Financial arrangements and divorce

Martin assisted me with a divorce and separation of financials, which has all just been finalised. He's fab very knowledgeable and confident just what you need when dealing with such a life changing event. He gave me the confidence to get things done and I am surprised at how quickly this matter has been resolved enabling me to start to build my future. Which thanks to Martin is definitely a lot brighter than I first thought.

House Purchase

I have just used Claire Bell for the second time and, once again, she has provided an excellent service. The first time was for a house sale and this time for a house purchase and, in both cases, her and her team always kept me informed of what was going on and I always had completely confidence in her. She always returned my calls promptly and it was never any trouble if I wanted to go in and see her. It is really comforting to have the personal touch and know that the person providing the service knows exactly what they are doing. I will definitely be using her service again in the future.

A pleasure

It is with great pleasure that I can say I know you and consider you a close colleague. Mainly because you have been so supportive of me in various different aspect of my life, rather than I supporting you, but I hope one day that I can return your kindness. My personal circumstances have been challenging to say the least. With my separation, divorce and the ex-wife abducting my children to Slovakia, you have made yourself available to me with very sound advice. One of the aspects of your advice that I find priceless, and refreshing is your honesty. Sometimes 'brutal honesty', but that is something I have a great respect and appreciation for, because that is what I need to hear. Not the fluffy skirting around an issue, but to be told things straight... and sometimes coupled with your very dry sense of humour (that some may consider on the slightly 'weird' side!) You have also supported me in my business when certain businesses have refused to pay and messed me about. Again, giving me sound and very direct advice when and where needed. I do hope one day I will be able to support you in your business or in life. I wish more legal professionals were like you (with your honesty and integrity). I have had to deal with solicitors at various chapters in my life and I must say that you're a refreshing and very positive change! Thank you!

Excellent Solicitor

Claire Bell at Pellys has recently completed the Transfer of my fathers property. To make sure we completed before the increased Stamp Duty deadline, she and her team went above and beyond to complete the transaction. She was extremely professional as well as very friendly and informative and we are very grateful.

Pelly’s conveyancing team

Very happy with Claire Bell and the team despite pressures caused by new stamp duty rules and charges coming into force 1st April 2025.
Claire is a great leader of the team and her professionalism shines through when it really matters. Claire is dogged and focuses on detail and leaves no stone unturned. She is so good at knowing when to push the other side, which paid dividends for me.
I thoroughly recommend her to be your conveyancing solicitor.

We contacted Claire after using her previously as we found her to be a brilliant solicitor. We were not disappointed the second time round. She is supportive, professional yet empathetic and deals with everything promptly. Highly recommend Claire. Cannot fault her! Thankyou Claire and your team.

House purchase made easy

Claire Bell and her team have been absolutely fantastic in helping me and my partner buy our first home. From initial conversations to completion, she and the team have always been on hand and going the extra mile to help us complete in a very short period against a challenging time pressure. Claire went above and beyond at every step, making sure that every element of the purchase went smoothly and her attention to detail has been extraordinarily helpful. I know she was buys during this time, but she always made time to answer questions and help manage the complicated the process. Highly recommended.

Excellent Service

We recently sold our house and we used Claire Bell as our solicitor (Biggleswade Branch) and we cannot praise Claire and her fantastic team (Bev, Sarah & Michelle) highly enough.
My daughter had previously used Claire to represent her when she purchased her house, and recommended Claire to us.
We found Claire to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. She lead us through every step of the way ensuring we were fully informed, and I’m pleased to say everything went through without a hitch - so many thanks Claire and your lovely team

I received excellent legal representation. Martin and his teams professionalism is remarkable, along with their knowledge and execution of family law. With this being, not only a very difficult situation, but it was also an extremely sensitive and emotional time in my life, Martin
handled this case from beginning to end with what I would consider perfection & discretion in every aspect. He was available at all hours to me. Highly recommend !! 🤗🤗😊 Thanks, Darren

We can't thank George enough for his help with our purchase as first time buyers, with the stamp duty deadline looming none of thought it would be possible but with George's help we got the keys 3 days before! His communication was brilliant and always available to help answer any questions or easy any worry or doubts. Staff in reception are very friendly and were happy to help. Will be definitely be reaching out to George/colleagues if their services are required. Thanks again :)
