Lease Extension

Bishop & Sewell managed the lease extension process for my flat. The process itself was lengthy however the service provided was clear and helpful throughout and I'm glad that I engaged Bishop & Sewell in this matter. I would use them again and recommend to others.

Exceptional Experience

I had an excellent experience purchasing a house with the assistance of Nicole Couzens. She was highly professional throughout, always gave clear and transparent advice and kept me informed during the whole process. I highly recommend Nicole for anyone seeking a reliable, responsive and efficient solicitor.

Conveyancing

I engaged Charles Davidson at the beginning of October 2024 to handle the sale of a prime London apartment, contracts to be exchanged before the Budget on October 30. They were exchanged at 11.0 pm on October 29.
It was a considerable feat to achieve the transaction within three working weeks in spite of an unusual and complex sale structure and a number of unexpected issues raised by the buyer.
Charles responded quickly to suggestions, showed quick and incisive drafting, dealt pro-actively with the other side and was determined to complete the transaction within the deadline.

Great experience with Charlie Davidson

We had a very good experience with Charlie on our recent house purchase. Charlie is efficient, commercial, very clear and also very friendly. Never wasting time on useless points, keeping the focus on risks and value items. It was a pleasure to work with him and his team and a seamless experience.

Karen Bright is brilliant!

We were fortunate enough to come across Karen Bright when dealing with a tricky and uncooperative Lessee. She knows her stuff and communicates in a timely, thorough and effective manner. She is meticulous in advising how to keep legal costs under control. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
