Dr M Hamilton
We were delighted with all aspects of the service of our house purchase. Thank you so much to Brights for your help.
Mrs R J Bradley
Please pass on a special thank you to Simon Fothergill at Maldon for all the conveyancing activity he has worked on in the process of settling my fathers estate. At times this has been rather challenging yet he has remained rock solid and reliable at all times. I couldn't have asked for any more.
Mr M Allen
Very, very pleased with how Brights Solicitors helped on a difficult purchase.
Mr M P Scales
Thank you Amanda for all your efforts and committed support during what has clearly been a very tough time for us both, it is truly appreciated.
Mr M Allen
It was an absolutely first class service.
Mr R and Mrs G Yates
Just wanted to take a minute to say how grateful we both are for having you as our solicitor. You have been great from start to finish and made our journey so easy and stress free. We will be recommending you to all future family and friends.
Mr L Tiye and Miss C Talbot
A big thanks to Kerry Townsend from Brights Solicitors for the conveyance of my local flat. Nothing is simple these days but fortunately Kerry made the process go through at an acceptable pace. Thank you again.
Mr Frank Armes
Second time using them for the sale of a house, first included a purchase as well. Quick, efficient, and responsive and helpful. Thanks to Kerry for making a stressful time easier.
Ms Sarah Dunlevey
We really appreciate all the guidance and help over the last year and more. It wasn’t an easy situation for any of us but Lisa Dines was extremely professional and guided both of us through it all - thank you.
Mr Stuart Houldcroft
Very efficient, helpful, pro-active and friendly. Also had contingency cover in place when there was a change of personnel or staff were on holiday. Highly reccommend their service.
Mr Jeremy Manning
I can't fault the service provided by Carla and her team with the sale of my house. I would definitely recommend them.
Mrs Sheila Draper
In terms of Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney we were provided an excellent service by our solicitor Megan. We were taken through a step by step process and all of our questions were answered. Reassurances were given where necessary and the whole approach was both professional and empathetic.
Mr Freddie McMahon
I cannot recommend Brights enough! Totally put me as ease and got me through my conveyance issue in a timely fashion. Very reasonably priced too. Thank you.
Ms Hannah Bull
The sale of my property was handled professionally by Brights and I would fully recommend them to anyone requiring legal services.
Mr Peter McDonald
Thank you, Lisa, for your very efficient handling of our probate application. I am pleasantly surprised at the speed at which it has been concluded.
Mr Julian Driver
Many thanks to Carla Foster and her team at Brights Solicitors Maldon. I have used Brights many times in the past and been very happy with their service. I would highly recommend them and have always found everyone to be professional, efficient and friendly.
Liz Donovan
We've used Carla several times. Kept us informed despite some challenges at the top end of the chain . Really appreciate her efforts. Another good job. Thank you .
Mr Paul Foster
Fantastic service. Kept me informed at every step of the progress of my house purchase. Very detailed review of my property and an excellent final report. Would happily use again for anything requiring a solicitor.
Angela McDonald
Thank you (and your excellent supporting colleagues) for your hard work, patience and understanding during the process, we were both more than happy with your professionalism and assistance throughout. We were kept fully updated with relevant developments, without either of us needing to constantly badger you for info’ and anything that was required of us (signing documents etc) was clearly explained, all in good time. Thank you again for making an upsetting and worrying ordeal for both of us, as pain-free as possible.
Mr & Mrs Pain
Megan was very approachable, friendly and very professional. She was also very understanding at a difficult time for me. I was very impressed when she told me today that probate had been approved, when it was only submitted last Tuesday. That was obviously due to her attention to detail.
Mrs Yvette Hooks
Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish, Bronwyn was informative and very efficient in everything she did for our house sale and purchase. Can recommend Bights for all your conveyancing needs.
Ms Stephanie Newton
Absolutely faultless service for the recent purchase of our new house. Thorough, concise, accurate & direct communication all the way through the purchase process. Carla & her team were a pleasure to deal with & all at a very reasonable cost! Well done and a big thank you to Carla & the team at Brights, Amazing!
Mr Simon Kane
Just sold our home of 42 years with the help and excellent services of Carla Foster at Brights solicitors Maldon. Cannot speak highly enough of Carla, who throughout the selling process has kept us informed and up to date. Thank you Carla and Brights for making what can be a trying experience a comfortable and pleasant one for us.

Mr and Mrs Lumley
This is the second time we have used Brights Solicitors to sell a property. Carla’s support through both sales has been very professional and steadfast. We are in the process of buying a new property and we are extremely happy that Carla has agreed to provide conveyancing services. Carla’s diligent and pragmatic approach is very important when stress levels can easily rise.

Ms Mel Flaxman
We had the pleasure of dealing with Carla Foster at Brights over the sale of our house and were so impressed with how quickly and efficiently it was handled. We had regular communication, speedy email copies of all letters and were just generally kept well-informed of what was going on. She also kept our estate agents up to date, and we received everything to do with completion through the post the very next day after it was all done. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we will definitely be back when we find a new place!

Ms Ashley McLeish
Working with Brights Solicitors and Carla, I felt supported through the whole process of the sale - they understood my needs, progressed the sale and updated me along the way.

Mr John Flack
Great service and very efficient felt like we were in safe hands, all the staff have been very friendly and helpful. I will use Brights again and would also recommend them to others.

Mrs Yvette Lumley
Today we completed on our house and Carla and her team have been fantastic throughout what has been an exciting yet stressful time. They've kept us up to date throughout the process as first time buyers and have been superb! Thank you so much!

Mr Jamie Witham
My husband and I are extremely pleased with Hannah from your Witham office. We had our wills written out by her and we were delighted with her kindness and professionalism. Hannah had such patience with us, explaining everything to us as we had a couple of things we didn’t quite understand. This was a difficult thing for us to do and we were rather nervous about doing our wills, but Hannah put us at ease immediately. I would like to highly commend her. Thanking her and Brights for great service.

Mr & Mrs Parker
Highly recommend Carla Foster who provided a friendly & professional service during the sale of our property. Will definitely use again for any property matters.

Ms Nicola Baird
Very efficient solicitors who managed to get my sale through before the deadline of 31st March 25 when stamp duty changed. Thanks.

Mr Steve Hawkins
Bright & Sons (Solicitors) in Witham, Essex had been our solicitors for several years. When I sadly lost my dear wife Jacqueline in August 2024 I instructed them to handle my wife’s estate and as the solicitor who normally handled our affairs was retiring I was allocated to Kate Latter. She, together with her secretary Jackie Watkin, have been extremely supportive of me and have dealt with the estate happily, efficiently and quickly. Nothing has been too much trouble for them – I cannot thank them enough. Very satisfied client in Tiptree.

Mr Dallas King
Thank you so much for taking on my case and helping me finalise the sale of my property, and thank you for being so approachable, kind and professional.

Mrs Anna Maria Smith
Very helpful, prompt and efficient when dealing with our house sale, which went through on the third sale over a long period of time. Thank you for always being open, honest and supportive.

Mrs Teresa Griffiths
Bronwyn was very good and kept in touch with me throughout the whole buying experience and made the move so much easier with great value for money.

Mrs Susan Fraser
Have used Brights for various things over the last few years but more recently for a house sale and subsequent purchase. Bronwyn (Property Exec) and her PA Layla were really helpful and responsive throughout the process. There were various stresses along the way but they were supportive and professional with getting us across the finish line!

Melissa F
I had to look at applying to the court of protection for myself and my brother to become deputies for property and finance for my father. I contacted Brights solicitors in Maldon to do this for me and was looked after by Megan Luscombe. Megan was so welcoming and explained the process so clearly. Megan dealt with the online application and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. Megan responded to any calls and emails quickly and professionally, making the whole process clear and worry free. I would highly recommend Brights Solicitor to anyone and intend to use Brights again for updating my will and putting a power of attorney in place for my children and look forward to working with Megan again in the future.

Mr Bob Sadler
Kerry dealt with the sale of my flat in a very efficient and professional manner. Communication was excellent, I was always able to speak to someone when needed. Would highly recommend.

Sarah Cooper-Bunting
We are deeply appreciative of your hard work and will gladly recommend your services to others who may need legal assistance.

Mr & Mrs Hawkins
A very professional, friendly, caring and efficient service . I would highly recommend them. I would like to thank them for their hard work dealing with my late mums estate.

Mrs Katharine Harrison
I cannot give a more glowing review of Bronwyn at Brights. From the very moment we instructed her to the day we moved, no question was too much. Her responses were quick, her advice was second to none (for an extremely stressful experience!) she was professional and friendly. She made an extremely stressful move that bit easier, I wish I could give a 10 star review. If we ever move again (which I hope we don't have to) I wouldn't think twice about using Brights and have already recommended to all of my friends.

Miss Heather Froude
I recently used Brights for the purchase of a home after they came recommended by the estate agent Zoe Napier. I found them to be efficient and very courteous when dealing with them in person (their Danbury office). I dealt with Bronwyn who was always available if I needed to discuss anything (something I found to be an issue at other solicitors used in the past) and she was extremely helpful in guiding me through some of the more complex issues that arose during the process. I also liked the "fixed charge" approach which meant that from the outset, I knew what my costs would be i.e. no hidden charges! All in all, very satisfied and I would use them again.

Mr Paul Davis
As 1st time buyers we were incredibly nervous, Amy Peel at Brights guided us through the process from start to finish, she gave prompt updates and helped explain anything we didnt understand. Id like to personally thank Amy for making this a smooth process for us.
