What Our Clients Say

“When the estate agent asked which solicitor we were using and we said Blandy & Blandy, they smiled and said 'Good decision... they are the best in the area.' And they were!”

Client

“The best solicitors I have ever used to purchase a property. I want to say a huge thanks to Karen Pratt who throughout the process went above and beyond in regards to her work. I highly recommend Blandy & Blandy. ”

Client

“Karen was excellent. She came highly recommended by a friend and didn’t disappoint. She guided us expertly through our first home buy and put us at ease throughout the process. She responded promptly to our messages and no question of ours was too big or small, serious or silly. You can tell she really cares. Thank you Karen. You’re a superstar!”

Client

“Karen Pratt at Blandy & Blandy just helped us buy our first home. After a terrible experience with a conveyancer last year, at a different firm, Karen came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. She's very responsive, professional and gave us the confidence that the process was safe in her very capable hands. I hope she'll still be there next time we buy a house!”

Client

“From the get go, Karen Pratt at Blandy & Blandy has been exceptional. What started off as simple sale/purchase turned into a disaster, but Karen steered us through this with her expertise, calm nature and kindness. She worked phenomenally hard to make sure we were in our new home before the stamp duty deadline, chasing solicitors where needed and always keeping us in the loop. ”

Client

“I can’t really describe here, just how supportive, constructive and brilliant Karen was. Suffice to say, I would, without doubt, I recommend Blandy & Blandy, and in particular Karen, to anyone requiring legal services.”

Client

“I would not hesitate to recommend Karen at Blandy & Blandy to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor. Karen was always available, communicative, and extremely proactive in dealing with some difficult challenges in our chain.”

Client

“We had real issues with the seller's solicitor and Blandy & Blandy had to single hand-idly spearhead the sale, chasing up the other solicitor and correcting their mistakes. They were relentless in the way they 'battled on' on our behalf and after witnessing this, I don't think I'd ever trust any another solicitor to act on my behalf again - Blandy & Blandy will always be my first port of call.”

Client

“Karen Pratt at Blandy & Blandy made the process of selling our house very smooth. She was professional, responsive and good humoured throughout - would definitely recommend!”

Client

“Karen could not have been nicer. She was very professional and approachable and we felt safe in her hands.”

Client

“Karen was reassuring, attentive and just outstanding. We were ready and waiting to go at least two months before the rest of the chain and this was down to Karen. However, if we thought she was good conveyancing our sale, it was nothing to the brilliant work she carried out for us on our purchase. Karen answered emails, phone calls, any query we had immediately. Outstanding.”
