Excellent service
Blandy and Blandy did the conveyancing on our recent house move (sale and purchase). The quoted a fixed price and performed every step of the service in a friendly and professional manner. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for solicitors they can trust to do a great job.

Just brilliant.
When I embarked on my legal action, I knew it would be a long haul and that patience and endurance were going to be needed (and not just on my behalf)!
Throughout the process, which actually took almost 5 years, Philip Darcy Frances Kyle and Louise Low were absolutely magnificent in their dedication and persistence in the face of obfuscation delay and general game playing by the other side.
I cannot thank you all enough for a successful conclusion and settlement.
If asked, I would highly recommend the firm to anyone who is in need of legal assistance.
Kind regards
Sue Simonds

Excellent Communication
I was looking for a conveyancer for a first time buy. I choose Karen Pratt because she spend time with me on the initial phone call explaining the process. Blandy & Blandy are not like other solicitors, most solicitors just care about getting the quote out to you, Karen and Blandy & Blandy take time to understand your needs and put the customer at the forefront of their mind.
The communication was excellent with Karen throughout the whole process and because I am new to this, she was always more than happy to talk me through the steps and process.
Excellent service and I would highly recommend them above any other solicitor out there.

Dealt with the same person over several years with a tricky sale of a listed office building in Reading. Blandy & Blandy made that process easier as they just worked through all the hurdles for us. Highly recommended.

Blandy & Blandy provided us with conveyancing services and were first class in dealing with all enquiries. They were very professional and ensured that our sale was completed on time and before the deadlines that we had given our purchaser.

I have just completed on the purchase of a leasehold property for which I used the services of Senior Conveyancer Karen Pratt at Blandy & Blandy. I highly recommend Karen for your conveyancing needs. Throughout the entire process Karen was very responsive and accessible. I felt well informed and all communication was clear and concise. Despite some factors being outside of Karen’s control I found her services to be very efficient and focused and her knowledge and expertise reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Karen or Blandy & Blandy for any future conveyancing needs.

I ised the service of Blandy and Blandy, and Karen Pratt to purchase a house couple of weeks ago. I couldn't recommend her enough as she made the whole process feel like a walk in the park..
I never felt any pressure as she was always a step ahead, keeping me informed and explaining exactly what was happening or what needs to be done by me. Karen has her clients best interest in heart and does her best to keep to deadlines and complete the sale as quick as possible. You are a star Karen, huge thank you!

Karen Pratt was recommended and we are so pleased she helped us. The whole process of selling our house was seamless and she was excellent in all her work with us. House selling is stressful at the best of times and she made it so much easier. She kept to deadlines and was clear and thorough when explaining what was happening. Would use again and recommend to friends. Thanks Karen
