House Purchase
I have just used Claire Bell for the second time and, once again, she has provided an excellent service. The first time was for a house sale and this time for a house purchase and, in both cases, her and her team always kept me informed of what was going on and I always had completely confidence in her. She always returned my calls promptly and it was never any trouble if I wanted to go in and see her. It is really comforting to have the personal touch and know that the person providing the service knows exactly what they are doing. I will definitely be using her service again in the future.

Excellent Solicitor
Claire Bell at Pellys has recently completed the Transfer of my fathers property. To make sure we completed before the increased Stamp Duty deadline, she and her team went above and beyond to complete the transaction. She was extremely professional as well as very friendly and informative and we are very grateful.

Pelly’s conveyancing team
Very happy with Claire Bell and the team despite pressures caused by new stamp duty rules and charges coming into force 1st April 2025.
Claire is a great leader of the team and her professionalism shines through when it really matters. Claire is dogged and focuses on detail and leaves no stone unturned. She is so good at knowing when to push the other side, which paid dividends for me.
I thoroughly recommend her to be your conveyancing solicitor.

A brilliant service and wonderful staff
We contacted Claire after using her previously as we found her to be a brilliant solicitor. We were not disappointed the second time round. She is supportive, professional yet empathetic and deals with everything promptly. Highly recommend Claire. Cannot fault her! Thankyou Claire and your team.

House purchase made easy
Claire Bell and her team have been absolutely fantastic in helping me and my partner buy our first home. From initial conversations to completion, she and the team have always been on hand and going the extra mile to help us complete in a very short period against a challenging time pressure. Claire went above and beyond at every step, making sure that every element of the purchase went smoothly and her attention to detail has been extraordinarily helpful. I know she was buys during this time, but she always made time to answer questions and help manage the complicated the process. Highly recommended.

Excellent Service
We recently sold our house and we used Claire Bell as our solicitor (Biggleswade Branch) and we cannot praise Claire and her fantastic team (Bev, Sarah & Michelle) highly enough.
My daughter had previously used Claire to represent her when she purchased her house, and recommended Claire to us.
We found Claire to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. She lead us through every step of the way ensuring we were fully informed, and I’m pleased to say everything went through without a hitch - so many thanks Claire and your lovely team

Conveyancing services review
I used Claire Bell for conveyancing services.
Initially, the team had transferred from Motley and Hope whom I'd used in the past to purchase my first home.
From 2 previous sales that fell through, to say Claires team were on a journey with me on my 3rd try would be a bit of an understatement.
The transaction was a long process, just over 6 months. We encountered a lot of hurdles with the sellers of the property I was purchasing and silly issues with the solicitors acting on my buyer.
The team were responsive and kept me up to date usually via email. For anything urgent, I'd always requested they'd phone me and they did.
We did have to put up with a horrible sales progressor acting on behalf of the sellers for the property I was purchasing who made personal attacks on the legal team which really infuriated a lot of us, but Pellys were always professional in their responses.
Towards the end, there was a big rush for us to get all things done towards a deadline as mortgage offers were due to expire for my seller and myself, as well as having a seller sitting across the world who'd not returned a signed contract to their solicitors which restricted us from exchanging a day before the deadline.
Claire was fantastic as she pushed the sellers solicitors to contact their client in the middle of the night in their part of the world and get them to esign the contracts to get this deal done.
Claire was following through with everything to the end and I knew I'd always made the right decision sticking with Claire and her team.
She was dedicated, friendly and professional in her services.
I'd recommend Claire for her perseverance and negotiation abilities too which impressed me.
Would I use this team again, yes I would. They did look out for everyone's best interests.
