Excellent service

I had a very positive experience with Bannister Solicitors while purchasing my new home. The entire process was prompt, smooth and well organised, with clear communication throughout. They worked efficiently to ensure everything was completed on time, including an early completion which made the whole experience stress-free. I am very grateful for their professionalism and would happily recommend Bannister Solicitors to anyone buying a home.

If every conveyancer provided the level of service that Natalie does, moving home would be a much less stressful experience! Natalie was simply amazing throughout both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new property. Her communication was second to none, and she kept us informed, reassured, and supported from beginning to end. She combined exceptional professionalism with genuine kindness, making us feel like more than just another client. No question was ever too small, no problem was ever too difficult, and her responsiveness and attention to detail were outstanding. We are so grateful for all of her hard work, patience and dedication. Buying and selling a home is one of the biggest events in life, and having Natalie guide us through the process made all the difference. Thank you, Natalie. You have been absolutely fantastic, and we would recommend you without hesitation.

Sale of property

I sold my property with Yourmove and they suggested to use Bannister Preston Solicitors. I was assigned Sophie Taylor for conveyancing, she was absolutely brilliant, she gave great advice when the buyer was demanding more than was required for the sale. She was easy to contact either phone or E-mail and was always greeted me with a prompt reply. I would highly recommend Bannister Preston Solicitors, and Sophie you are a credit to the Company.

Lauren looked after us very well

I feel Lauren really did do a super job for us. Prompt in replying; helpful; friendly and professional- just what we needed in a long and tricky housing chain. We’re loving it where we’ve moved to. Thanks again Lauren.

Wow.Wow.Wow!!! Moved to Bannister Preston, specifically David Carter Hughes following a poor experience with another conveyancer. David spoke to me directly at initial contact, explained the fees upfront& ran through their processes. His clarity gave me confidence to proceed with the firm. I was looked after both in terms of the sale of my property & the purchase of another. When my original purchase fell through at the last hurdle David assured me that he would get me into my new home efficiently. He was true to his word & backed by the team including Isabelle, Sarah, Sonia, Margaret. They held my hand through the whole thing & kept me informed throughout. I would recommend them to anyone for a professional, efficient service. I genuinely felt that they understood the stresses & strains & went out of their way to minimise the impact. I felt they all cared about my experience & the provision of the best service. Thank you to David & the team.

We used Bannister Preston as our solicitor to sell our old property, and buy our new house. I cannot recommend them enough. Very thorough and efficient. Excellent communication. Even helped to solve an issue after we had completed on our new property. 10/10 and would use again in a heart beat.
