Thank You.

Nick Earp - Senior Conveyancer

Conveyancers sometimes get a poor reputation as being slow and unresponsive. Nick is the complete opposite - whenever we had a question or asked for an update, we received a response within minutes. I’d thoroughly recommend him to anyone

If you want as little stress as possible, get Nick Earp!

We began proceeds to purchase a house towards the end of 2024. Nick was right there with us guiding us through the whole process. He was super proactive with chasing the vendors solicitors when they went quiet. Even when the sellers let us down and pulled the sale after we were through the searches and surveys, Nick was right back with us when we found another property. He really took away the worry about sections going stagnant and always kept us updated and proactively chased for everything needed.

We will absolutely be returning to use Nick with our next purchase.

House Purchase Completion

Initially, we were really concerned at using a solicitor that were not local to us but I have to say that going with Bannister Preston was a sound choice as they have been excellent throughout. They have always been very responsive and pro-active throughout the purchase of our current home and the sale of our former main residence. Special thanks to both Sophie and Harry for their excellent communication. So refreshing not having to chase a solicitor at every turn.

House buying- Conveyancer

Recently I have had a wonderful experience with Bannister Preston, in particular, Nick Earp- who was the Conveyor for selling and buying my house. He was very thorough throughout and always kept me up-to-date with where the sale was at, paperwork required/ received and communications with other solicitors. Nick was quick to answer any email I sent through and always answered my questions with a supportive, helpful and knowledgeable reply and put me at ease through the whole process. I would definitely recommend Nick and will be using him again if needed in the future.

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!

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 🙏
