Excellent from start to finish.

I had an outstanding experience with Bannister Press and Solicitors. From beginning to end, their service was exemplary. Faced with a tight deadline to complete both the sale and purchase of a property, I was immensely grateful for the dedication and professionalism shown by Chris, Olivia, Ashleigh and the entire team.

Despite encountering challenges from my buyer’s solicitor, Chris and his team remained steadfast, proactive, and consistently communicative, ensuring that I was fully supported at every stage. This was, at times, a challenging case, yet their perseverance and efficiency never faltered.

I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and for handling the entire process with such speed and care. I wholeheartedly recommend Bannister Press and Solicitors to anyone in need of a reliable and highly capable legal team.

We recently used Nick Earp for both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received. It was a particularly tricky chain, with slow sellers and frustrating communication from other parties, but our conveyancer was superb throughout.

Nick's professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach made all the difference. He kept us informed at every stage, often stepping in to navigate poor communication from other solicitors and stubborn sellers. His ability to keep things moving, despite the challenges, was truly impressive.

We are incredibly grateful for Nick's hard work and dedication and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, efficient, and highly competent conveyancer. Thanks again Nick for making this process as smooth as possible!

A representative from Bannister Preston Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 12 February, 2025:

Thank you for your fantastic review, Shaun. We're so glad to hear that Nick’s professionalism and proactive approach helped navigate the challenges of your sale and purchase. We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled that you felt supported throughout the process. If you need any assistance in the future, we’ll be here to help, and we’re grateful for your recommendation.

I am so thankful to Bannister Preston Solicitors firm, Sale, for helping me out of the way, especially my solicitor Ms Farah Hussain Madam who always guided me with the best legal advice. She is an expert in her field with excellent knowledge of UK laws and the judiciary system. She always replied to my queries and updated me about the case as quickly as possible. The supporting staff and barristers also did a commendable job. I am really thankful to them from the bottom of my heart to help me win my case. I would like to recommend them to others for their legal battle. Thanks again. May God Bless you 🙏
