Buddle McCleary Kennedy received praise for property and estate law services, with one reviewer commending staff member Jade's work on a house purchase and sale. However, a client reported being charged significantly more than expected for purchase and sales contracts, characterising the experience as unaffordable and poor value. Most recent feedback highlighted professional service and approachable staff dynamics. The firm's reputation centres on property law work, though billing practices appear inconsistent across client experiences.

As a result of a conflict of interest, I selected this firm over my usual one for purchase and sales contracts, and was subsequently charged double the amount I had paid to the other firm in the past, leading me to view the experience as a total rip-off and not recommendable to anyone.
Great service from Jade for the perchance and Sale of our house. So Informitive
Very professional property and estate lawyers.
Excellent
Always a good vibe, very professional and the staff are the best
