We have used the company before for a house sale and purchase so began the sale of our late mother's property with confidence. Everything was completed to good timescales with no fuss.

Luke from Blanchard Bailey was fantastic throughout our bridging loan process. He handled a multitude of enquiries from the lender’s solicitors with professionalism and efficiency, keeping everything on track. Thanks to his diligence and persistence, we were able to complete on time. We really appreciated his calm, can-do approach and clear communication every step of the way.

Over a number of years I have been a client of Blanchards Bailey and they have always been most helpful and provided an excellent service. My recent experience with Natasha Long in respect of a family trust has been no exception.

Absolutely great team, Sophie who i had instructed showed great levels of patience and determination with the sale of my property. Covering every possible avenue there could be and making it the most easy process i could have wished for, i couldnt recommend the team more to anyone who is doing the same.

Some years ago my late mother required her will and a power of attorney arranging. She had the good fortune to be referred to Blanchards and a home visit was duly arranged. The staff who visited her were so kind, patient and considerate of her advanced age. Recently when she sadly passed away Blanchards were again there for us and ready to help as co-executors of her will. I cannot express enough how efficient and helpful their team has been during a difficult time. Acting as co-executors Blanchards also handled probate and the sale of the family home. No problems with communication, everything went smoothly and was so well co-ordinated. A rare experience indeed is this day and age.

I was recently purchasing a new home and was so pleased to be able to find Sarah Trickey at Blanchards Bailey. Sarah had previously acted as conveyancer for me but had moved from the previous company. Her no nonsense attitude, sense of humour and professional manner made my house move so much easier and the price was right too! Thank you Sarah and Blanchards Bailey for making one of life’s most stressful experiences (almost) a doddle 😊

A very disappointing service from the Probate department - not sure if it was a case of too many clients or a culture within the company - it felt like our file would come to the top every couple of weeks, one task would be done (or just considered) and back to the bottom of the pile it went. Only when a formal complaint was submitted did any concerted action happen. This laidback approach wouldn't work in any other profession. The management needs to look at how Probate applications are processed, with weekly checks and updates for all clients.

Solicitor Natasha Long made a complex and lengthy probate as straightforward as it could be. She was clear, informed and organised at all times. I would definitely recommend Blanchards Bailey.
