Wow! Who knew such service still existed?!

David Carter Hughes & team supported me throughout the conveyancing processes. They were open about costs, highly engaged & communicative from start to finish. I’d award 6 stars if I could!

A Wonderful Journey

The team is great at communicating. They take the time to explain every detail about your purchase, making sure you feel confident and informed. There's really nothing else you need to worry about, as they handle everything for you.

Disappointing experience

We were recommended to use Bannister Preston as our solicitors for our first house purchase in September 2024, and absolutely would not use them again and would not recommend them unfortunately. We often had to chase up replies to emails and when we requested call backs these were very rarely returned. We once were promised an urgent call back 4 times in one day that never happened (1 week before our completion date). There was a few issues with our searches which could have been sorted months in advance, however were left until the week of completion despite us chasing this up multiple times in the weeks prior. Eventually we spoke to David who did get everything sorted for us in a few days, so we were able to complete on the house on time. However, this was by the absolute skin of our teeth. David was great, made time for us, and kept us in the loop of what he was doing so we knew where things were up to. The same can’t be said for the other staff we spoke with, unfortunately. Ultimately, despite David being able to help us over the finish line and offering his genuine apologies for the previous errors, we couldn’t recommend Bannister Preston as a solicitors, as the failings greatly outweighed the pros.

Dear Fred, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear that your overall experience with Bannister Preston did not meet your expectations, and I completely understand your frustration. I appreciate you mentioning David and the positive impact he had in helping you complete your house purchase on time. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. It’s unfortunate that you encountered communication delays and issues with the searches prior to that, and I sincerely apologise for the stress this caused, especially so close to your completion date. We always strive to provide the best possible service to our clients, and it’s clear that, in this instance, there were areas where we fell short. We would really appreciate the opportunity to look into this matter further. If you would be open to it, please contact us at law@bannisterprestonirlam.co.uk, and we will investigate the situation in more detail. Thank you again for your feedback, and I wish you all the best in your new home. Kind Regards Bannister Preston Solicitors

We were very pleased with the efficient and friendly service offered, not least given the fact that we were based abroad with an eight hours time difference to the UK. Particular thanks to Irfan and David for their patient responses to our queries. John

Wow.Wow.Wow!!! Moved to Bannister Preston, specifically David Carter Hughes following a poor experience with another conveyancer. David spoke to me directly at initial contact, explained the fees upfront& ran through their processes. His clarity gave me confidence to proceed with the firm. I was looked after both in terms of the sale of my property & the purchase of another. When my original purchase fell through at the last hurdle David assured me that he would get me into my new home efficiently. He was true to his word & backed by the team including Isabelle, Sarah, Sonia, Margaret. They held my hand through the whole thing & kept me informed throughout. I would recommend them to anyone for a professional, efficient service. I genuinely felt that they understood the stresses & strains & went out of their way to minimise the impact. I felt they all cared about my experience & the provision of the best service. Thank you to David & the team.
