Over a number of years I have been a client of Blanchards Bailey and they have always been most helpful and provided an excellent service. My recent experience with Natasha Long in respect of a family trust has been no exception.

Important life decisions need proper professionals

Life happens but sometimes not as planned … my divorce 🥲… but professional empathy and the elephant in the room 😏 cost …. didn’t know what to expect but compared to others in similar situation… well recommend… and because of my experience returned for Will ( update will ) and powers of attorney… personable, empathetic, respectful, and I’d go so far as to say … kind … yes , these services aren’t cheap .. BUT my experience with Blandford Bailey has been/is truthful, honest and absolutely ‘no rip off solicitor firm’ … in my opinion would be interested to see if u find better …. Lastly… THANK YOU

Laura Martin was very professional from the beginning. She gave myself and my wife all the information clearly with a follow up call to each email. Anybquestion was discussed with myself coming away with a clear understanding. I would highly recommend Laura to family and friends. Thankyou. Kind Regards. Richard Aldred.

Professional and patient

Advice received over more than 20years from Blanchards Bailey on dealing with a family Trust, probate matters, purchase and sale of property. Jerome Dodge has also advised us on estate planning, wills, powers of attorney and establishment and registration of protective Trusts.

Mostly 'On The Ball' But not always

Dealing with Wills and Trusts, Jerome is as always clear, professional and inventive . Dealing with the Conveyancing Department was sometimes more difficult and frustrating. We had quite a lot of house matters this year and we found it hard work. However the jobs got done to our satisfaction in the end.

House purchase

Laura was excellent throughout the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home. Laura kept us fully informed at every stage, communicated clearly and promptly, and made the whole process feel smooth and straightforward. We felt well supported from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend Laura.

Boundary Dispute

I recently had a serious dispute with my neighbour after she cut a large hole in my mature hedge, this hedge had been properly maintained by me for 15yrs and formed a screen between our two properties. It was clear to me, that I would have to instruct a Solicitor to get this issue resolved. I spoke to Blanchards Bailey LLP, and was directed to Ben Jones and his team in the company’s litigation dept. Ben listened intently to my sad tale of past issues with this difficult neighbour, and the current problem that I was experiencing. After gathering the relevant evidence he entered into communication with my neighbour, pointing out detailed areas, where the law had been infringed by her actions, and how this issue could escalate to an expensive legal action. I was fully supported, and kept informed by Ben and his entire team of professionals throughout the whole process. Which ended quickly, with my cost's being paid in full! I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Blanchards Bailey LLP, and their litigation team, and would like to thank Ben Jones, and his very capable team.
