Mark Taylor
Senior Associate
I am a senior associate in the residential property department. I have almost 20 years’ experience of the law and in particular residential property and landlord and tenant law. I have valued longstanding clients worldwide, nationally and of course locally.
What is your experience and qualifications?
I qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive (FCILEx) in 2009. I have two particular areas of law in Landlord & Tenant and also Equity Release and in particular pre-Financial Services Act Full or Partial Home Reversions with Lease for Life arrangements. I have specialised in this area for 20 years.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
The pace of conveyancing. It can be frenetic so we must keep up with and embrace change and technology to deliver a secure sale or purchase with the highest levels of client service and effective communication. Client expectations have also changed but putting them at the heart of our business has not and that is the difference between us and some of our competitors.
What makes you tick?
If my clients tell me I’ve done a great job then there is no better reward or motivation. House moving is rightly described as the most expensive and stressful undertaking people can make and clients must feel that they are in safe hands and part of the larger Blanchards Bailey family of legal experts.

Support during Divorce Settlement
The support/service I received was effective, timely and entirely suited to what I was trying to achieve. I was appraised of the situation throughout and my queries were answered immediately. I was not overcharged and the pricing was fair. I cannot fault the service in anyway.

Excellent help with conveyancing
Mark Taylor was very helpful both with the abortive sale and the sale that finally went through. We would highly recommend him. It was always easy to speak with him or his secretary.

Land Registry Change
A great team at Blanchards Bailey, with Mark Taylor dealing with my request.
I required title deeds to be ammended, and after looking online, noticed it to be a bit too complicated.
Mark was more than happy to help, and the process was extremely streamlined and completed within the week!

Lifetime Mortgage
Although we initiated the process of taking out this lifetime mortgage during lockdown, it was completed smoothly within three months. Mark Taylor dealt with the matter very efficiently.

Nothing is too much trouble for this fantastic team
It seems like a rare thing these days to find a company who care as much as Blanchards Bailey, who are as knowledgable as Blanchards Bailey, and to whom nothing is too much trouble … like Blanchards Bailey. Everyone who I’ve sent their way thanks me and reiterates all of these sentiments. Huge thanks to Mark and all the team for their professionalism and also their fantastic value.

House moves
We were very fortunate to be represented by Mark Taylor.
We used Mark to purchase our house in Sturminster, the sale of the same house and then the purchase of our new home in Sussex.
Some of our dealings with purchasers and indeed vendors were far from simple , but Mark has the experience , manner and sense of humour to quietly move everything and everyone in the right direction.
Without him , it would certainly have been very easy to simply pull out of our last move.
We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Conveyancing - House Sale
I have dealt with Mark Taylor, for over 19 years (he dealt with our original purchase) and in each of his incarnations have found him and his departmental colleagues to be professional, thorough, business like and very personable.
