I contacted Blanchards Bailey to provide me with a solicitor for my house sale. Luke Roper was assigned to my sale. As well as all the usual issues in a house sale, there was an additional issue in that the flat I was selling was in Weymouth Dorset and I had moved to Selkirk in the Sottish Borders. Luke assured me that this would not be a problem. He was true to his word. All issues that came up, and there were many, were dealt with in a very professional manner. I was very pleased with the service that Luke provided and after 2.5 years, and 7 different potential buyers, the sale went through. Luke remained calm, thoughtful and provided clear advice throughout.

We have used the company before for a house sale and purchase so began the sale of our late mother's property with confidence. Everything was completed to good timescales with no fuss.

Luke from Blanchard Bailey was fantastic throughout our bridging loan process. He handled a multitude of enquiries from the lender’s solicitors with professionalism and efficiency, keeping everything on track. Thanks to his diligence and persistence, we were able to complete on time. We really appreciated his calm, can-do approach and clear communication every step of the way.

Over a number of years I have been a client of Blanchards Bailey and they have always been most helpful and provided an excellent service. My recent experience with Natasha Long in respect of a family trust has been no exception.

I was recently purchasing a new home and was so pleased to be able to find Sarah Trickey at Blanchards Bailey. Sarah had previously acted as conveyancer for me but had moved from the previous company. Her no nonsense attitude, sense of humour and professional manner made my house move so much easier and the price was right too! Thank you Sarah and Blanchards Bailey for making one of life’s most stressful experiences (almost) a doddle 😊

A very disappointing service from the Probate department - not sure if it was a case of too many clients or a culture within the company - it felt like our file would come to the top every couple of weeks, one task would be done (or just considered) and back to the bottom of the pile it went. Only when a formal complaint was submitted did any concerted action happen. This laidback approach wouldn't work in any other profession. The management needs to look at how Probate applications are processed, with weekly checks and updates for all clients.

Solicitor Natasha Long made a complex and lengthy probate as straightforward as it could be. She was clear, informed and organised at all times. I would definitely recommend Blanchards Bailey.
