Speedy conveyance
Caroline Walton and her team worked hard and fast to enable us to purchase a bungalow in Woodbridge in record time (2 months from our first seeing the property to completion). Caroline is very efficient, explains the issues clearly and offers sensible and practical advice. Many thanks to Blanchards Bailey once again for providing such a friendly but effective service.

Determination of Trust and Conveyancing
Very professional, approachable, personable and good communicators. Complex legal concepts were explained clearly and simply. Mark Taylor is an expert in his field who managed to solve problems in a pragmatic and courteous way. He is a tremendous asset to the firm.
Caroline Walton oversaw the conveyancing which was more complex than usual. It was managed in a smooth and efficient manner.
Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant Blanchards Bailey
My wife was appointed executor to her Aunt's Estate. Many potential legal pitfalls and a great deal of stress involved with such a responsibility. The decision was made to involve Blanchards Bailey LLP (Blandford Forum) in the process. This turned out to be an excellent choice. James and Shannon and colleagues made the journey virtually stress free throughout the administration. All actions were executed in a timely and highly professional manner combined with excellent communication with ourselves. We have no hesitation in recommending the services of Blanchards Bailey.
James Duncan from Blanchards Bailey LLP responded to this review on 23 June, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words Roy - Shannon and I are pleased to have been of assistance to you and Elaine. If we can be of any further help, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Excellent Service
My experience working with Blanchards was excellent. I was going through a challenging time at work and needed some employment advice and support with writing a letter. The turnaround for this needed to be quite quick and that's the service I had. I initially made the call and spoke to Claire who was really lovely and personable, and acted on it straight away. She called me back when she said she would and emailed me regularly to keep me informed. The Employment Law Solicitor, Sophia spoke to me within a day and really gave her time to me and listened. She was honest, open and gave excellent advice. There after the service continue all the way through to the end. It was extremely efficient, and I will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much I couldn't have done it without you.

Having just lost my husband I had so much help from Lauren with sorting his Will and Trust fund. Her caring attitude helped me through a very difficult situation and I will be forever thankful for her advice.

Julie was very welcoming on arrival. I described what had happened over the past few weeks. Julie was very understanding and gave clear and concise instructions for myself as well as explaining the overall process and all of my available options.
Once we had completed the meeting I was armed with a clear understanding and a far more comfortable feeling that i was back in control.

A very disappointing service from the Probate department - not sure if it was a case of too many clients or a culture within the company - it felt like our file would come to the top every couple of weeks, one task would be done (or just considered) and back to the bottom of the pile it went. Only when a formal complaint was submitted did any concerted action happen. This laidback approach wouldn't work in any other profession. The management needs to look at how Probate applications are processed, with weekly checks and updates for all clients.

Solicitor Natasha Long made a complex and lengthy probate as straightforward as it could be. She was clear, informed and organised at all times. I would definitely recommend Blanchards Bailey.

I was recently sent a Notice from another Solicitors, concerning my fathers Lasting power of Attorney. I wanted to get some clarification and advice on the implications of the notice and reached out to Blanchards Bailey to help. Jerome Dodge was excellent and explained what the Notice meant and offered some options on how to proceed. Jerome was very sympathetic at what was an emotional time for all involved. Excellent service and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
