It's Feedback Friday!

There's nothing better than hearing from a client who has come back to us, and this week we're sharing a lovely review for Adam and our Conveyancing team:

"I have used BBE before and had no hesitation in using their services again. The conveyancing team were always available to talk through any concerns. Emails were replied to promptly and all information was shared and explained."

Moving home comes with plenty of questions along the way, so having a team who are on hand to talk things through and keep you informed can make all the difference.

Thank you for choosing BBE again. If you're buying, selling or remortgaging, our Residential Property team would be happy to help: https://www.bbelaw.co.uk/services-for-you/residential-property/our-conveyancing-team/

What actually happens on completion day? 🏡

After weeks of searches, enquiries and paperwork, completion day is the point where your property purchase finally becomes official, but it isn't always clear what's going on behind the scenes.

On the day, your conveyancer arranges for the remaining funds to be sent to the seller's conveyancer. Once those funds have been received, completion has legally taken place and the estate agent can be authorised to release the keys. If you're buying and selling as part of a chain, things can take a little longer, as each transaction depends on the one before it, so your conveyancer should keep you updated throughout the day. Once completion is confirmed, it's time to collect the keys and get moving.

Our Residential Property team can guide you through the conveyancing process from start to finish. Read our completion day guide here: https://bit.ly/4cfuRT0 or call us on 01253 362 500.

FAQ: Do I have to accept a settlement agreement?

It's a question our Employment team is asked a lot, and the short answer is no. If your employer offers you a settlement agreement, you don't have to sign it simply because it has been put in front of you.

A settlement agreement is a legally binding agreement used to resolve an employment dispute or to agree the terms on which your employment will come to an end. The terms can cover things such as a payment, your leaving date and an agreed reference, and in return you will usually agree not to bring certain legal claims against your employer.

Before signing anything, it's important to understand exactly what you're agreeing to. In fact, for a settlement agreement to be legally valid, you must receive independent legal advice on it, and the terms can be discussed and negotiated before anything is finalised.

If you've been offered a settlement agreement and aren't sure what it means for you, our Employment team can talk you through it in plain English: https://www.bbelaw.co.uk/services-for-you/employment/settlement-agreements/

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day 🧠

It's a day to recognise the importance of mental health and wellbeing, and to celebrate the people, conversations and communities that help make a difference to those around them.

This year's theme is "Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change", which is all about listening to people with lived experience of mental health challenges and making sure their voices are part of the decisions that affect them.

At BBE, we know that sometimes talking things through can be the first step towards making sense of a difficult situation. If what's on your mind happens to be a legal matter, our team is here to help with that too, with clear advice and no pressure.

Over £1 million secured for 14 clients injured in workplace accidents
Over recent months, our Personal Injury team has recovered a combined £1,020,000 in damages for 14 people who were seriously injured while simply doing their job, from rigs, building sites and factory floors to kitchens, cafés and care settings.

The settlements include £160,000 for a rig worker whose shoulder injury required surgery, £130,000 for a housekeeper who fractured her ankle in a tripping accident, and £125,000 for a forklift truck driver whose accident led to the amputation of the little finger of the Claimant’s non-dominant hand

As Director Paul Stanley puts it: "An accident at work can turn someone's life upside down overnight." Behind every one of these settlements is a client who faced surgery, time away from work, worry, and real financial pressure. Securing the right outcome provided vital support and made a lasting difference to them and their families
Well done to Paul Stanley, Clare Welsby and Sharon Rigby, who guided each client through their claim.

The school year brings enough to organise without adding disagreements between two households into the mix.

For separated parents, term time can raise all sorts of practical questions. Who does the school run? Who pays for uniform and trips? What happens with parents' evenings, school clubs or inset days? There are legal considerations too, particularly around parental responsibility and the bigger decisions about your child's education.

Our latest Family Law article looks at the practical and legal issues separated parents may need to think about during the school year, including how schools should communicate with both parents, how decisions about education should be made, and what to do when parents can't agree. It also explains how a written parenting plan can help keep arrangements clear as circumstances change.

If you need advice about child arrangements, parental responsibility or co-parenting, our Family & Divorce team is here to help. Call us on 01253 362 500.

Employment Tribunal time limits have changed, and it's worth knowing where you stand.

From 1 October 2026, the time limit for bringing most Employment Tribunal claims has increased from three months to six months. In practice, this means an employee who believes they have been unfairly dismissed, discriminated against or otherwise treated unlawfully at work will generally have longer to decide whether to bring a claim.

That said, the extension doesn't remove the need to act promptly. Employment claims still involve strict deadlines, the relevant start date will depend on the circumstances, and Acas Early Conciliation remains part of the process for most claims. If something has happened at work that concerns you, it's worth getting advice early rather than waiting, so you can decide whether to raise it internally or take more formal action with a clear picture of your options.

Our Employment team advises both employees and employers on workplace disputes, including Employment Tribunal claims, in plain English and with no legal jargon. Find out more on our website: https://www.bbelaw.co.uk/services-for-you/employment/employment-tribunals/ or call us on 01253 362 500.

Legal advice should leave you knowing what happens next 🤔

When people first contact a solicitor, they don't always know exactly what they need. Often, they simply know that something has gone wrong and they want to understand their options, which is why that first conversation matters so much.

At BBE, we take the time to understand what you're dealing with, explain the legal position clearly and talk through the options available to you, so you come away knowing what to expect next. Whether you're dealing with a family matter, moving home, making a Will, recovering compensation after an injury or facing a dispute, our teams are here to help.

Clear advice in plain English, with no legal jargon. Find out more about how we work: https://bit.ly/4oue6c2 or give us a call on 01253 362 500.
