Conveyancing Services : Natalie charles

Natalie was absolutely amazing throughout the entire house-buying process. She was incredibly thorough, kept me updated every single day, and made everything feel smooth and stress-free. Her communication was second to none, and I always felt in safe hands. I wouldn’t go anywhere else but Bannister Preston—Natalie is an absolute credit to the company!

We recently used Nick Earp for both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received. It was a particularly tricky chain, with slow sellers and frustrating communication from other parties, but our conveyancer was superb throughout.

Nick's professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach made all the difference. He kept us informed at every stage, often stepping in to navigate poor communication from other solicitors and stubborn sellers. His ability to keep things moving, despite the challenges, was truly impressive.

We are incredibly grateful for Nick's hard work and dedication and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, efficient, and highly competent conveyancer. Thanks again Nick for making this process as smooth as possible!

A representative from Bannister Preston Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 12 February, 2025:

Thank you for your fantastic review, Shaun. We're so glad to hear that Nick’s professionalism and proactive approach helped navigate the challenges of your sale and purchase. We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled that you felt supported throughout the process. If you need any assistance in the future, we’ll be here to help, and we’re grateful for your recommendation.

I am so thankful to Bannister Preston Solicitors firm, Sale, for helping me out of the way, especially my solicitor Ms Farah Hussain Madam who always guided me with the best legal advice. She is an expert in her field with excellent knowledge of UK laws and the judiciary system. She always replied to my queries and updated me about the case as quickly as possible. The supporting staff and barristers also did a commendable job. I am really thankful to them from the bottom of my heart to help me win my case. I would like to recommend them to others for their legal battle. Thanks again. May God Bless you 🙏

A representative from Bannister Preston Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 16 December, 2024:

Thank you so much for your review. We’re incredibly grateful to have been able to support you and to hear that Farah and the entire team provided you with the guidance and expertise you needed. Your trust and recommendation mean the world to us, and we wish you all the best in the future.
