First Class!

We have a particularly unpleasant neighbour. 17 years ago after 5 years or more of legal correspondence we attended a mediation hearing over a boundary issue, after which all parties signed an agreement and a determined boundary was submitted successfully to Land Registry. My neighbour never reconciled himself to this, accusing all parties of corruption, and refused to abide by the agreement to such an extent that he eventually built a structure across the determined boundary. We felt forced to go to law and were recommended to Mrs. Bhavani Hogarty at Pardoes in Yeovil by the surveyor who did work for us in 2009. Ultimately we attended a Summary Judgment hearing achieving success which was entirely due to the hard work put in by my excellent lawyer and her chosen barrister Mr. Edward Peters KC.

Dear Malcolm. Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear Bhavani provided strong support in what sounds like a long-running and complex boundary dispute, and that the matter was successfully resolved through the Summary Judgment hearing. We also appreciate your recognition of Edward for his role in the case. Please contact us if you require further support.

Conveyancing Made Easy

Appointed Pardoes for our recent house sale and purchase. Sale was handled efficiently and smoothly despite a complicated chain. Purchase was easy without any challenges. Throughout both processes our solicitor Neve was very communicative and efficient, handling any obstacles with ease, and explaining everything in easily understandable terms, which made the whole process pleasurable - thank you Neve.

Flat Purchase

We had an excellent experience with our solicitors. When the first seller unexpectedly took the property off the market, they made sure we understood all the potential consequences, keeping us well-informed and prepared. When we found another property, they guided us through every specific detail involved. Their expertise and clear communication ensured that we were aware of everything necessary for a smooth transaction. Thanks to their dedication and support, the entire process was much easier than we anticipated. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive solicitor!

Pardoes staff - Sophie and Rachel - were friendly and courteous, but we did feel that the process took longer than it should have done and that some tasks could have been done earlier than they were. However, we realise a lot of delay came from the buyer's solicitors. Also, in the period following confirming the completion date, everything did happen very quickly.

Our purchase was looked after very well by Sophie Folland and her team. Sophie was very professional, friendly and was quick to respond to all our questions. Importantly for us, Sophie completed the process rapidly, in fact faster than any of our previous property purchases. We can’t recommend Sophie or Pardoes highly enough, they provide an excellent service at a reasonable price in contrast to solicitors we’ve used in the past. 5*

I had an exceptional experience with Pardoes Solicitors, particularly thanks to Sasha and Georgia, who were outstanding from day one until the exchange of contracts. Their professionalism and dedication were clear throughout the process. Sasha and Georgia made sure I was kept updated at every stage, with timely and clear communication that provided great reassurance. What impressed me the most was how smoothly they handled the exchange of contracts. Their attention to detail and expertise ensured the entire process was efficient and stress-free. Thanks to Sasha and Georgia’s hard work, what could have been a daunting experience turned out to be seamless.

I Would definitely recommend Mark

Mark Hood is an exceptional solicitor. He has a straightforward, down to earth approach that makes even complex matters easy to understand. Throughout a very difficult time, he provided invaluable guidance, support, and reassurance. Professional, approachable, and genuinely caring, Mark made a challenging situation much easier to navigate. I am incredibly grateful for his help and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice or representation.

The best solicitor I had by far!

I had the pleasure and utter luck to be able to be a client of Molly Guest. She is absolute asset to this company. Her professionalism, manorism, communication and knowledge is beyond outstanding. I could not be happier with her support during very difficult and long court proceedings. Throughout my ongoing legal battles I had many solicitors and barrister but Molly is the best out of them all. Thank you Pardoes and especially Molly for your amazing services. I will be forever grateful.

Divorce experience

This review is to thank Pardoes for their recent services - initial informative sympathetic enquiry call with Taffy , thank you, and subsequent expert handling of my case with Mark Hood. Whilst not particularly complex, I found my divorce challenging and difficult for me. From the outset, Mark ensured that I understood every step clearly and concisely, explaining what to expect, including the expected costs, so there were no hidden surprises. Ever patient and listening to my concerns, Mark was always an email or call away with his prompt responses and reassuring replies. Mark was also sympathetic and supportive, conscious of my welfare throughout, which was invaluable to the end. Even simple things like easy car parking, friendly reception and offered coffees smoothed each visit to the office. So yes, ultimately the required outcome for me and on my experience, I can recommend Pardoes professional and caring services. Most grateful appreciation to Mark for his expertise and unwavering kindness throughout- thank you.

We could not be happier with our experience at Pardoes. Massive thank you to Sasha Loveridge and Yseult Fell who provided us with a faultless service throughout. Their attention to detail, speed of response and professionalism was exceptional which really did make the experience of completing on a house a lot less stressful. Also a massive thank you to Bhavani Hogarty for arranging the process for us. I would highly recommend Pardoes for anyone seeking legal assistance.
