B&B completed the work on extending the lease on my flat. It was very easy and painless and Dale was very responsive and efficient. Would deal with them again.

This was the 5th time Bonallack and Bishop (most recently, Kirsty Armstrong) have acted for me and once again, the accuracy, quality, timeliness and customer care has been exceptional. Thank you.

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.

Emma worked with us to rewrite our wills. A professional and helpful service. A straightforward process made easier by the friendly approach and speed of work. Definitely recommend B&B Solicitors to my friends

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.

16:53 16 Feb 21

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!

I was very happy with the way that my solicitor, Anita Jones, dealt with the sale of my property. She kept me informed at all times and responded to my queries really quickly. I would recommend Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors to anyone involved in the property market

I would recommend Bonnalack & Bishop for their excellent service and professionalism. Andrew Barker handled an auction purchase to a very tight deadline over the Christmas period; naturally I was initially worried about the completion taking place on time in light of the holidays. However I needn't have worried as Andrew and his team handled everything perfectly and delivered a successful completion within the agreed timeframe. Many thanks and much appreciated!

I instructed Bonallack & Bishop (Salisbury) to deal with my lease extension, which was excellently handled by Dale Bree and his team. The process was smooth from start to finish and the case was dealt with professionally, speedily and efficiently. I was kept up-to-date at each step of the way and Dale’s communications were informative and clear. I would not hesitate in recommending this practice for a lease extension.

We recently used B&B for a Declaration of Trust and for our Wills. Emma Lockwood was fantasitc throughout the whole process.Our situatiuon was a little complicated but Emma put us at ease and made the whole process feel straight forward, we wouldn't hesitate in using her again + she has a lovely dog!!

The firm was competitive on price and efficient with service. There was a friendly attitude throughout the process. Congratulations in particular to the junior paralegal who has confirmed that the lease extension has now been legalised.

Dale Bree at Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors assisted in our lease extension. Throughout the process we received frequent communication enabling a smooth process. Overall, the process was transparent, timely and professional. We’d like to thanks Dale and his colleagues and can say we would highly recommend their services to anyone requiring property conveyancing and lease extensions.- Madeleine and Olivia.

We recently needed to update our wills and used Bonallack and Bishop in Amesbury. Clare Cox advised us and directed us to making sure our wishes were correctly recorded. The whole process was completed without fuss and in a short space of time. The good service was much appreciated.

Becca Druce was recommended to help me with a property dispute when I contacted your company after using you a few years ago for a different type of case. Both cases were dealt with fully and professionally. On this occasion I appreciated the way in which Becca kept me fully up to date and gave open ended advice which was honest and useful. She made a difficult personal situation much easier to deal with and took the time to help a satisfactory conclusion to be reached.Thank you so much, I would definitely recommend and reuse.

Called to discuss matter told to email.for free consultation. Given email.address for a junior paralegsl member. No advice given only told we are at capacity.Seems either unable to take new business as maxed out. (Unlikely)The junior paralegal can't be bothered and is cherry picking work. (She won't last long)After emailing the Junior paralegal asking for explanation as to why I was instructed to email when they are allegedly maxed out and also emailing the practice director neither party have responded.I would advise anyone looking for a professional legal team maybe look.else where as professionalism is thin on the ground.As for tims response below many thanks however the initial request was to send a solicitors letter no long or independent than something similar to your reply..so instead of having to deal with a frustrated potential client you could have acted

Highly recommended. I completed a lease extension through Bonallack & Bishop and left very impressed by the professionalism and responsiveness of their solicitors - especially Jake Holmes and Dale Bree. Very speedy responses and thoughtful updates - and at a fair price.

It is now over two weeks since I rang a senior partner at this firm after reading on their website that they specialised in helping clients with potential negligence claims. However , despite ringing the Partner ( DP) on several occasions I have not even had the courtesy of a reply..Very unprofessional .I therefore have to question its competency.

Roxanne Rogers

We have worked with Bonallack and Bishop twice now, 5 years ago and recently and would highly recommend. They are very professional and communicate clearly and regularly to keep you updated on your purchase/sale. Honestly believe our sale would have took so much longer without them! Thank you 🙂

Just completed conveyancing with Bonallack & Bishop and the service they provided was first class. This was the 3rd time we have used them! (must stay put for a while) Totally took away the potential stress of moving and they were totally on the ball! Very good value for money.

Hollie recently dealt with a property acquisition for us. She was very professional and proactive. Kept us informed with regard to progress regularly. Communication was clear and efficient. Made the whole process very easy. Will only be using Bonallack & Bishop from now on.

I can highly recommend Bonallack & Bishop for a lease extension - Jake was helpful and informative every step of the way.

Stephen Burton

recently lost my mother who had a flat with a low lease and needed some advice on how to extend it. Spoke to William who was very helpful and explained the process so clearly and I soon realised my landlord had completely misled me. Having never had a leasehold flat I was clueless. Thank you William! Also worth mentioning that when I advised my mother had recently passed, I received such empathy which is sometimes a rarity. Once I'm ready to extend the lease I will consider nobody else.

My father recently came to Bonallack & Bishop to update his Will and was looked after by Kerry-Anne Pease. Kerry dealt with the process quickly and efficiently. She was always very pleasant and knowledgable, helping with our many questions. The firm has a relaxed atmosphere and makes you feel very welcome. We would certainly recommend and return for any future legal requirements.

Martha Whatley

09:49 29 Mar 20

My partner and I just bought our first home with the help of Bonallack and Bishop, and we are so glad we chose them as our solicitor. Our case was handled by Amelia and the help she gave us went above and beyond our expectations. No question was too trivial or too challenging, and she handled our purchase from start to finish with patience, warmth and complete professionalism. We had total confidence in her throughout the process and are very grateful for everything she has done for us. We would absolutely recommend Bonallack and Bishop, and will be using them again in the future should anything arise requiring a solicitor. Thank you - deserving of the highest rating possible.

Will Fraser

Jennifer Slater at Bonallack and Bishop did all the legal work for a freehold purchase and were super. Very well-organised, good at communicating and explaining things as they went, and effective in dealing with the vendor. I would highly recommend them and would return for further work.

We have just completed our lease extension with B&B and everything went smoothly. Jake Holmes dealt with our case and was always prompt to answer our queries, pleasant and efficient to communicate with. The very reasonable price quoted to us was maintained despite there being some extra work to do. I would happily recommend Jake and the firm.

Stuart Richmond

I had to extend the lease on my flat and found Bonallack and Bishop's details on the Home Owners' Association website. From the first contact with the company I knew that I had made the right choice. My case was handled by Jake Holmes who was extremely professional, helpful and human. He took the time to explain every step of the process in terms that I could understand and was wonderfully clear in both his written and telephone communications. The whole process was handled and concluded very efficiently and I felt supported and informed throughout. I was so impressed by the firm that I asked Jake for assistance in drawing up my will. He passed my enquiry on to the right person and this has now been concluded in a similarly professional and efficient manner. I am immensely grateful to Jake and to Bonallack and Bishop for their assistance.

Kevin Smith

Seriously poor solicitors, also very inadequate staff on reception, stood waiting for confirmation of a payment recently and the receptionist went away leaving all personal information from clients on the reception desk along with cheques etc. No awareness of data protection!

I used Bonallack & Bishop for the sale of my house, and as the service provided was professional and efficient, I chose to use them again when I purchased a property, despite having moved over 100 miles away from Salisbury. All of the members of staff I dealt with during both transactions were helpful. In particular, Ms Inglis and Mr Escott responded promptly to any queries, and gave reliable and professional advice. I would definitely recommend Bonallack & Bishop.

I used Bonallack & Bishop solicitors to manage the legal process of extending the lease on my property. Dale Bree was my point of contact throughout; he gave an extremely helpful, professional and efficient service and I have no hesitation in leaving a positive recommendation.

Dave Collins

Can't speak highly enough about Bonallack and Bishop. They have successfully completed nine lease extensions with the freeholders of my block and we're so efficient and professional during the whole process.

Chris Pearson

14:13 07 Nov 19

The purchase of a property in Salisbury was dealt with efficiently by John Escott. He and Amelia (para legal I think) were readily accessible by phone for any queries, and were always helpful and approachable.I would happily use the firm again in future.

Steve Cox

12:26 07 Nov 19

My partner ( Gilly) and I , had already been to another solicitors to enquire about doing a joint Will ( mirror will) , and after not being satisfied with the response and price quoted, we decided to try Bonallack & Bishop, and I'm glad we did, as we were instantly welcomed . The person at reception went to get a solicitor to explain things to us , and after listening to Kirsty, we decided to go ahead and book an appointment. The following week, we went on the appointment and we were both impressed with Kirsty . The draft was sent to us and it was just what we asked for . A few days later we went in to sign the will .Very impressed with the friendly service by all at this solicitors. Also it was £140 cheaper than the price quoted at the other solicitors ( off the London road) .Copies were sent within 24 Hours of us signing. A big thankyou to all at Bonallack & Bishop

I initially sought assistance for Conveyancing; John E provided me with excellent advice and guidance, keeping me fully informed throughout the process. I followed this with rewriting my Will and writing a LPA, when Joanna M gave me sage advice and was sensitive to the issues involved in both matters. Both processes were painless, and left me comfortable in my new home and knowing my future intentions were clearly, and safely, provided for. Thank you.

The first time I used B&B for my conveyancing they were very good. The second time they gave me two locums and told me there was no stamp duty to pay, then at the last minute hit me with the 3% charge. On top of which they didn't provide me with some documents and I had to chase them up. Finally I had a question, admittedly after everything was finished and they ignored me. I feel they could have just answered it, it would not have hurt.

Used Bonallack and Bishop in our house conveyancing. Everything was very clear and no stone was left unturned. The price was fixed and agreed prior to commencement and all went very smoothly. John was always available to offer advice and knowledge of the situation. Would highly recommend anyone looking for this service.

A huge thank you to John Escott for working so hard to ensure the sale of our house went through on time despite it being a complicated shared ownership property. His calm experienced approach kept all the wheels turning and me feeling in good hands. I would recommend Bonallack and Bishop as an excellent firm.

I have been in property professionally full time for over three years now and I have worked with many solicitors firms which included buying, selling and re-mortgaging both in personal and Ltd Companies. To date I have used six different solicitors firms with some average, some awful and some pretty good. But the team at Bonallack & Bishop outshined them all.I takes a lot to impress me and this is exactly what Jennifer and Louise did. I gave them a pretty difficult challenge as a new client. It was a cash buy of a short leasehold proeprty (23 Year left) with a very tight deadline to exchange and complete by Friday 25 January as the seller was moving abroad and was the bottom of the chain and would have lost £9k in penalties on his onward purchase . They had 6 weeks with Christmas 2018 & New Year 2019 in the middle and they pulled off the impossible.A few days before the projected exhange date a compulsory purchase order by the council was uncovered. Louise did a fantastic job of working with the council to get all the information regarding the CPO and gave me great advice on this issue.I did not know what a good solicitors firm could do and I always thought exchanging and completing in 28 days was a myth. The team at Bonallack & Bishop proved that this could be done.I will certainly will be recommending this firm a lot and using them again in the future.

Louise Atkins

20:27 03 Feb 19

The locum solicitor and conveyancing team were fantastic, quickly caught up with the situation and got the sale completed by the deadline. I cant thank them enough.

Colin N

15:24 29 Jan 19

Fantastic efficient service. Everyone I dealt with in the organisation was quick to respond to anything that came up when I extended the lease on my property. Especially important as I am not based in the UK - so had to do everything remotely!

Raj Nagji

15:38 23 Jan 19

I found Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors to be most engaging and professional when dealing with various solicitors at the firm. I have used their services for conveyancing and more recently a lease extension which was quite complicated. Overall a great job.

Charisse Smith

15:28 07 Jan 19

My personal experience of this firm has been awful. I requested a pre -nuptial agreement which they claimed they could supply within a certain period which is why I traveled so far to see them. Upon my visit it became extremely rushed with the lady I was seeing needing to leave for personal reasons (despite booking me in), subsequently I am certain that there was a large level of explanation over the impacts various things can have on a document like this, none the less she was keen to make sure she had monies on account Things such as having a child, quite a common thing a newly married couple embark on can make this document invalid/subject to change. In my experience i feel that this firm have little experience in certain areas and are good at luring you in with a payment and commitment and then serving very vague client care letters which subsequently cover them when they let you down. As a business women my business interests change which in my opinion if the brief was not rushed in the initial meeting and questions asked relating to any changes which could impact the document I may have realised i needed to wait or that this wasn't worth doing. I'm left with an invalid document that I've been charged so far £1,500 unless i pay for a more qualified expert to review on top of this. I would not recommend this company at all.

Nathan Duncan

13:56 04 Dec 18

Used twice. Once to sort a lease extension on a flat which was a slow process to do but was handled brilliantly by Jennifer and her team. Also used to sort a change of ownership on a property and that was a big success too. Do not live anywhere near Salisbury but that was not an issue at all. If you are going to do something like a lease extension then you must use experts and these guys are experts in that tricky field.

11:08 04 Dec 18

I used Bonallack & Bishop for the extension of my lease. Dale handled everything for me with ease and professionalism. Everything was explained to me in laymans terms and in meticulous detail. I would certainly recommend to anyone wanting to go through this lengthy and somewhat complicated process. Thank you.

12:49 19 Nov 18

I used Bonallack & Bishop for an extension of the leasehold on my flat, and Kim Higgs was designated to my case.She was excellent and very effective in concluding the matter. She was always available for any concerns or questions that I had.Also Jake Holmes was extremely helpful for the wrapping up of the case.I would definitely use them again.

We dealt with Sara and she was absolutely amazing, she was always ready to reply to my emails and lead us through the process of attempting to buy our first home and went above and beyond to support us, even when our sale fell through. We will be using this company again with whatever home we find next!

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.

We recently used this firm for a house move, which also ended up involving a lease extension. The team we worked with were incredibly helpful, efficient and responsive. They went above and beyond to ensure that our chain completed on time, despite complications. Would thoroughly recommend.

Sara Rowland

13:04 10 Oct 16

Having had an excellent experience with Bonallack and Bishop earlier in the year, when they guided me through a very high pressure situation involving four conveyances at once, one of which involved a simultaneous exchange of contracts in France, with a French Notaire involved, I have now gone back to them for an equally complicated set of three contracts, all of which have to be tied into sale dates abroad.As seems usual for me these days nothing is simple and Sarah Samms is once again calmly negotiating on my behalf in order to make sure the exacting timings involved don't fail and therefore ruin what I am trying to achieve. Sarah and paralegal Hollie are so reassuring and professional and keep me calm when the going gets tough.Bonallack and Bishop provide an outstanding customer service with continuity so you are always dealing with the same person, who knows exactly what is going on with your file. You don't get this in so many firms these days.So far so good and I will report back when it is all done and dusted.

Tracey Rimmer

18:16 04 Oct 16

Bonallack and Bishop, Salisbury office provided a fantastic service from beginning to end! I had been a little worried about using a company from the internet that was not local to me, but gave it a try as they advertised expertise in the specific area of law that I required, and no-one local to me that I spoke to seemed knowledgable on the matter. The information they provided was clear, concise and their management of my case exceeded my expectation. Their communication was also excellent, keeping me updated all the way. I would definitely recommend this company.

We used Bonallack & Bishop for conveyancing and were highly impressed with the efficiency of Sara Fewell who was extremely easy to converse with, professional and thorough in all matters. The documentation we received was beautifully presented in a ring binder book, keeping everything together, and we would thoroughly recommend Sara.

Neill Rattigan

13:38 06 Aug 15

I have used Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors for over ten years. When faced with particularly demanding circumstances they made me feel at ease in there approachable manner, they made what seemed like an extremely complicated process much easier to come to terms with. Mr Bishop who has acted on my behalf many times and at extremely short notice at times, is completely faultless in his professional delivery. He took much time to explain things to me which I will be forever grateful for.I believe that it what you will benefit from when dealing with Mr Bishop, apart from his vast depth legal knowledge of course, is his emotional intelligence in the manner in which he deals with you and your issues. This, for me certainly, more than anything else is something you could not put a figure on when paying for legal professionals. I would highly recommend Bonallack & Bishop to you and in particular Mr Bishop who would be my 'go to' solicitor every time bar none, his integrity and professionalism.......simply put, you will not find better!

I used Bonallack & Bishop for the purchase of my first property. I had a bit of a nightmare with everything apart from the Conveyancing which is the part Bonallack & Bishop very professionally handled. Dealing with Bonallack & Bishop was a very easy process. Fingers crossed I will be using them again in the next few months for a house..... Thanks again.

I have used Bonallack and Bishop on many occasions for various different types of requirements from Declaration of Trust, Residential Conveyancing and now a licence agreement for a new office, even some of my staff are using the now. They are really nice easy people to deal with, especially as I needed a great deal of explanation.I would recommend them without hesitation!

Bonallack & Bishop dealt with both our lease extension and subsequent house sale and purchase very efficiently, despite certain constraints and difficulties due to Covid19. We were very pleased with how Jake and John (respectively) communicated each stage and step and was always willing to take time to explain each process. We'd highly recommend them.

I would highly recommend Bonallack and Bishop in Amesbury. Liam Oliver dealt with my divorce and consent order and throughout the whole process he remained very professional, kept me informed and stayed calm (even when I wasn’t!), offered some great advice and reassured me that we would get there when I was finding the whole situation tough. Great service, Liam got the job done. And I am now a very happy lady lol!

It has been a really easy process and less stressful knowing that all the paper work an behind the scenes things where getting done by the wonderful Liam Oliver.
Even thought lockdown Liam was good at keeping in touch though emails etc an explaining everything I needed to do.

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.

Natalie Lynch

I have just completed my lease extension with Bonallack & Bishop. The service was outstanding! I literally had no idea how to extend the lease on my flat which was time pressured due to the conveyancing that was being undertaken at the same time. I found Bonallack and Bishop through Google and I'm so glad I did. William Parsons explained the process from start to finish and made it so simple for me to understand and feel reassured that it was all feasible. Dale Bree was my direct contact once the process had began and not only was the service excellent, more importantly, it was so easy to speak with Dale either by phone or email, I always received a friendly and helpful response. I genuinely am raving about B&B, they were truly fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
