My wife and I approached Scott Bailey to complete our wills. We had been with a different law firm in Lymington, who had become quite awful. We did the right thing, as Scott Bailey was excellent. Very professional. A big shout-out to Danielle.

Thank you so much for looking after us all and Dads estate.
Thank you very much for all your hard work with our wills
Best wishes and I�ll continue to recommend Scott Bailey as the best conveyancers in town!
To Victoria and James and the Worlds Best Conveyancing Team, Thank you for all your help selling my uncles house, It was kind of a nightmare with the buyers solicitors and I'm grateful for all you did.
I have found ScottBailey solicitors to be commercially inflexible and potentially very expensive. My aunt is seriously ill in hospital and may not survive. I am one of my aunt’s closest living relatives. ScottBailey is named as the executor of her Will but wants to charge me £350 for a consultation (or £500 if we want an “emergency consultation”) to discuss the situation. I think this aggressive commercial approach is completely inappropriate in the circumstances and demonstrates a serious lack of both customer focus and empathy. I recommend avoiding this practice.
Dear Gary, We were very sorry to hear about the difficult circumstances behind your enquiry, but unfortunately we cannot provide legal advice, particularly where an appointment with our solicitors is requested at very short notice, without charging for our services. We remain happy to help should you wish to engage us in the future. Kind regards, Scott Bailey LLP
LYMINGTON RESIDENTS BEWARE!!! No probate needed, No conflict between beneficiaries, - Simple task: Sell house and divide funds. - Executor Fees £28,672.00 + VAT. - Fair UK Executor Fees £3,000–£4,000 --- Preposterous Katie Dougan! _ Scott Bailey Solicitors.
Dear Charles, We are sorry you have left this review, and we do not consider it at all fair. In fact, it is inaccurate, bordering on defamatory, and we would suggest you withdraw it. Where we are appointed as executors, we have legal and professional duties to administer estates properly, which can take longer than expected as more transpires, particularly where property and various third parties are involved. We cannot of course comment further on the specifics in a public forum due to confidentiality obligations, but we are confident that we followed our legal and professional obligations in this matter. Kind regards Scott Bailey LLP
I can’t praise Scott Bailey enough for their support in selling my late mum’s property. Victoria Smalley, Associate Partner, was exceptional — professional, responsive, and always one step ahead. She kept us fully informed, ensured we understood each stage, and handled the complexities of an estate sale with overseas beneficiaries with real care. A difficult situation was made far easier thanks to her dedication. Highly recommended.
Dear Helen, thank you. We are so pleased we were able to help at such a difficult time. We will pass on your kind comments to Victoria and the team.
The worst service ever! My dad appointed Scott Bailey as executors to his estate. Fairly straightforward, quoted at approx. £5k. 4 years and £32000 later this is still not resolved. Only ever took action when chased. Broke GDPR regulations by sharing my address with all named in the will, then covered each others backs. They got his name wrong and referenced a completely unrelated property and referred to him constantly as a file number. Not at all sympathetic when people are grieving. I appreciate there was a property to sell but this completed early 2025! Keep well clear!!
Dear Debbi, We are sorry that you are unhappy with your experience. We would not normally comment on specific matters on a public forum, however due to the serious nature of your comments, we feel obliged to address certain elements. Where we are appointed as executors, we have legal and professional duties to administer estates properly, which can take longer than expected as more transpires, particularly where property and third parties are involved. Your concerns about service and data protection were formally investigated some time ago through our complaints procedure. Our conclusion was that no GDPR breach occurred and our duties had been met. We are sorry that this matter has been distressing during a period of bereavement. While we do not recognise some of the assertions made, and feel your review is not entirely fair, we do use all feedback to try to constantly improve our client service, including levels of communication with third parties. We cannot comment further on the specifics in a public forum due to confidentiality obligations, but remain willing to engage constructively through appropriate channels. Scott Bailey LLP
Scott Bailey have previously been engaged on personal property transactions but most recently dealing with probate trusts enactment of my mothers will following her passing . They also acted on our behalf as we sold her house. I only have the highest praise for the firm & their employees. They acted with professionalism & empathy at all times. They communicated on a timely basis in language that was easy to understand & made what might have been a quite stressful time into one that was stress free.
Dear Ian, thank you for your kind review. We are really pleased to hear you were so well looked after at such a difficult time. We'll make sure your comments are shared with the team.

We had some differences of interpretations over a local authority contract, and Scott Bailey reassured us that we were being reasonable, which was very welcome

Cannot thank the team at Scott Bailey enough during our house buying process. James Burford was incredibly responsive, reassuring and reliable and I would 100% recommend.
Thank you for the great review, Ruby!
Azmi and her team were extremely professional throughout the process and achieved an outcome far better than I had hoped for. They were kind, patient and sensitive, explaining each stage clearly enough for me to understand without overwhelming me during what was a very stressful time. Their fees were transparent, and all costs were communicated clearly throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Dear Camilla, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We will make sure your kind words are fed back to Azmi and her team.
Scott Bailey were instructed on the sale of a house in Lymington. They were thoroughly professional, efficient and helpful from the outset until completion. I particularly appreciated the partner, James Burford's, straightforward and friendly approach.
Thank you, Nigel, for the kind review! James is brilliant - we'll make sure your review gets back to him and the team.
Great service very friendly staff all very efficient no problems
