Will Service

I found the whole process was handled in a caring manner, with great knowledge and understanding, was very thorough and asked the right questions to enable my Will to be just as I wished. I was treated with respect and as a person and not an idiot. I was completely satisfied with everything that Rachel said and did to finalise my Will just as I wanted it. I would recommend her to anyone making their Will. Thank you.

First Class professional service

After a slow start, Once Nazma Nazir and Paul her assistant got involved the Sale of our property progressed as promised, Nazma was always available to take care and move forward on any outstanding issues.
We were also told by our estate Agent that Nazma was a very pleasant Solicitor
to deal with.

I doubt whether any firm of solicitors could have been more efficient. I have dealt with Bendall and Sons over many years and have always received great service. The solicitor handling my business this time was Jamie Green and he was always friendly, efficient and explained things in plain language which was very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to use Bendall and Sons again.

Writing of Will and Transfer of Equity

We have used Bendall and Sons last year, same solicitor Rachel Smith, this time for writing of our Wills and Transfer of Equity. As before last year Rachel was just brilliant, her guidance to the above was just so good. Rachel is very knowledgeable on everything we needed. Rachel was clear and spoke to us in the way it was very easy to understand. Rachel was very nice, friendly and professional as are her secretaries. Highly recommend Rachel and her team. Both ,myself and my husband very impressed.

Professional Approach, Willing to listen, Expert knowledge

A daunting legal process made light via a professional, calm and patient approach. Willingness to listen and generously sharing expertise and knowledge facilitated meaning making a sense of freedom from unfounded worries, due to not knowing, followed. The option of supporting a hospice through this legal step made this experience additionally worthwhile. Harmonious teamwork radiated at every stage. Smiles much appreciated.

Recommendation for Professional and Efficient Service

From the first contact relating to updating our Wills using Wills week (in support of St Nicholas Hospice) was managed efficiently and professionally. All members of staff were courteous and helpful. Jamie's advice was accurate and he was very approachable, we would highly recommend Bendall and Sons and would be more than happy to use them again in the future. Their support of our local hospice is commendable.

I cannot express how impressed my husband and I have been with Syeda. I have had experience with solicitors before and to be totally honest, not that impressed. Syeda is at a different level- the communication on our house purchase has been absolutely excellent. Her attention to detail definitely pivotal to securing a very tricky sale. It wouldn’t have happened without this attention detail and communication with us. And I have and will be telling everyone! So refreshing please do pass our thanks on and we would be happy to use Bendalls in future. My husband has used in the past- but I was still to be convinced this was the right company to use. Syeda has convinced me.

I had a fantastic experience with Jamie Daniel Green at Bendall&Sons today. I needed some legal advice regarding a mortgage deed consent, and Jamie was absolutely brilliant. He took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense, and he was really thorough in making sure we understood all the details.

What really impressed me was how polite and approachable Jamie was—he made the whole process feel so much easier. Plus, the appointment was right on time, which I really appreciated.

Helpful to a degree and it all got sorted eventually. But generally not very reactive and very slow replies. I would have to ask if anything else needed doing before being prompted for the next step. Transfer of equity took 3 and a half months. But that was because this solicitor and the others were both just as slow. Rather frustrating.
