Matt Collis
Senior Associate
I am a solicitor in the residential conveyancing team and am based in Blanchards Bailey’s Shaftesbury office. I qualified as a solicitor in 2016 and have worked in conveyancing since. I have previously worked at firms in Bournemouth and Christchurch, so I am familiar with the local area. I act on behalf of first-time buyers, property investors, developers, executors, attorneys, and private clients wishing to move house. I assist with property sales and purchases, re-mortgages, and transfers of equity – for both freehold and leasehold properties, whether unregistered or registered.
I qualified as a solicitor in 2016. I have worked in my current area of specialisation for 9 years. I oversee two other employees.
Providing excellent client service is always my key objective. I also aim to be personable, and approachable, and to provide concise legal advice without unnecessary jargon. This has certainly helped me to develop and maintain good relations with clients, which is essential if I am to understand their property needs.

Blanchard Bailey have dealt with Wills and inheritance tax. PoA and trusts. Buying and selling property. We have had great service from all the solicitors we have dealt with and felt confident in taking their advice. They have all been very approachable and happy to explain points that we were unsure of.

Excellent solicitors
We used Blanchards Bailey for our house purchase and they were absolutely fantastic. Matt and the team were always extremely quick to respond to queries and were always available at the end of the phone, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality, efficient solicitor.

Conveyancing for sale and purchase of properties.
Everything was handled promptly, efficiently and with a human face. Alice on reception always knew how to handle queries so it felt as if messages were being dealt with. Tess, a neighbour but she dealt with things completely professionally. Matt took time to explain things. And post contractual (!) service was good. THE reason I haven’t given five stars is because I just never do! Woops forgot POA where Helen was/is great. I know I need to get my act together to respond!
