Thank you

Natalie assisted with the sale and purchase of our property(s). Whilst the overall experience of this was tumultuous at times, Natalie was the calm reassurance at the end of the phone. She completed her work in a timely manner, often against tight timescales, and provided plenty of updates throughout the process.

Great service from Daniel

This is the second time I have used Bannister Preston. First to buy my house and then a few years later to sell. Both times Daniel was excellent throughout the process. His responses were really prompt and was very easy to get hold of when I had a question. He also put up with my stress levels towards completion of the sale! I would highly recommend.

Nick Earp - Excellent and Outstanding Professional Service

This is the second time I’ve reached out to Bannister Preston Solicitors LLP for purchasing a property, and once again, the experience was excellent. Nick Earp was assigned as my conveyancer, and he exceeded expectations with his high standards and professionalism, ensuring the process was as smooth as possible.

Nick was incredibly responsive, addressing my numerous email queries without hesitation and working tirelessly to get timely answers from the seller’s solicitor. His expertise was evident, and he went above and beyond to help complete the purchase as planned, even saving me from unexpected last-minute costs.

I have already recommended Nick to my friends, as their fees are also reasonable. He consistently replies quickly and promptly resolves outstanding actions. Nick’s support throughout the process, along with his swift responses by phone or email, was invaluable. I would definitely recommend him and Bannister Preston Solicitors LLP!

All the best Nick Earp!

We have used Nick Earp for both purchasing and selling properties on a couple of occasions. We have dealt with many conveyancers over the years and can categorically state you will not find a better one than Nick from Bannister Preston in Sale. He will respond to any phone call, email etc. very speedily. If you want your selling/buying of property to go as smoothly as possible then do not hesitate to use Nick. Thanks for all your help Nick

Natalie Charles - Excellent

Natalie Charles and the firm as a whole was excellent throughout the entire purchasing process. She was clear, efficient, friendly and detailed through a difficult purchase and communicated clearly and easy to contact as an individual and everyone in the firm too. Perfect to deal with and would wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you!

Fantastic service!

Natalie has been wonderful throughout this stressful time of buying our first house. This was a new process for us but she explained everything to us very clearly and made time to answer our many queries with a great response time. She was very professional and we felt well represented the whole time

Such a poor service, used them in 2016 as did many on our estate and have since found out they incorrectly advised over ground rent, misled us re the situation with the freehold (basically did not advise us the freeholder was missing, did not correctly inform prior who asked prior to purchase if they could buy their freehold) and glossed over the government white paper on leasehold issues, merely sending a link to the paper and making out the only issue was that leasehold sale may be banned in the future. We were incentivised by Stewart Milne to use them and there is clearly a reason for this. Obusdman did award a small sum to me in agreement that elements of their service was poor. Do not use.

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 🙏

A big thankyou to Farah Hussain who dealt with my custody case. Professional, honest and a dedicated solicitor who from start to finish was transparent with us. She went above and beyond to provide us exceptional service. She is a gem and an absolute asset to her firm Bannister Preston. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again Farah.
