Don’t take our word for it…

Moore Barlow stepped into the breach at a time when we were undertaking the biggest property transaction in our history. They were nothing but highly professional, available, helpful and patient.

Legal 500, 2025

The commercial property team are extremely pragmatic and always work in the best interest of the client. The people are all knowledgeable and hardworking. They are able to translate complex legalese into plain English.

Legal 500, 2025

As our own business moves from start-up to growth mode, Moore Barlow have continued to scale and develop their service proportionally to meet our developing needs. They continue to adapt to our new systems, work collaboratively with us to ensure transparency in matters, and increase pace in delivery. We look forward to continuing to do business with them in the coming years.

Legal 500, 2024

Moore Barlow is known for residential and commercial development expertise. The firm continues to act for national and regional house builders, and it is also equipped to handle property finance, landlord and tenant matters and investment work. Its clients also benefit from the firm’s knowledge of agricultural property. In addition, the team is noted for its expertise in property transactions in the leisure industry.

Chambers & Partners, 2024

Moore Barlow’s property partners have an in-depth understanding of their area backed by familiarity with their clients and their businesses gained over decades of experience.

Chambers & Partners, 2024

The team’s focus on our needs and responsiveness makes it feel like we have in-house legal counsel. We have several active matters at any one time, and they have worked with us to develop continually-improving management systems to ensure everyone is up to date with what is happening.

Legal 500, 2023

We have had an incredibly positive experience working with Moore Barlow, especially considering that we are new to the UK property market. Their responsiveness, extensive knowledge, and clear communication have truly made them stand out. We were impressed by their considerate approach throughout the sales process, which made the entire experience feel both professional and personable. I highly recommend Moore Barlow for their exceptional service and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.

Emma Plumridge – BoKlok Sales and Marketing Director

A competent, professional organisation that we are grateful to have on our side. The Moore Barlow team have proved patient, and highly flexible, supporting us as we develop our acquisition strategy, and dealing efficiently with the many landlords’ solicitors that are not normally comfortable with our market. For us, the biggest plus is that we can be confident that, where matters are dragging on, it is the landlord that we need to be chasing, not Moore Barlow. They work very well with us to ensure that they/we are never holding up a transaction, and so together we demonstrate absolute professionalism.

Legal 500, 2022

From our numerous dealings with the firm there is clear evidence of a team spirit. Each member of the team works to a high standard and you have confidence with whoever you are dealing with that the task will get done. They are always helpful and will go out of their way to answer any queries we may have.
