Wills, Trusts & Probate

Slow, unsympathetic, unprofessional

Parker Bullen dealt with the estate of my stepfather after an unexpected passing and honestly made the whole grieving process ten times worse. Despite the fact that my mother’s livelihood and finances were basically on hold because of the death, they were incredibly slow, we often had to remind them of the tasks they needed to do (and were paying them SO much to do, yet they couldn’t even remember them all) and they had little care of our distressing situation. We would have to correct them about information that they already had, chase them often, and frankly, I was appalled the whole time at the lack of care they seemed to have for our situation. Would never recommend anyone use them for dealing with estates.

I thought that using a solicitor to arrange Wills and POAs for me and my husband was sensible. However, we have experienced inaccuracies both in the Will writing and the Power of Attorneys leading to delay and inconvenience for both our families. When the lady scribbled down details on scraps of paper instead of a proper form at the initial meeting, it did not fill us with confidence.

Hello Joanna, Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We always strive to provide a high level of service to all clients throughout their dealings with us, and we are sorry you feel that we did not achieve this in your case. We are sure you will understand that we will not discuss details relating to a client matter on a public platform, so please do get in touch with us directly for any specifics to do with your dealings with us.

Commercial Property

Sale of Dowtys Dinton SP3 5ES

This was a complex sale involving registration of a small area of the site of Dowtys not previously registered with the land registry owing to the original purchase plan being incorrectly drawn. The land registry was particularly slow in dealing with the case and failed to notify us as applicants of an objection to the registration. That objection which it turned out was wholly unfounded lead to a further delay and protracted negotiations with the purchaser’s solicitor and the need for insurance to be taken out . There were other detailed points relating to the services connecting to the property eventually requiring purchase of insurance policies to satisfy the purchaser’s solicitor. All these matters were handled by Tim Crarer with persistent back up from Lynda Rhodes in an exemplary manner. The success of the sale of Dowtys in a very difficult housing market was made possible by Tim’s skill and considerable patience in dealing with a remarkably obdurate solicitor acting for the purchaser . We should add the patience and skill of Charlie Stone of Rural View Estate Agents acting for us who liaised closely with Tim was of significant assistance in bringing this sale to a satisfactory conclusion. My wife and I are immensely grateful for and impressed by the real legal expertise shown by our chosen team and especially that of Tim Crarer.

Positive and friendly encounters, whether by phone, email or in person - no bots involved. Also, my conveyance was dealt with in the space of a month, with the completion date set and kept. It is rare to find such efficiency in a team of solicitors. Highly recommended!

Louise was my solicitor for the purchase of my first home. As a first time buyer, I inevitably had lots of questions, but Louise took the time to answer all of them thoroughly and directly. What should have been a straightforward chain free transaction was complicated by some complexity on the sellers' side, and Louise managed it seamlessly from my perspective. I can't thank Louise enough for making my first time buying a home as stress free as possible, I will absolutely be using Louise/Parker Bullen in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone else.

Outstanding Professional Support During a Challenging Family Matter I had an excellent experience with Parker Bullen LLP in Witney during a complex and challenging family matter. Throughout the process, the team provided professional, responsive, and reliable support. Their communication was clear, and they took the time to explain each stage of the legal process, ensuring I understood my options and what to expect. Their advice was practical, well-considered, and always focused on achieving a fair outcome. I would particularly like to thank Terri Anson-Dean and Jasmine Cooper for their dedication, professionalism, and hard work. They handled my case with great care, attention to detail, and genuine commitment. Their support helped me navigate a very difficult period with confidence and reassurance. The team's expertise, responsiveness, and client-focused approach made a significant difference. I always felt that my case was being handled diligently and professionally, and I am very grateful for the guidance and support I received throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Parker Bullen LLP to anyone seeking experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate legal representation, especially in family law matters. Thank you to Terri, Jasmine, and everyone at Parker Bullen LLP for your outstanding service and support.

I highly recommend Parker Bullen. Terri throughout my divorce provided excellent professional advice while showing genuine kindness and understanding during a very difficult time. Terri took the time to understand my needs and handled the legal process efficiently, taking much of the stress and hard work off my shoulders while I was dealing with a changing home life. She was always approachable, responsive and supportive, making the entire process far more manageable. I am incredibly greatful for her help and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a knowledgeable compassionate solicitor.

I'm not local to the Wiltshire area, but turned to Parker Bullen LLP to help and advise on an employment issue having previously been a client of Leigh Barnett several years ago. Sarah Dureau of Parker Bullen LLP provided me legal advice and guidance at a difficult and stressful time. She was calm, reassuring and provided excellent and professionally informed context to support decision making and guide me through the process. I was also grateful she took areas of concern 'off my shoulders'. Discount for Forces/Veterans was an additional bonus. All my experience of Parker Bullen has been excellent. In sum, they provide contextualised, utterly professional and informed advice which is provided in a supportive and timely way.
