Professionals to be relied upon.

I am currently in the process of divorce and buying/selling property. The conveyancing has been made difficult by an obstructive solicitor further down the chain. However, in spite of this, I have been very well advised, supported and kept up to date by both of my solicitors, and their associated team members. I have felt, and continue to feel completely confident in the good humoured service they provide. I am so glad that I chose these thoroughly splendiferous solicitors to assist me through this challenging time in my life.

Competent and Compassionate

Hannah and her colleagues made the delicate task of drawing up our wills (against a backdrop of my husband's progressive illness) as comfortable and pain-free as it could possibly be. We never felt rushed, and much appreciated the care taken to explain applicable aspects of law to us.

Successful outcome after a year of trying to move

We employed Parker Bullen in October 2023 when we sold our apartment in Rustington, West Sussex and put in an offer on a house in Downton, Wiltshire. The sale fell through though we found a new buyer in February 2024 and renewed our interest in the house in Downton. Although the sale went extremely well, we encountered a string of issues with the purchase and had to pull out in June. Four months of homelessness followed using Air BnBs, hotels and helpful relatives around the country until we were able to move to a new-build house in Fordingbridge at the end of September. Throughout this adventure/nightmare, Parker Bullen provided good advice and a forthright, professional approach to achieve a satisfactory conclusion.

Fantastic experience

We used Karen, Issy and Lucy’s expertise to purchase our first home and had a fantastic experience with them. As first time buyers we didn’t really know what to expect with the process but we were guided through with ease. The communication was amazing as we were kept fully up to date and any queries we had were responded to very quickly. We would happily use Parker Bullen again and would highly recommend them to others. Thank you again!

Grant of Probate

Parker Bullen efficiently and extremely quickly organised the Grant of Probate for my late husband. They also liaised with the Land Registry to update the Title Register for my home which also happened very quickly. I will definitely use them again and will highly recommend them to family and friends.

Disappointed

At 4pm on Sunday 4th August (which was the day before Karen went on holiday), we suddenly received a flurry of emails regarding items we presumed had already been dealt with. It seemed she was having a catch up on matters that she should have attended to some time previously. It included belatedly raising questions with our vendor in response to a form he had filled out in June.
We had raised questions with Karen on at least two occasions regarding the septic tank and had no response, but then her locum raised questions as to planning permission and building regulations for this with the vendor's solicitors.
We feel we did not receive the care and communication that the substantial fee merited.
We were grateful to Sara Blackburn for giving the conveyance her attention and enabling us to exchange contracts.

The family department at Parker Bullen, Salisbury were amazing at helping me navigate my way through a very tricky time. Suzanne was incredibly supportive and dealt with everything in a very professional manner. Communication and information were regularly received and anything I did not understand was fully explained. I highly recommend their services.
