I found Bonallack & Bishop online while seeking to extend the lease on my flat. My initial contact was with William Parsons who explained the process clearly and concisely and provided an estimate of costs I was happy with before passing me to the lease extension team of Greta Whitaker and Kirsty Dables. I was very happy with the Greta’s handling of the process and was kept up to date on progress throughout. Would definitely recommend this firm to anyone seeking a lease renewal.

I would like to acknowledge the support and expertise of Bonallack and Bishop during my case. Throughout the process they were extremely accessible and kept me fully up to date on all relevant matters, I have no hesitation in recommending them to any prospective clients. Should the need arise they would certainly be my first choice.Carol walton18.9.2023

Having had a very positive experience buying our house with the help of Bonallack & Bishop, we chose them again when it came to buying the freehold of our new property. Their service did not disappoint! Jake Holmes guided us through the process brilliantly, every step of the way, ensuring we had all the information we needed all of the time. He provided regular updates and ensured the process did not take any longer than needed. We are very grateful for the help of this firm and would recommend them to everyone!

I can’t praise enough the service I received extending the lease on my flat. It was a new and daunting experience made easy and straightforward, from the initial contact, to form filling, taken through each step by step, to completing the process. All admin staff were fab, but a shout out to Greta who handled my case. She was fab from start to finish, answered all my questions and emails were responded to within 24hrs. Thank you everyone and Greta, and I would highly recommend using Bonallack and Bishop Solicitors, and if I need to I’d use them again without question.

I have found Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors very helpful during a long and drawn out 'cross border' inheritance issue I had; their staff managed all the issues and gave sound and knowledgeable advice, prompt and sustained feedback on progress, and provided correct and timely documentation. They also arranged for Notary assistance to legalise documents for use abroad and sent me these by secure mail enabling me to complete the process; a sincere thank you to Emma, Rebecca and Jill.

My contact was Greta Whittaker and the service she provided was excellent (same for the other staff who contacted me). Everything relating to freehold purchase was explained and dealt with in a timely and efficient manner, which was great at what was (for other reasons) a difficult time for me. One less thing to worry about. Many thanks to the firm in general and Great Whittaker in particular.

Very professional, great communication at every stage of buying the freehold on a family property. Would recommend Jake Holmes and his team to anyone, when navigating the legal system.

Susan Carr

Jake Holmes handled my recent lease extension process. Very professional, kept me informed at all times as to progress, and completed promptly. Always willing to explain the legal jargon and with a refreshingly wry sense of humour over some of the nonsense encountered on the way. Will definitely engage Bonallack & Bishop again for future property dealings.

Steve Soden

Jake Holmes of Bonallack & Bishop's Salisbury office acted for us in connection with the extension of our Lease and as soon as some delays at the Freeholder's end and negotiations between Surveyors had concluded, Jake completed the extension on our behalf quickly. He clearly knew his stuff and provided us with clear advice throughout. Would definitely use again.

I used Jake Holmes for a lease extension recently. He made the whole process smooth and explained everything too me. He was on top of all the dates and kept me up updated on what was going to happen and when. Highly recommend.

Great Team, Great Service, highly recommend to anyone.We had to get a lease extended and had to deal with a really nasty and unhelpful Landlord who just worked the system completely. Luckily, I was introduced Jake Holmes at Bonallack & Bishop and he made it so easy and sorted everything for us and he had all of the contacts to assist him and us. In all honesty from the moment, we started working with Jake he took all the pressure off of us and did everything and in the end, he got us a good deal.

Berlie Kelly

In my years of dealing with solicitors for property transactions, I have never had a smoother experience than I had with Jake at Bonallack & Bishop. This was for a lease extension which are notorious for taking ages and getting held up, but it was all dealt within a few months. Jake was available to contact at all times, and I don't think there was a single occasion where I didn't get an email back within an hour or two. Absolutely spot on.

Jake and Carl have both worked hard to help me complete a propertyy lease extension. It has been a slow process, with the other party slow to meet their commitments, but we are finally complete. Thanks for B&Bs persistence and vigilance the lease extension is now completed. Well done guys it has not been an easy ride!

B&B (Liam Oliver) provide excellent advice, guidance and support around a protracted family issue. I was kept up to date with progress on a regular basis and Liam was always available if I had other questions or needed further information. Professional and competitive on price. I have recommended B&B to a friend recently and would do so again.

I found the whole team very polite and professional. Jake was very helpful and always got back to me with the answers to all my questions. He was always very happy to explain any queries I had. I would use this firm in the future if I ever needed a solicitor again.

Living in Scotland, I had need of someone with local knowledge to sort out a lease extension for a property I rent out in Somerset. I contacted several solicitors in the south west and ended up talking things through with Jake. Knowledgable, clear and friendly advice at a competitive rate was backed up with good client care, keeping me informed of progress. It felt that my 'little' job was top of the pile.

Paul Read

The Andover team were very efficient with all aspects in the sale of our original shared ownership property, also with the purchase of our next shared ownership property, we were kept up to date with all developments and would highly recommend them.

I recently worked with Bonallack & Bishop and Jake Holmes to extend the lease on my flat, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Jake Holmes was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process.From the first consultation, Jake Holmes took the time to understand my needs and concerns, and provided me with clear and practical advice. He kept me updated every step of the way and was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had.I highly recommend Jake Holmes to anyone in need of legal assistance with their property matters.

Bram Ganesan

21:08 25 Feb 23

I had been looked after by Jake Holmes at Bonallack and Bishop for over a year. I originally had difficulties with a previous firm who had made a mess of the legal process with regard to a lease extension. I have been delighted by the advice and processes implemented by Jake and his colleagues (as the firm were excellent at covering his work when he was on leave). Throughout all phases, of the long process, I felt confident I was getting the best advice and was well supported with decisions. Jake was very responsive and easily approachable to talk through and action issues as needed. Jake was also considerate, diligent, mindful and thorough. I would highly recommend using this firm for legal assistance.

Edwin Otterwell

11:32 14 Feb 23

Jake was in charge of renewing my property lease and I have to say he was excellent. Very quick to respond to any queries I had and explained everything thoroughly. I have had a lot of issues with solicitors in the past so it was great to deal with someone who was superb. Cheers Jake.

I was surprised to discover that advising on the Freehold purchase of a block of flats was not covered by a number of our regular legal contacts. This necessitated a Google search and we decided to go with B&B. With no previous relationship I have been nothing but impressed. From start to finish I cannot fault their service. The strategy and fee structure were clearly articulated at the outset and ongoing concise and pertinent information flow resulted in a number of potentially thorny issues being nipped in the bud.Jake Holmes, our contact at B&B was professionalism personified. Always either available or prompt in his response, he had an implicit understanding that one encounters from representing a disparate group of investors. His written communications were bullet pointed and easily understandable and his telephone manor both pleasant and professional.This was a transaction that due to unforeseen developments went right up to the deadline of the vendors statutory obligation and the final funds were released with literally minutes to spare. Needless to say the final day was fraught with much back and forth between the purchaser group, their representatives, the vendor and both sides lawyers. Rather than going into hiding as is so often the case, Jake Holmes was always available to offer advice and clarity and where further input was required, consulted with the relevant expert, subsequently reverting in an informed and timely manner.In short I am convinced this transaction would not have crossed the finish line without B&B and their representative Jake Holmes advice and participation.

We engaged Bonallack & Bishop to extend the lease on our flat. Their team were helpful throughout the process & we would like to thank Greta Whitaker in particular for her patience, it was reassuring to have our queries answered promptly & with clarity.

Wesley Hunt

Needed to extend my lease and found Bonallack & Bishop online. Wasn’t sure how it would be with a company 100 miles away but pleased there was a fixed estimate for the expected work and Greta Whitaker was extremely helpful and pushed forward whenever it was needed. I would recommend the practice and Greta Whitaker too. Thank you.

Harriet Wills

20:52 16 Oct 22

I would highly recommend choosing Bonallack & Bishop. Jake Holmes and his team helped me with my lease extension and they made what could have been a stressful and arduous process simple - always at the end of the phone and happy to help. Great value and service

Graham Jones

09:19 16 Sep 22

Having instructed Bonallack & Bishop to act on my behalf I have been impressed with the service I have received. From my initial phone call, I was asked to expand my request by replying to an email that led me through a process. A consultation appointment was arranged promptly at which I received advice and documents were prepared. Within a week I was emailed final drafts for approval and on acceptance I was able to sign and have witnessed the documents.From the first friendly contact with an administrator, through the consultation and then the final appointment I was impressed by the professionalism, understanding and advice given by their Advisor in a relaxed environment. It was a pleasurable experience.

Peter Carr

09:29 10 Sep 22

Honest and efficient service. The work undertaken was quoted for and a small deposit taken. I am pleased with both the total cost and proffessional service I have received.

Mr Jake Holmes helped a group of us purchase the Freehold of our Leasehold properties. This involved creating a Ltd Company and unravelling some complicated property details. He kept us well informed along the way and made the process pain free.

Good Person

06:35 30 Jun 22

I used solicitor service from Bonallack&Bishop to extend my lease. I had bad experience with a solicitor firm in the past when I was purchasing my flat so was very anxious to start the lease extension and work with solicitors again. I was researching at the start and made 8 calls to 8 different solicitor firms. Only Bonallack& Bishop responded immediately, clarified one moment I was in doubt about and we went ahead. The lease extension was successful. Big thank you to Dale and Jacob for the start and finish! We just have to wait to register at Land Registry (sadly huge backlog due to Covid years) and it will be formally finished. Thank you for restoring my faith in solicitor firms. I will be using Bonallack & Bishop for my other matters as a solicitor to go to. Very pleased. 5 stars.

Terry Moran

16:52 15 Jun 22

Jacob Holmes acted for me in connection with my lease extension which, due to various reasons, was a very long and arduous process involving no less than four firms of solicitors. It was comforting to have young Jake in my corner who kept in touch regularly and answered my frequent queries in a timely manner. He competently steered us through the minefield and the process was eventually completed without injury to either of us. I am very grateful to him.

I don't think I could have asked for anymore from Hollie, Sandra & Georgia.Offer accepted to keys in about 11 weeks.Thank you very much & all online too. I didnt actually meet them and it all really so smoothly!! Also, if you are looking for someone to deal with FHTB - then this is the place!! So easy!!

11:43 01 May 22

9 months for a lease extension and still not finialised. Intially seemed good but once intrim payment was made and lease offer accepted the ball was handed to the freeholder to repsond. Dale handling my case seemed to lose interest. After some emails and telephome calls spanning a couple of months Dale finally responded saying he would chase the other party. One month later I am told Dale has left the firm and now Jacob is handling it. Can't even spell my surname correctly. Very disappointed.

Greg Donnelly

07:48 22 Apr 22

Handled a lease extension for us in an extremely clear, efficient and expedient manner. Jacob Holmes, the Solicitor on the Leasehold Property Team we used, was first class. I am happy to highly recommend him personally. (interestingly enough, the firm of solicitors we normally use turned this piece of work down saying that it was too time consuming and complicated for them to deal with!)

Paul Lievens

17:05 21 Apr 22

If you are looking for a solicitor to undertake conveyancing in a competent and timely manner, and to communicate with you regularly on progress, then avoid Bonallack and Bishop. They were instructed four months ago, appear to have done very little in that time, while I field repeated enquiries from the buyer's solicitor about B&B failing to respond to their requests for information.

Jorge García de la Nuez

10:52 18 Apr 22

Jake Holmes recently handled the freehold purchase on behalf of the residents of a small development. He kept us informed of progress and costs at all times and proactively identified errors in the other party's process, ensuring corrections were made and making sure the progress was smooth. I would recommend Jake's services, and those of the wider Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors without hesitation.

Michael Patmore

06:19 14 Apr 22

Dale Bree of Bonallack and Bishop Solicitors handled my lease extension transaction. At all times he kept me fully informed of the requirements of the process and the progress being made. The whole transaction was completed with minimal input from me and in a timely and efficient manner, and I would recommend his services to future customers without hesitation.

Denise Killoran

10:28 24 Feb 22

We were recommended this company for our Sale and Purchase, and so glad we chose them. Communication was excellent throughout. Hollie Jarvis and the whole team worked diligently on our behalf. At no time did our calls go unanswered and the responses to queries was immediate, not once during the whole process (and there were complications) did we have to chase them. Thank you Hollie, Anita and Georgia and the whole Team.

Kieran Iyer

12:35 23 Feb 22

Tim and the team at Bonallack and Bishop provide an efficient and friendly service. Would highly recommend using them for Commercial Contracts and Property Transactions of all kinds.

Further update I'd like to add to my initial review below. I needed two urgent updates with the Land Registry Office. On both occasions I contacted Greta Whitaker to see if she could expedite the applications. Greta got onto it both times and was able to successfully expedite the applications. My new house purchase was in danger of being delayed having already exchanged contracts so I'm particularly grateful to Greta for her urgent response and help in getting that sorted.I used Bonallack & Bishop for the purchase of the freehold on my property. I hadn't used them before and so was a little apprehensive given the importance to me of what I was asking them to undertake. Bonalack & Bishop have been been outstanding and talked me through the process, expected timescales and provided regular updates along the way. I'd especially like to thank Greta Whittaker who was the Paralegal handling my case. Greta has been excellent throughout the process, very patient, understanding and responsive. Thank you Greta and thank you to the wider team for helping me to achieve something that had been weighing heavy on my mind.

Mike Bishop

10:45 27 Jan 22

This is the second time I have used B&B for house frehold business. Once again they provided an excellent service. All dealings have been professional and friendly, in particular Jake Holmes who attended to our case throughout. I would have no hesitation in using their services again.

Mark Cook

15:53 12 Jan 22

We extended the lease of a flat and Bonallack & Bishop carried this out with a minimum of fuss. Constantly in touch at every stage and I would thoroughly recommend them.

11:04 18 Dec 21

Excellent service. We needed to extend our property lease and Bonnalack & Bishop were incredibly supportive, efficient, polite, patient, responsive- and all at excellent value for money. I really Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you very much for guiding us through what is a very complex system and could have been very stressful for us.

Richard Gibb

10:01 03 Dec 21

Initial advice provided by the firm was initially wrong and subsequently corrected when peer reviewed. When I raised my concerns about the fees charged for a poor service the response was not to engage personally but to signpost me to the complaints process. Not the way I would handle a legitimate customer grievance.

Alan Rogers

12:41 01 Dec 21

We recently used Bonallack & Bishop (Salisbury) to establish a family LPA. All matters were handled in a considerate, professional and diligent manner by Micky Revell and we would not hesitate to use or recommend Bonallack & Bishop again.

Nic Barrow

Jen, Hannah,Thank you so much for your expert advice, and flawless last minute execution, in helping us achieve this once in a lifetime opportunity to buy our freehold of 42 apartments...You cannot imagine how meaningful it is to us that we are finally free!We thought the least we could do is send you a small token of our appreciation…. so please look out for two bottles of champagne from the mail man!Without you both, there is not way we would have got this done - and our ancestors / heirs will be delighted with you!Russell and Nic‘The Woodall Close Boys’, Milton Keynes.

Bonnalock & Bishop were my third Solicitors. I changed previous solicitors after completing each work. (For obvious reasons) With this firm we completed two cases and have just obtained my quotation for a third one. I feel safe and good hands with them. İ kept changing my mind on a lease extension and they were very patient and helpful until I made my mind. Good firm, good systems, good solicitors. Thank you Dale and All!

Karl Topliss

13:22 21 Oct 21

Inflexible with meetings, poor communication over meetings and times, in six weeks no progress was made - I would not recommend using the Amesbury Branch of this Firm. Personnel I dealt with where Anita O'Neill and Kirsty Armstrong.

John Martin

14:15 18 Oct 21

The service provided by Dale Bree at Bonallack & Bishop was excellent. All the information and the answers to my queries were provided without delay, and I was never in doubt about the process or the fact that it was progressing as fast as possible. Recommended.

Mr Daver was very helpful and thorough in his guidance on creating a Shareholders' Agreement between 3 parties with international implications. Highly recommended.

Kevin Brown

12:03 02 Oct 21

This was the first time Bonnallack and Bishop (B&B) represented us, when we asked them to manage the sale and transfer of our freehold interest in a piece of land in Andover. The matter was not straightforward and complicated by the fact that the land was not registered and the title deeds had to be found and retrieved from archive storage. Also, the process began just when the second lockdown started last Christmas. Despite this B&B handled the matter in an efficient, courteous, professional and friendly manner throughout. Special mention to Jake Holmes who took over the handling of the matter fairly early on and maintained regular contact with us. Many thanks Jake for your help and assistance.

Callum Plüss

16:45 24 Sep 21

I have twice made use of Bonallack & Bishop's services, once for a lease extension on my flat, and then subsequently a property sale and purchase.In both cases I've received extremely professional and responsive service from them and would highly recommend for both of these purposes.The process of buying and selling property (especially leasehold) can be a long and stressful one but having a good solicitor who you feel is listening to you, is on your side and is proactive makes all the difference, and that's exactly the level of service I received from this firm.

Darius Dumskis

09:04 22 Sep 21

I would highly recommend Bonallack & Bishop, it is great litigation firm. I would like to say many thanks to Solicitors Sarah and Rebecca for excellent work and helpful manner. They were so thorough, persistent, fair and transparent to the end.

Dean

08:00 04 Sep 21

I used Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors to increase my lease. Kim Higgs was my solicitor, she did a fantastic job dealing with an awkward freeholder and a very slow solicitor representing him. I highly recommend using them and her if you need to increase your lease.

Jenny Jenkins

14:35 01 Sep 21

I would highly recommend Bonallack & Bishop In resolving lease extension from start to completion they have dealt promptly and professionally with the whole process. They have made what was a daunting prospect for me a stress free experience that I needn't have worried. special thanks to William Parsons and Dale Bree

Zachary Estes

15:07 23 Aug 21

Simply superb service. I needed to extend the lease on my flat, and I had the good fortune of working with Dale Bree on this. He was extremely responsive, informed, and professional. We got the whole thing done very quickly and painlessly, even though I was away from the UK at the time.

Asna Siddiqui

16:14 19 Aug 21

I used Bonallack & Bishop for the lease extension on my flat and am very glad I did so. They were always very responsive, courteous and helpful. They kept me informed every step of the process and were extremely professional and I would like to acknowledge Dale Bree in particular for this. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

C. R.

08:33 15 Aug 21

Requested legal advice from this firm - no reply for over a month, despite the reception staff's best efforts to obtain it from their legal colleagues. If you have a matter that requires a response in what might be considered a more reasonable administrative timescale you would be well advised to seek assistance elsewhere as apparently they're overloaded with conveyancing work currently.Update: With regard to Mr. Bishop's invitation here for me to e.mail him directly to allow him to find out what went wrong, I followed it up almost a month ago, and received no reply to that either. There would appear to be more concern here with damage limitation of adverse reviews on sites like this than customer service. Enquirers and potential customers of this firm are warned.

Chris Seddon

09:41 10 Aug 21

Bonallack & Bishop have helped us with the lease extension on our flat, and at every step of the process they have been friendly, helpful, and professional. All of our questions and concerns have been answered, and we've never felt out of the loop or in the dark about anything. We would have no hesitation to recommend them to anyone looking for a helpful and professional solicitors. Thank you for all your help and hard work.

Glenn McGregor

12:37 05 Aug 21

An all-round very good experience with Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors related to a property lease extension. Both the solicitor and the para-legal associated with the extension were very attentive, responded to my questions promptly and kept me updated. In sum a very good level of professionalism for which I am grateful.

Samantha Wright

12:53 30 Jun 21

I have just purchased my house using Bonallack and Bishop's conveyancing services and I am so glad I chose them. Hollie and Sandra were brilliant at keeping me informed of progress and managed to get us to completion by the very tight deadline. Their impeccable communication meant that I was able to trust everything was in hand and made the process much less stressful than previous buying and selling experiences.I would highly recommend them.

hing lee

I highly recommend Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors. I used them to extend the leasehold of my flat. I found them extremely knowledgable and very helpful, and would answer my queries in a timely manner. They were also good value for money. I would highly recommend them, and found Dale Bree a pleasure to work with. Thank you B&B!

Alison Thomas

I have just completed my leasehold extension through Bonallack and Bishop and have found the service excellent. My case was assigned to Dale Bree who kept me informed of all developments and advised on the best course of action. I particularly found helpful his pro-active summary of legal terms within the documents I had to review, which allayed any concerns I may have had and made the process as efficient as possible. Additionally, their estimates on overall costs turned out to be accurate. I definitely recommend B&B for leasehold extensions.

20:52 10 May 21

Absolutely stunning service from Bonallack and Bishop. The outstanding Caroline Chandler navigated some very tricky moments when selling our late fathers estate, without her professionalism we would’ve been truly bunged up! So excellent was this experience that I immediately used them to purchase my own house, and it was all just perfect. A wonderful, accessible, contactable, respectable, professional and very much a caring company. Thank you Bonallack and Bishop and thank you so very much Caroline Chandler.

I chose Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors to act for my lease extension. Dale was excellent throughout. He was clear on the process and timelines and when things were held up on the freeholders side he supported with chasing and keeping me up to date. Highly recommend!

Great experience with Dale from Bollonack & Bishop - very responsive, professional and friendly - able to explain what was going on during the lease extension process in a way I could understand it. He was on the ball and made sure I didn't miss any deadlines.

Andrew Barker dealt with my house sale and purchase with some added unexpected twists and turns with ease, keeping me feeling very well looked after throughout the whole process. Not forgetting Alex too who dealt with more than one or two phone calls from me leaving me feeling well informed and calmer! A1 Bonallack and Bishop Solicitors. I would recommend them to anyone and would not hesitate to use them again.

Needing some pre-conveyancing advice without the benefit of meetings because of Covid-19 lockdown, I found that dealing with Bonallack & Bishop by telephone and email only was just as efficient and friendly as my previous experiences face-to-face with equally concise and sound advice. My thanks to Jake Holmes and the team he is a part of.

We have just completed as a first time buyers through Hollie in the Andover office who looked after our purchase. She made the whole process very easy for us and was able to put our minds at rest and talk us through how it was all going to work. She realised that I was a first time buyer and pretty much offered to hold our hands. I cannot thank Hollie enough for being patient, answering all questions and being so professional to make it possible for us to have our first home.Thank you again for all you help Hollie!

Greta did a great job of sorting out our lease extension. This had got lost in the covid backlog so Greta took over quite a cold case. She politely and regularly chased the other side, keeping me in the loop so I was reminded to add my chasing to Greta's until the other side finally sorted out their paperwork. I'm very happy we have our lease extension now, thanks to Greta.

Jake and Jen, it’s been a pleasure to have you on our case with regards to purchasing our leasehold for our block of flats! You certainly had a lot of patience dealing with us newbies as we knew nothing about this process. You breezed through it, professionally, efficiently and quickly.

Jen, Hannah,
Thank you so much for your expert advice, and flawless last minute execution, in helping us achieve this once in a lifetime opportunity to buy our freehold of 42 apartments...
You cannot imagine how meaningful it is to us that we are finally free!
We thought the least we could do is send you a small token of our appreciation…. so please look out for two bottles of champagne from the mail man!
Without you both, we would never have gotten over the line...

We've just completed the lease extension on our property, and Dale Bree has been absolutely fantastic all the way through the process. Helpful, friendly, professional, and quick to reply to any questions or concerns we had about anything. We were a little worried about starting the process, but once we found Bonallack & Bishop, they made it all seem very easy and straight-forward, which is exactly what we were looking for.

Thanks again to Dale and all involved in our case. You've been wonderful!

Jake Holmes has handled two legal matters for my brother and I and I would highly recommend him to anyone with property problems. Jake kept us informed of what he could do to help us and produced reports that enabled us to make informed decisions. He perfectly understood our needs, and was able to compile a letter to our Residents Company, which perfectly hit the mark. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Bonallack & Bishop again, and would ask again for Jake’s assistance.

We (my wife and I) were looking for a solicitor, and Bonallack & Bishop were recommended to us by a family member.
We found them to be efficient, friendly and helpful, showing endless patience with our inexperience of legal matters.
Even under Covid-19 restrictions, our dealings with both Anita and Clare went without any problems, and we are delighted with the results of their labours.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this firm to anyone.

Thank you so much

B&B have handled the purchase of the Freehold of our property during the year and have handled the job superbly well at a very reasonable cost.
Jennifer Slater managed the legal process in a very timely and efficient way.
On completion of the Freehold Purchase, B&B Organised appropriate lease extensions. This was handled by Amelia Inglis who was extremely helpful in
managing this process keeping those involved throughout aware of each stage.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Bonallack and Bishop for property related transaction.

I have just used Bonallack & Bishop to sell my property. I chose to use this firm again as they had previously help the sale of my Mum's property when she died. I found the staff very efficient professional but friendly and sympathetic. This extends from the lady in reception to Amelia who dealt with all the legal work. They certainly make a difficult time less stressful and are always on hand should you need them. Best of all is their rates are very reasonable. I don't think I will ever use anyone else for any legal matters in the future.

Very professional and great people who helped me get on the property ladder. When looking to buy my first home I was very overwhelmed and had no idea where to start. Anita was always there when I had questions to ask and always made sure I was 100% certain and explained everything in detail. The process was easy from the start right through to us moving in. I received a welcome pack to include a step by step guide so I knew exactly what to expect. The help and advice was second to none, I was supported all the way even after completion. I would definitely recommend this company and thank you again for all your help.

Chris Turner

I completed a lease extension with the help of Dale from Bonallack & Bishop and the whole process was as simple as it could possibly be. Dale kept me regularly updated and explained things clearly and simply at every stage. I am just waiting for the final paperwork, this is due to Land Registry delays and I have every confidence everything will come through as promised once they get their act together! The fees involved were also reasonable in my opinion. Would highly recommend for a lease extension.

Fantastic service & a pleasure dealing with. Dale was always proactive and keep me up to date with a lease extension, these are not easy to deal with and most other solicitors avoid them. I would definitely reccomend them for lease extensions as they do have extensive knowledge and experience on them.
I have also just instructed them to deal with a sale & purchase and hoping to recieve the same great professional service.
