    Excellent service

    I dealt with Sophie Taylor at Bannister Preston. She was brilliant, so efficient and made the whole process seamless. She responded to my emails so promptly and the sale went through quickly. I like the way they have own online portal where all the form filling is done through it. I was apprehensive at first about using a solicitors using an online portal etc and they weren’t based where I live , but it certainly was not an issue and I am using Bannister Preston for another house sale. I would definitely recommend you use these solicitors.

    We recently used Bannister Preston for our first house purchase and were very impressed with the service. Nick Earp and Krishna Parmar were prompt, professional and patient throughout the process. They explained everything clearly and guided us step by step, which really helped take the stress out of buying our first home. We’d be happy to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and supportive solicitors and will ourselves be using them in the future!

    We have used Bannister Preston as our conveyancer on two properties we have purchased over the last few years. Natalie was our contact for our recent sale & purchase, and was excellent from start to finish. Super efficient and responded to us very quickly, which was much appreciated during a stressful few months. I would very much recommend.

He was always quick to respond to any queries and was extremely patient with any questions I had. Daniel was quick to get the necessary work done and get me in the loop throughout the process.

      Disappointed

      It appears that a conveyancer these days never looks at previous questions they have asked you. If a buyers solicitor asks a question they just forward to the seller without looking to see if the question has been asked previously. I had to answer several questions twice. It also seems that information needed when selling a property has to be known by the seller, even though they are not a qualified conveyancer. Checks were left until the very last minute, providing delays in exchange. I will be very careful choosing a solicitor when selling my own property later in the year, needless to say it will be a different company. They say “buyer beware” - in this case it was “seller beware”

      Dear Trudie, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were frustrated with the level of repetition in questions and the timing of certain checks during your transaction. We appreciate how stressful delays in conveyancing can be, especially when you are working towards exchange, and we understand your concerns about communication and process management.
