Excellent Service
I recently used Chester & Co for the conveyancing of my flat sale. Lucy and her team were excellent, quick to respond to emails and readily available for any queries. My thanks to all.

Value for money
About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

First House Purchase with Lucy
We have just purchased our first property and Lucy’s exceptional service made everything straightforward and stress-free from start to finish. She was incredibly helpful, efficient, and always quick to respond to any questions. And as newbies to the buying scene she would answer no matter how small or insignificant they might have seemed! Lucy would explain everything new to us, which gave us real confidence at every stage of the process. We’re extremely grateful for all her support and would highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor.

Exceptional Conveyancing Service from Chester & Co
Chester & Co in Bournemouth guided me through a property sale that was anything but straightforward. The house itself was in Manchester, one sibling proved difficult to get decisions from, and my late parents had never had the original lease registered in their names. This meant the team had to liaise with the freeholder’s solicitors and the Land Registry to secure registration, and even arrange a deed of variation because the lease showed the wrong garage. Throughout, they were calm, organised and unfazed. I was kept informed with clear updates by phone and email, so I always understood exactly what stage we were at. Their quoted conveyancing fee was very reasonable and they honoured it right through to completion, no hidden charges or surprises. On the day the sale completed, the buyer’s payment cleared and my funds were released to me that same day, reflecting just how efficient they are. For anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor who combines professionalism, transparency and real attention to detail, I can confidently recommend Chester & Co. They handled a complex sale seamlessly and made the whole process far less stressful than I ever expected.

Best Conveyancing Experience –Highly Recommended
This has been my third conveyancing experience, and I can confidently say it’s been the best so far. Lucy was exceptional throughout the entire process extremely helpful, efficient, and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I truly couldn’t be happier with the service I received. I chose Chester and Co based on their excellent reviews and after this experience, I can absolutely understand why they have such positive feedback!

Fast & efficient conveyancing
We contacted Chester & Co. to see if they were potentially able to do a conveyance in just 4 days from offer to completion (on the basis it was a cash deal and chain free). They agreed it was potentially possible provided they had the full cooperation of all parties. On this basis we therefore submitted an offer on a property with completion within 4 days. This enabled us to secure a substantial discount on the purchase price. Lucy Bowater-Sivell and the whole team were very professional, friendly and supportive during the process and successfully rose to the challenge, duly delivering exchange/completion within 4 days. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you to all involved.
