    First Class Service Once Again

    Once again Rebecca and the team at BSG Lancaster have given superb, friendly, service. I needed new powers of attorney to be filed following my marriage last year. I received great advice on my options, prompt completion of the documents, and highly professional and caring support throughout. I trust this firm absolutely and highly recommend them to anyone looking for legal services.

      Excellent Conveyancing

      BSG recently did the conveyancing for our sale and purchase of property. Pippa Weld- Blundell, Jodi and the team were excellent being highly responsive and accessible. Our estate agent also commented on how easy they were to work with. Thoroughly recommended.

      We were delighted with the conveyancing service received by bsg recently, especially as the house sale required first registration owing to lost deeds. Sophie and her team were professional and approachable at all times, and the advice given was spot on. This was all done at long distance, but nothing was too much trouble for them. I would recommend bsg to others and intend to use them again for conveyancing when the time comes.

      Many thanks for leaving a review which is much appreciated. We look forward working with you again in the future.

      I have used Pippa before when I was a first time buyer and she was brilliant then. The time come after nearly 10 years to move and I knew I wanted to use Pippa again. She was great the first time, but honestly her and Jodi have been fantastic this time. Pippa I cannot thank you and your team enough, you’ve listened to me rant, cry down the phone to you and ask a million and 1 questions! If your looking for a brilliant solicitor who will take the time and go through the whole process with with. Pippa is your person! Thank you!

      I consulted Emma at BSG to see if we needed new wills and whether to put an investment into trust for our daughters. Emma was so approachable and immediately put me at my ease. She was wonderful and her advice invaluable which allowed me to make my decisions. Emma is extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgeable and I can’t praise her enough.
