discrimination, human rights , perjury and so forth . None of this is remotely legal ; and children are getting taken by the local authority too easily . I went through traumatic court hearings and was left to deal with what can be done next . I may as well have dealt with the court myself . I’m absolutely disgusted this is being allowed in the family court .
Efficient friendly service
James was extremely helpful and provided a friendly and efficient service. Would recommend for any legal support no matter how small or large (in our case small).
Iver 18 months and still waiting Mr french!
It's been 18 months since mr French began handling my late aunts estate and still it's going on!
The sale handled by felicity lacey went smoothly and I would not hesitate to say she was great.
The rest is just an unbelievable shambles. No calls returned, no answers. It wasn't even a complicated matter. My review would be AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!
First class experience and exceptional…
First class experience and exceptional help from James, who accommodated us at short notice.
Burton conveyancing - excellent
Burton have been handling the sale of my mothers bungalow. Despite several difficulties thrown at us by the buyers, the service given has always been measured and very thoughtful. Suleman and Taylor have both been excellent.
For conveyancing, I would highly recommend
Absolutely first class level of…
Absolutely first class level of expertise and excellent customer care from Felicity Lacey, partner, who provided impeccable and exceptional service and successfully handled the simultaneous sale of my old house in Lincolnshire AND the purchase of my new home in Suffolk.
Always calm; never ruffled and so hard working Felicity was charming, patient and assisted by the hard working Alex Barnett and members of the office crew.
For all legal matters - including Wills, the firm of Burton & Co which is one of Lincoln's oldest and most well established law firms is THE firm to go with. Their reputation has remained first class for over a century and they are well respected by their clients.
I wouldn't go anywhere else and nor should you.
A house sale
I was selling the house on behalf of my dad apart from a little wobble in the middle as my original solicitor went on maternity leave,soon got back on track and now all done and completed
I did find emails got replied to a lot quicker then a phone call
Absolutely fabulous service
Absolutely fabulous service. Beth was informative, helpful and supportive throughout the entire process - couldn’t thank the team more!
Avoid!
I wish I had never heard of Burton & Co! More than five years since they took on the task of administering my late husband's estate and I am still awaiting a resolution.
Initially, I was very favourably impressed with their courtesy, helpfulness and kindness but, gradually, this all fell by the wayside and they stopped responding to phone messages and emails.
In the light of the many favourable reviews here, perhaps I have just been unlucky but I can only speak from my one experience. In the context of Wills & Probate, my advice would be to Avoid, Avoid, Avoid this company.
I shall certainly be placing future legal business elsewhere.
Very reliable solicitors
Very reliable solicitors. Acted as our conveyancer’s. Can thoroughly recommend. Quick to act and informative throughout. Thanks to Suleman Ali and Taylor and Simone for an impeccable service.
Extremely Professional
It was 25 years since we last went through the process of buying and selling a house. Patricia Bethany and Evie took us through the process with ease. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was very prompt. They made the process easy and as stress free as possible. Extreme professional and caring.
Fantastic service
Fantastic communication from both Claire Addlesee and James Kennedy! Helped throughout my case very professional and extremly friendly. Highly recommend for family law.
EXCELLENT SERVICE
Following a very stressful business situation and intimidation from the other party, James Kennedy was excellent in helping us reach a conclusion. His knowledge is excellent and was always efficient and prompt with correspondence.
Highly recommended
I can highly recommend Jayne from Burton & co
I can’t recommend Jayne from Burton & Co. Solicitors highly enough. She represented me through the property and financial aspects of my divorce, and her support was exceptional from start to finish. Jayne combined professionalism with genuine care and understanding, which made a difficult time much more manageable. She was always clear, calm, and reassuring, explaining everything in a way I could understand and giving me the confidence to stand my ground when it mattered. Thanks to her, I achieved a fair and positive outcome, and I’ll always be grateful for her guidance. If you’re going through a challenging situation and need someone who truly has your back, Jayne is exactly who you want in your corner.
Divorce is a terrible thing to have to go through but made easier working with Jayne Coddington
Through the sadness of having to go through the torment of a second divorce I was nurtured through the low points that inevitably brings with Jayne Coddington who helped me through this terrible time in my life.
Thank you Jayne for helping me through that again.
The only choice for family law
The due care & attention from Jayne & Patricia was incredible and I cannot thank them or the wider team enough.
Throughout the course of my working with the team, they were professional, courteous and (most importantly) incredibly knowledgeable.
Instructing a solicitor can be a difficult choice but the Burton & Co team made everything so simple that I cannot imagine using any other firm again.
Very efficient service
Very efficient service, excellent communication and easy to get hold of!
Property Purchase Experience
I recently engaged **Burton & Co Solicitors** for the conveyancing process on a property purchase, and overall, I was satisfied with their service. Their team demonstrated professionalism and attention to detail, particularly in managing the legal documentation and ensuring compliance throughout the transaction.
However, there were minor delays in communication at times, which could be improved to streamline the process further. That said, their expertise in handling the legal aspects provided reassurance, and the matter was resolved satisfactorily.
I would recommend **Burton & Co Solicitors** for property transactions, with the suggestion that they enhance responsiveness to keep clients consistently informed.
