Excellent service

Excellent service by both solicitors dealing with property sales and purchase. Easy communication and we were kept up to date with progress.

Conveyancing department has lost its way

1

Unprofessional, not proactive, hard to speak to, would not use the phone, the list goes on.
The firm has gone down hill in recent years. Unfortunately, a reflection of poor leadership.

Customer Focused and very professional house conveyances Service

5

Having been supported by Caroline for 2 houses purchases, we were extremely impressed and grateful for her attention to detail, professional knowledge and responsiveness. The service provide, from start to finish, was in stark contrast to that of the sellers solicitor. Always available to answer questions- often at the drop of a hat - her depth of experience shone through as the sale was in jeopardy as the exchange of contracts day approached. Given the inevitable stress and emotional pressure associated with a house purchase, this level of support was very welcome and appreciated!

1st class service for my house purchase

5

I can not thank Caroline Walton enough for saving the day with my house purchase. After being mucked about by another law firm for 6 weeks I got in touch with Blanchards and Bailey for some advice. Caroline got back to me really quickly and reassured me. I then decided for Blanchards and Bailey to deal with my house purchase and in the time the other law firm didn't do a great deal Caroline completed my whole house purchase. She was very pleasant to deal with. Responded quickly to all communications and kept me updated throughout the whole process. I can't thank her enough.

Fantastic efficient service to conveyance our house sale and purchase. A great team headed by Caroline Walton and her assistant Sophie. They responded immediately to messages and went the extra mile to sort last minute glitches to ensure completion went through as planned.
