Purchase of 25 Kirkwood Drive
Although the purchase of our property took more time, due to the Vendor waiting for Probate and the need to add a Pre Emption clause it was completed professionally and in a friendly and informative manner.

About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

sales & purchase
Lyndsey Bland did 2 x sales and a purchase for us and although the sales were long winded and at times very trying, she showed extreme patience and tact throughout. She was extremely helpful and kept is informed at all times. We would highly recommend her.

Exceptional Service
I feel I have received exceptional service from Bailey Smailes- specifically from Lyndsey Bland the conveyancing solicitor, and from her legal assistant Courtney Coduri. Both were consistently friendly helpful and efficient throughout the process. Lyndsey was unfailingly responsive and reassuring. Courtney deserves a medal for her kind patience and cheerfulness in dealing with my constant anxiety and endless questions. A fantastic team.

Sale of property with Bailey Smailes
Despite the drawn out process of our property sale ( with one side falling through) Lyndsey Bland kept us fully informed at all stages and when the final sale was imminent ensured the process was as smooth and pain free as possible. Highly recommend. Thanks

Lianne Akins
Divorce
I honestly don’t think I could ever properly put into words how grateful I am to Candice Pidsley and her paralegal Georgette Latouche for everything they have done for me over the last year in my divorce. I came to Candice during one of the most difficult and overwhelming periods of my life. From the very first call I made, she provided me with solid advice, giving me reassurance that there was a way forward in my very complex circumstances. From the very beginning, Candice made me feel like I wasn’t facing it all on my own. She was incredibly knowledgeable, straightforward and honest with me, even when the situation was difficult. She never made me feel silly for asking questions or for not understanding something, and she always took the time to explain things to me in a way that actually made sense. Georgette has also been absolutely brilliant throughout. She has been so patient, helpful and reassuring and I can tell she will go very far in her industry. I genuinely could not recommend them highly enough. If you are going through a difficult family or financial matter and want a team who will listen, support, fight your corner, explain things properly, I would wholeheartedly recommend Candice and the firm. Thank you Candice and Georgette for everything.
