Kept me focused

Aimee really helped me through the process of our Shareholders Agreement and Articles, Aimee was very patient and kept reminding me where I had got to and what needed finalising, very patient and no judgement on my inability to focus on this level of detail.

10/10 Services - Thank you Ellie!

Ellie alone has restored my faith in the system and that you can get someone within legal/ solicitor firms who can communicate to their client in a way that makes them feel like you are their priority despite juggling multiple clients at once! Thank you so much Ellie for the clear instructions you have provided me throughout this journey, what was a stressful time has been significantly reduced knowing I had you representing me. True asset to the company!

Clear, calm and thorough in a tricky chain

The clarity, professionalism and overall transparency that was provided by Ellie in what is quite a convoluted process (and tricky to manage with my buyers!) was absolutely exceptional. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ellie & Boyes turner.

Great service!

Caitlyn was fantastic throughout the sale of our flat. Living overseas made the process more complicated, but she was incredibly helpful, responsive and always kept us updated, making us feel that everything was under control. She was friendly, professional and went above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. We really appreciated all her help and would highly recommend Boyes Turner to anyone looking to sell their property.

Purchase and sale of two properties.

Used Boyes Turner as they were recommended to us as being on the ball, contactable and thorough in their dealings. We’re assigned to Kerry Pardoe and her assistant Sally Searle. What a delight to deal with. The transactions were completed with no stress or drama. In constant contact with us and each deadline set was met fully, every step was explained along the way. Would we use them again? Absolutely and without a moments hesitation. Selling & buying houses is a stressful experience but these ladies made it a seamless and almost enjoyable task!

Boyes Turner was recommended to us and we're so so pleased we used them for our conveyancing. It was quite a complicated process with our flat's specific lease situation and some boundary issues, but we had excellent advice with prompt and frequent communication, specifically from Ellena, as well as the rest of the team. We couldn't be happier with the service we received.

Dinah was my solicitor for a transfer of equity in which she kept me informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. Her attention to detail and efficient handling of the transaction gave me complete confidence throughout. I really appreciated Dinah’s support and expertise, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing help with a transfer of equity or other property matters. Thank you.

We used Ellena Balshaw in the Boyes Turner Residential Conveyancing team for our house move, and she was simply brilliant. What should have been a straightforward transaction became far more challenging due to a difficult buyer who pulled out, returned, and then appointed an extremely slow firm on their side. Their admin-led approach caused repeated delays, with decisions unable to progress without solicitor sign-off, despite Ellie clearly communicating our fixed completion dates. At the same time, our sellers were keen to move quickly as they were leaving the country. Throughout the process, Ellie kept us regularly and clearly informed about where things stood, the position with both our buyer and seller, and exactly what we needed to do next. She also proactively liaised with our estate agents and other parties to keep everyone aligned, meaning we were fully prepared and ready to proceed ahead of others. I would highly recommend Ellie to anyone buying or selling a property.

Moved home many times and have seen good and bad conveyances. But never Outstanding…. Until now. Ellie Balshaw took over from the brilliant Stella Perry and hit the ground running. Her help, advice and overall support were such an important part of making a difficult situation seem easy. Ellie was a star. Thanks Ellie.

Sophie Payne-excellent advice and support throughout

Sophie has been a massive help to me and my business partner, and I wanted to give her the recognition she deserves. She took the time to explain our options, answer our questions and make sure we understood what needed to happen next. Her advice was clear and practical, and she worked closely with our other advisers to help us make informed decisions. What really stood out was the follow-up. Sophie kept checking in and asking the right questions to make sure things had been dealt with properly. We felt she was looking out for us, and that meant a lot. I give credit where it’s due, and her patience, attention to detail and continued support deserve it. Having someone you trust to guide you through things makes a real difference when you’re also busy running a business. Thank you, Sophie, for everything you’ve done for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and Boyes Turner.

Exceptional Support During the Most Difficult Time

I cannot thank Laura enough for everything she did for our family. When my husband Paul was diagnosed with mesothelioma, our world was turned upside down. Alongside the shock, heartbreak, and uncertainty that comes with such a devastating diagnosis, we were faced with navigating a legal process that felt overwhelming at an already incredibly difficult time. From our very first conversation, Laura was exceptional. Not only was she highly knowledgeable and professional, but she was also kind, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping us. She guided us through every step of the process with patience and understanding, always taking the time to explain things clearly and making sure we felt supported and informed. What stood out most was the way Laura treated us as people, not just clients. She understood that this wasn’t simply a legal case—it was about Paul, our family, and securing justice for the suffering he endured. Throughout the process, she showed a level of empathy and care that I will never forget. During one of the most difficult periods of our lives, Laura became a source of reassurance and strength. Her dedication, attention to detail, and determination to achieve the best outcome for Paul never wavered, and I always felt completely confident that our case was in the very best hands. Thanks to Laura’s hard work and expertise, we achieved a successful outcome, but what means just as much to me is the kindness and support she showed along the way. As I continue navigating life after losing Paul, I look back with immense gratitude for everything she did for us. I honestly could not have wished for a better solicitor. Laura went above and beyond in every sense, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing both outstanding legal representation and genuine human compassion.

Compassionate and Professional support throughout my medical injury claim

I had an excellent experience using Boyes Turner for a medical legal matter from start to finish. Vanessa Wand was incredibly professional, compassionate and kept me informed at every step of the way that I never once felt left wondering what was happening. She was always wiling to answer any questions , returned calls promptly and provided clear explanations on anything I did not understand. She even went the extra mile to update me even on her day out of the office which was greatly appreciated. She is calm friendly and easy to speak to including Ben Ireland . Their dedication to my case ensured a positive result. Thank you for your outstanding support and excellent service. I would highly recommend.
