Head -Agricultural & Commercial Property at Blanchards Bailey LLP

Sarah Dunlop

Head -Agricultural & Commercial Property

I work within the Firm’s commercial property department specialising in agricultural property. Having worked in insolvency and business recovery within a national firm for 10 years, I made the leap to agricultural property law in 2014 to follow my passion for the countryside. I am a Chartered Legal Executive and qualified in 2019. I have specialised in Buying and selling agricultural land and farms, Auction Preparations, and tenancy matters including the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 tenancies, Partnership Agreements, Farm Partitions, Overage Agreements, Deeds of Easements, Covenants and Releases for seven years. Prior to that, I accrued ten years’ of experience in insolvency and debt recovery. Dealing with property can be stressful and I approach my clients with an understanding of their situation. I enjoy contributing through the legal expertise that both I and the Firm can offer to the long-term sustainability of farming businesses and to see farming families ensure that their hard work is secured for future generations.

Sarah was brilliant right from point of contact. Dealing with solicitors can be a daunting process but the clarity and advise given was first class. We felt in safe hands throughout and were really pleased with the results. Thoroughly recommended!

I found Blanchards Bailey through a recommendation and I would highly recommend them. They were always on the case to complete quickly and also did an excellent, thorough job. They were friendly and professional and I will be using them again in thw future should the need arise.

BLANCHARDS .... My legal Home

5

I think I was 33 years of age when my Bank Manager introduced me to the late Mr David Lang in Blandford as I had to swear an oath. My business was in Cornwall but I was impressed and decided to transfer all my legal matters to Langs. A very happy move and away from Cornwall.
Of course Langs eventualy joined Blanchards and I have been very well looked after ever since. Now I am 85 and still very, very happy!

Excellent throughout a very difficult house sale/purchase

5

I can't fault Blanchards Bailey a single bit. We had a very difficult house move that went a bit wrong (fault of our buyers lenders). The team were on hand throughout and we never felt in the dark at all. They also offered help post-sale to form a complaint for compensation, which was successful.

I would highly recommend this company and would happily use them again.
