Highly Recommended for Diligence and Professionalism

Denise Stradling ( recommended by Andrew Smith from the Reading branch) provided outstanding support throughout my father’s case. Her communication was consistently clear, timely, and reassuring, and she made a complex process feel manageable from start to finish. Denise was meticulous with every detail, kept me fully informed at each stage, and ensured the matter was seen through to a proper and well‑resolved conclusion. Her professionalism, diligence, and genuine commitment to helping us made a real difference. I would highly recommend her and Blandy & Blandy LLP

Amazing Service

We had an outstanding experience with Blandy & Blandy during our house purchase, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. A special thank you to Denise, who was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process. She was consistently responsive, quick to reply to every question (no matter how small), and always kept us informed at each stage. Denise’s calm, polite, and highly professional approach made everything feel smooth and manageable, whilst reducing our stress levels. The efficiency and attention to detail gave us real confidence that everything was being handled properly, and communication was clear and reassuring from start to finish. They also helped us get to completion in an extremely tight time frame, which many solicitors would not have been able to achieve. If you’re looking for solicitors who combine professionalism with genuinely excellent client care, Blandy & Blandy are a fantastic choice. Thank you again for making the whole process a lot smoother for us.

Very glad we are now clients of this splendid firm

We wanted to rewrite our wills and create Power of Attorneys at a firm local to us. We are very pleased with the service that we have received. We have been guided through the process with sensitivity in a professional manner, providing clarity and insight. We have been given time to consider our options

Denise Stradling

As a retired partner in a major South African law firm, I can attest to Mrs Stradling's excellent service and thoroughness as a property lawyer and I will use her service again if the need arises. Unfortunately, the same does not apply to other aspects of the firm's performance from reception, to the tardy return of calls to poor internal security, which cost my daughter and I initially $550 000 of which we have since recovered $400 000n and none of this due to any help from Blandy.

Denise at Blandy & Blandy provided an excellent service throughout. She was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and kept me informed at every stage of the process. All of my many questions were answered promptly, and everything was handled efficiently for what was a complicated sales process due to new legislation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Denise and the team at Blandy & Blandy to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor. Thank you for all your hard work.

Karen was an outstanding solicitor throughout a difficult property purchase. Communication was excellent, she was always flexible and responsive, and I consistently felt she was working hard to protect my interests. Despite the challenges, she managed everything smoothly and professionally. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Excellent house sale and purchase experience

Blandy and Blandy ensured a stress-free sale and purchase from start to finish. We received comprehensive, clear and timely communication throughout the process, with the work carried out diligently and efficiently by Manisha, Caroline and the team. We have engaged Blandy and Blandy for a number of matters in the last few years, and this is exactly the sort of high-quality professional service that we have come to expect from them.

Review for outstanding conveyancing service

I recently engaged Alexa McQueen-Turner at Blandy and Blandy's Henley branch to handle the conveyancing of my mum's flat, and I could not have asked for a better experience. From the very first conversation, they showed genuine empathy for my circumstances while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. Alexa's PA met with me personally to ensure all the correct paperwork was brought into the office at the start of the process. The process was handled with exceptional attention to detail, clear communication, and efficiency every step of the way. There were multiple times the buyer of the flat through curve balls to navigate threw and Alexa handled them all with ease. Then mid-way through the sale my mum died and so Alexa then had to start again effectively with all 3 Executors instead of just me as Power of Attorney, I always felt reassured that matters were progressing smoothly. Alexa was very proactive, and would call if she felt it would be better to speak about a situation that needed a quick answer. Throughout this very emotional and stressful time Alexa handled everything with expertise, compassion, and dedication. I would not hesitate to recommend Alexa and Blandy and Blandy (in fact I have already recommended them to a friend who is in the process of selling her flat locally).

I haven’t moved for over 20yrs so going into a modern house move I had my concerns, thankfully I chose Blandy & Blandy to act on my behalf. I cannot thank Natasha (Hood) and the team enough as they made the whole transaction as pleasant and stress free as possible dealing with the other parties involved in the move and helping me navigate some difficult situations with great advice. I will definitely be using Blandy & Blandy again in the future as their professional and friendly service helped my house move go as smooth as possible.

3rd time using Blandy & Blandy and I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. Having used several different solicitors over the years for various legal matters, I can confidently say that this team is by far the best I have ever encountered. We cannot thank Karen Pratt enough as she turned our purchase around within 3 weeks even though the solicitors on the other side were probably the worse she could have encontered. Thank you so much for providing such a personal service.

Your feedback is so appreciated by Karen and the team. Thank you for taking the time.
