The title says it all. Mr. Jerome Dodge, a master of his subject, clearly revealed enough and no more of the pros and cons of Trusts to allow us to make an informed, clear headed decision. All over a cup of tea in a comfortable meeting room.
He has reversed and greatly improved my view of Solicitors, which has been eroding since our family friend/solicitor retired.

They helped me through selling and purchasing properties. Dealing with my husbands will and setting up a trust after my husband died. They also made me understand the importance of reading everything properly.

Throughout the experience of selling and buying Claudia and Jemma have been excellent at moving things along and keeping us updated on the progress of everything.
We have now sold two properties and purchased two properties using Claudia and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Tessa handled selling my home in Shaftesbury and I honestly have no complaints or issues. It was all so smooth and I am very grateful to her (and Finnley). I particularly appreciated that when I called to speak to Tessa, it was usually Tessa who answered the phone. Whenever I have sold previously I have always had to go through a reception and invariably had to wait for a call back.

Before I sold my flat I was told that getting solicitors to take on the legal side of selling and buying of flats wasn't easy because of things like management company's and leaseholds so I approached Laura and she gave me a price and a timescale. I went through all the legalities over the 5 months it took to get the sale over the line and I have to say everyone from the pleasent secretaries to the assistants of Laura all helped it be a less stressful sale so a big thank you from me.

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.
