Simon Speed helped us to prepare our wills, he guided us through the process in a way that was very easy for us to understand, in a very professional and supportive manner. We want to give a special thanks to Coco who we had contact with, who made everything run smoothly thought the entire process . All the staff were very professional and welcoming, including the receptionist when we visited the office.Our whole experience was very positive.

We have just sold our house and received a great service from Jenny and Maria at Bonallock and Bishop. Very professional, helpful, friendly and approachable. They made the few bumps along the way easy to deal with and made our choices clear. Would thoroughly recommend their services.

We appointed Bonnalack and Bishop to help sell our London flat. Helen Fish was our main point of contact. She was outstanding. She is professional, competent and helpful. The sale was not straightforward as it was part of a shared estate but Helen patiently steered us through the maze of issues and kept us fully informed at each stage of the process. We would certainly use the firm again if we needed conveyancing advice.

Where do I begin I have never experienced such incompetence from a solicitor before the amount of time, effort and money wasted for completing a new home purchase which should be straight forward turned into a nightmare. Unfortunately I couldn’t use my existing solicitor for this purchase due to tight timelines and new build we were referred through a brokers panel meaning we were new customers. From the moment we engaged Helen we advised timelines are tight please if you can email/call whenever you need anything and we will prioritise your requests to avoid any delay. Our initial documents, ID and funds were sent within 24 hours but Helen failed to check wasting an entire week of critical time. Started off bad, and continued to get worse, the amount of documents required which changed each day made it extremely difficult to work with Helen causing so much stress and frustration to the point I asked for a clear list of requirements to proceed to local search request which again changed when all the documents were provided, this continued for 3 weeks to the point where our builder was going to pull out who had also not come across a solicitor who worked in this manner. In the end we gave up and moved to a different solicitors who understood our situation and was able to exchange within 3 weeks and completion in 5 weeks. If you do not want stress, time and money wasted for purchasing your next home I would stay very far away from this firm.

I used Bonallack and Bishop to complete the purchase of the freehold of a property, through an application to Court. The legal process completed satisfactorily (delayed because of the Court system) but the communication from B&B was shocking. The legal team was difficult to get hold of, and did not provide any pro active updates on progress and costs incurred. One fee note was sent for a significant sum of money without any forewarning, another was not sent at all (the first time I knew about it was when credit control chased me). Altogether a frustrating experience that I am not going to willingly repeat

Sincere thanks to Bonallack and Bishop, and more specifically to Simon Speed and Coco Middleton, for their incredible professional knowledge and help managing my recent will and LPA applications. What was a very confusing and complicated matter for me, was dealt with efficiently, smoothly and helpfully.Having had numerous dealings with other Salisbury solicitors over the past 35 or so years and been universally disappointed, I have now been using Bonallack and Bishop for all my legal issues, such as house purchases/sales etc for a number of years with complete satisfaction.I cannot recommend them more highly.With sincere thanks, Howard George

We live in New Zealand and recently sold an apartment in the North West of England. We chose Bonallack & Bishop to represent us and conveyance of our property because we had previously engaged this company as our solicitors during the purchase in 2012.Helen Fish was the solicitor and we are very pleased with her performance, professionalism, attention to detail and advice during the conveyancing process.

Szilvia K

Disappointing but not surprising.I presented a strong case to them and ask them to represent me. The receptionist, Debbie is a star. She listened carefully asked a lot of details and was very compassionate.However the firm chickened out. Maybe it was too much to chew or they very much rather cover the other side. Either way, it’s a lost chance for them to get the glory and the fame. I’m quite sure that eventually I’ll get justice, despite that this firm wasn’t interested to helping me.

I have just completed the sale of a flat, and am very happy with the conveyancing led by Africa Morante in the Salisbury office, with assistance from Claudia Newman. In the past I've often found solicitors patronising and economical with information, leaving me feeling I can't ask more questions. That was not the case with Africa or Claudia, who kept me informed and answered my questions swiftly, fully, and in a straightforward non-condescending manner. Africa's approach was professional and pragmatic, and she put a lot of effort into moving the sale forwards, avoiding getting stuck on unnecessary issues, and chasing outstanding matters. I'd definitely use Africa and the team again, and highly recommend them to others. Fees were reasonable and there were no hidden costs.

Great experience with these solicitors. They managed my lease extension for me, and were very helpful throughout. I worked mainly with Greta Whitaker, who was fantastic. She kept me completely informed the whole way through the process, handled everything well, and always made everything very clear for me. I would definitely use Greta and the Bonallack & Bishop team again.

Amy Louise

Miss Langton and Mr Pownall have been nothing but professional and friendly throughout my time with them. Miss Langton has been an incredible listening ear. Both fully explained everything in depth and kept me in the loop at all times. I couldn’t recommend them enough. They remained extremely patient at all times and dealt with my situation in a very sensitive way. Their knowledge and expertise shines through all they do and say. I have been communicating with them for a number of years and can’t thank them enough for everything they have done.

I used Bonallack & Bishop for my lease extension on a flat. I found them online and used them based on their reviews, and fast response for a quote.Jake Holmes covered the majority of the work, and I found him and the company very professional and easy to do deal with. Once the extension was completed I recommended them to a friend who also needed to go through a lease extension.

Craig Cattell

Initially I hoped my divorce would be straight forward and chose B&B for their military pension issue experience; not just their discount for Forces.Things got complicated quite quickly and Liam from B&B Solicitors was agile enough to deal with all of these complications expertly. His sage advice and guidance kept me on the straight and narrow and I certainly would have not navigated the process without his skilled guidance.I'm not a frequent reviewer but I am very happy with the outcome and professional guidance.

We used Bonallack & Bishop in our recent lease extension.

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.

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.

Steven Buckley

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.

Brian From Manchester

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.

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.

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.

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.

Charlie

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.

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 cannot possibly thank Helen Fish enough for her incredible focus , determination, support and patience when dealing with the sale of my property. She has gone above and beyond at every step and I would not consider using any other conveyancer in the future. I’ve already recommended her to friends and will continue to do so in future. An outstanding professional.

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.

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...

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.

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.
