Our second time using Aldridge Brownlee

I could not speak more highly of the team at Aldridge Brownlee solicitors. A special mention to both Owen Baler & Shelley Evans. This is our second time using them for our house move and once again, professional, punctual and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you again.

The calm amongst the storm

Louise was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. AB Solicitors came as a recommendation from our mortgage adviser for our house sale and purchase and I wasn’t disappointed whatsoever. The two properties below us and their respective solicitors were shocking to say the least (ie wrong searches/ never replying when chased by literally everyone) led us to a very messy exchange and completion saga, but Louise and team were always there, ready and willing. Incredibly prompt, insightful, helpful, communicative and a very fair price. The issues below us meant Louise and team had to go above and beyond to make things work for us and they always pulled through, never left us wondering or confused or waiting. Just super impressed and so pleased I went with them! They weren’t a local firm for us, but it didn’t even matter as they were just that good. Can’t thank them all enough, and of course Louise for the never ending patience and phone calls and panic we sent her way. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Your kind words about her dedication, communication, and patience will mean a great deal to her and the team. We really appreciate your trust in us and your recommendation. We wish you all the very best in your new home!

Reception and Andrew Carswell were both friendly and helpful, I was particularly impressed with the speed of response. Car parking at your central Bournemouth site is an issue, there is simply not enough, vehicles were squeezed in, had I not allowed plenty of time parking would have made me late for my appointment with Andrew.

Wills, Trusts and Probate

Whilst appreciating the legal niceties, I felt I was disenfranchised as an executor and spent a lot of time chasing to find out how things were progressing. I felt there was a lack of urgency in progressing the work and unnecessary delays throughout the process. More effective use of my skills could have been made as the estate executor. This is always a stressful process and the delays and lack of urgency stress levels unnecessarily.

Clare Eastwood

We are sorry to learn that you felt disenfranchised as an executor and that your skills were underused in this instance. We are conscious that delays cause stress to both executors and beneficiaries and aim to administer estates quickly whilst also ensuring that all relevant matters are dealt with appropriately and carefully.

I would recommend your firm, as new clients we were impressed by your calm efficiency and attention to detail. I would, however, point out that we did not think the semi-transparent wall from Reception to Meeting Room was adequate to maintain confidentiality as voices could be heard quite clearly through the semi-transparent thin partition.
