We are truly grateful for the experience we had working with Manisha. She was incredibly helpful, responsive and guided us through the conveyancing process with great care. We deeply appreciate her support.

Many thanks to Manisha, Caroline, and the entire team.

Leasehold property purchase

Manisha from Blandy & Blandy provided me (FTB) with excellent conveyancing service for my share of freehold purchase. As a first-time buyer I have few comparisons to make, but I was really happy with the clarity of what was needed from me when and with Manisha's responsiveness to all of my questions including those with a bit of first-time-buyer paranoia sprinkled on top. I would happily recommend Manisha and the conveyancing team at Blandy & Blandy in Reading.

6 star service

I would have given a 6 star if it was available. Blandy and Blandy did not only provide the service. They supported me all the way through my divorce process. Everyone was very professional. However, I must say Claire Clarke was absolutely amazing and she sure is an asset to the organisation.

House purchase

Karen was our conveyancer for a challenging property purchase and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Responses were very fast, communication clear and every detail was looked into meticulously. Karen is very professional and set me at ease with her knowledge and attention to detail. Thank you Karen to you and the team, we will be in touch again no doubt.

(1) Initial correspondence consisted on numerous PDF documents that could not be completed on-line. Each one had to be printed out, completed with pen and ink, packaged up and taken to a post office to be sent by the signed for service. This is 2024 not 1924!!

(2) The process started in July 2024. Numerous documents were received which required my review but all were sent together towards the end of the process in October 2024 (even though one of the documents was dated August 2024) placing me under significant time pressure to review the documents in time to meet the proposed completion date.

Other than the above, Natasha Hood was always very patient in explaining certain legal issues and in general was contactable and did return calls although on one occasion I did receive a message saying her mail box was full.

Excellent Service

I recently had the pleasure of working with Blandy & Blandy on my surrogacy case, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Claire Dyer, my solicitor, was simply outstanding. From our very first meeting, Claire demonstrated an impressive combination of professionalism, empathy, and expertise, making an inherently complex process feel manageable.

Claire's attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring that every aspect of my case was thoroughly examined and understood. She communicated clearly and effectively, keeping me informed at every stage and patiently answering all my questions, no matter how small. Her deep understanding of surrogacy law and compassionate approach made a significant difference in my experience, allowing me to navigate this emotional journey with confidence.

Moreover, the support from the entire Blandy & Blandy team was excellent. They provided timely responses and made sure that I felt supported throughout the entire process. I felt like I was in very capable hands, and that reassurance was invaluable.

Overall, my experience with Blandy & Blandy and Claire Dyer has been exemplary. I am incredibly grateful for their support and expertise, and I would recommend them to anyone seeking legal assistance in surrogacy matters. They truly made a difference in my journey to parenthood!

Many aspects to recommend this team. Some elements felt robotic. Overall, would recommend for routine/uncontentious matters.

I used Blandy & Blandy [Reading] for advice on a difficult matter I had relating to work. But they couldn't have been more professional, sensitive to how I was feeling and valuable in their final approach. Their knowledge is really impressive and reassuring... that you're receiving vitally the right advice at the right time, and an unsettling time. Recommend.
