Experienced, relationship focussed, and supported by a responsive team

Having used Shelley on my purchase, I got the joy of getting to use her and the wider team on my sale.

Incredibly proactive, responsive, and friendly throughout.

I have high conviction in saying I would not have got anywhere near the same result if I hadn’t of had Shelley and LA on my side! They pushed and pushed the deal along.

We had received a very poor service with another firm of solicitors when selling our property. However, Shelley and her team were efficient and communicated well during our purchase - all the things the previous solicitor was not. We were very pleased with the service we received, and it ran to the timetable we had initially requested.

This is the second time I have used Lester Aldridge (the Bournemouth office) for conveyancing. The most recent time was quite complex, and the team managed things in a highly professional manner. A particular thanks to Senior Associate, Shelley Cole and Trainee Solicitor, Skeet Northfield

Shelley Cole and her team, Hannah and Joel, were absolutely flawless conveyancing for our purchase of our first home. We could not recommend them enough.
From the very start, they were easy to communicate with, informative and quick to answer any questions that Charlotte and I had. They made our first time home purchase straight forward and they were all a geniune pleasure to deal with.
Thank you so much Shelley, Hannah and Joel. We look forward to working with you in the future. All the very best
Joe and Charlotte

We had an excellent service on our sale and purchase. Genuinely the whole thing nearly fell apart when other solicitors in the chain didn't do their jobs. Shelley and Oliver were always available and made sure our part was done. They had to spend a lot of time chasing and cajoling others in the chain. I'm so grateful we have a home!

Lester Aldridge have been an absolute breath of fresh air in an industry which is notoriously slow and frustrating. I had the pleasure of having Jon Deadman who professionally handled the sale of my property and kept me up to date throughout and provided clear and easy to understand advice.

I later had the pleasure of having Shelley Cole who in a stressful time of stamp duty deadline, went beyond what anyone would expect and managed to complete my purchase before the stamp duty deadline. She was sending me emails after 9pm at night which no one should be expected to do but she wanted to get my case completed for me and it was very much appreciated. Her advice was incredibly clear and easy to understand. I was just completely amazed with the level of service she provided. She deserves a huge reward from Lester Aldridge for providing beyond good service and being such an important asset to the Lester Aldridge brand. Thank you Shelley!

I cannot recommend Shelley Cole enough, Conveyancer! As if buying a property was not stressful enough then add Covid challenges, working from home and chasing a stamp duty deadline along with numerous other purchasers. I was told, given the hour that this would be impossible by associated parties I was dealing with- well despite some last minute issues (my end) and a protracted scenario with banks and funds, Shelley got my purchase over the line with a cool, calm and collected approach - I felt every bit of advice Shelley gave me could be relied upon, my Mortgage Adviser agreed she was stand alone with the service offered at this stressful time. Thank you Shelley Cole.

Can’t rate or recommend LA Law highly enough. We started working with them on a buy/sell of our home and they’ve been excellent throughout and post-completion. Special shout outs and thanks you to Shelley, Lauren and Olivia who have been responsive, clear and gone well beyond what was required. Look forward to working together again in future! Thank you - Vinit and Binda
