We had an excellent experience..

We had an excellent experience working with Louise Burn when purchasing our new home/ selling our old home. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, thorough, and attentive to every detail. Louise took the time to explain the legal aspects of the process in a clear and understandable way, ensuring we felt confident and informed at each step. Her communication was prompt, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed on time. We truly appreciated her guidance and support during what can be a stressful time. Thanks to Louise, the entire process was much smoother than we anticipated. We would highly recommend Louise Burn at Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors to anyone in need of a reliable, dedicated solicitor.

A very quick and professional service. The sale of my flat took only 10 weeks from selecting Aldridge Brownlee for the conveyancing, to the exchange of contracts.
An excellent service. Thank you.

I cannot recommend high enough

I have recently sold and bought a house using AB Solicitors, it took nearly a year from start to finish as one sale fell through at the last minute and the same with a purchase. This could have been a very stressful time for me but I was in safe hands with the expertise and experience of these solicitors who were always prompt and efficient in dealing with everything.
I would certainly recommend this Company.

Brilliant service!

This is the second time I have used ABS for conveyancing work. The recent sale was more complex than the first but Alex's patient and professional handling of the case resulted in a successful outcome.

I'm very grateful to Alex and Valerie for their advice and guidance throughout the transaction and I .
thoroughly recommend ABS for their efficiency and expertise.

We have been very satisfied with the service provided by Aldridge Brownlee.
On conveyancing they have dealt with our house sale, a flat purchase and a flat sale in Bournemouth.
Recently we had a Will prepared by Jo Bunton from the Winton Office. She was very professional and helpful.
It's a pleasure to do business with you as all the staff we have encountered have been first class.

From the beginning they were amazing, explaining each step of the process.
Lisa Forber went above and beyond my expectations and would always get in touch even if there was no update.
I really felt they were looking after my interest.
Would definitely recommend!

The sale went very smoothly, despite some tardy responses/actions from the purchasers' solicitors.
The Aldridge Brownlee conveyancing staff were all friendly and professional, and ensured that our requested deadline was met. We felt listened to, and all our questions/comments were dealt with appropriately, and in a timely manner.
Very many thanks to Aldridge Brownlee.

My experience with Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors was outstanding. I live in California and Aldridge Brownlee did an amazing job of handling the conveyance of my sisters property. Even when we hit a couple of
Bumps in the road they were quickly sorted. I would highly recommend this law firm. I would like to add a huge shout out to Sarah Louise Course who is spectacular at communicating. Sarah wasted no time in getting back to me. I’m not the most patient person so Sarah is definitely a must if you expect a streamline experience. Samantha Skinner

Highly recommended. Lee was amazing, as was everyone else here.
Cannot stress enough how much better it is having a decent conveyancer when moving.

Used this company for about 20 years for many property transactions as a landlord and our private use.
Could not recommend a better service because I don't think there is one in the Bournemouth area. Great at everything they have done for us especially the communication. Lovely friendly team Thanks for everything.
