Olivia's Testimonials

  • I’ve recently completed a property sale with the support of BLB Solicitors, and I cannot recommend them highly enough - especially Olivia Sweet, who has been absolutely fantastic throughout. Olivia guided me through a particularly complex sale with professionalism, clarity, and real determination. Her communication was always prompt and reassuring, and she explained every step in a way that made a potentially stressful process feel far more manageable. She went above and beyond to keep things on track and to ensure exchange and completion happened smoothly, even when unexpected hurdles arose. What stood out most was Olivia’s calm, measured approach paired with a sense of urgency when it mattered most. She was not only technically excellent but also kind, thoughtful, and incredibly easy to work with. If you're looking for a solicitor who combines legal expertise with genuine care for their clients, I would strongly recommend Olivia and the team at BLB Solicitors.
