House purchase

When we first thought of using Bendall & Sons Solicitors we had worries about their efficiency and also effectiveness. Time was crucial in our case. We approached them and immediately they got to work after presenting to us what they expected of us.

My son and I have used Bendall & Sons in the past for both business debt collection and for conveyancing (both sale & purchase). We have always had good, professional, and pleasant dealings with all people at the company.

Pleasure to deal with

Both Rachel Smith and Tina Younger were a pleasure to liaise with and between them they make a 'crack team'! Both very professional, knowledgeable and efficient, and their cheerful attitude helped to make the whole Will process much pleasanter. I would readily recommend them, and Bendall & Sons in general.

Sale of land

I was selling some land last year and had found a buyer and went to this firm to handle the sale. There was however a problem on the title which I was not aware off and did not understand. The person who undertook this work was not a qualified solicitor and did not know how to handle the problem, so instead of passing it to a more qualified person she made me feel that I was being dishonest and that I fully understood and knew that there was a problem. I lost the buyer and have had to pay for a fully qualified solicitor to solve the problem, which was a simple Land Registry form. I'm very upset that they thought that I am dishonest and they gave me quite a few sleepless nights. If you are selling property then go to a fully qualified conveyancing solicitors, avoid this firm like the plague.
