Great first-time buyer experience in 2025

Bendall & Sons has been instrumental in helping us secure our first house, and they done everything they could to make sure it happened in a timely manner. Because of them we managed to complete the deal before the new stamp duty rules were applied.

Everybody we interacted with communicated clearly and were very helpful and professional. They has helped us prepare all the papers and made sure we knew the rules for each stage. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience and could recommend this legal team to everyone.

My new Will

I was pleasantly surprised for the way my new Will was arranged. My solicitor gave me enough time to think about all the information I received. I was able to discuss with my daughter and was not rushed in any way.
