Karen made the process of selling our house the most straight-forward, stress-free experience we've ever had with a property transaction. Most buyer queries never even made it to me because they were sorted out without us having to get involved, and where there were any tricky requests from the buyer, Karen had sorted a suggested solution before contacting us. She was just so on top of absolutely everything. Thanks so much for your help!

I contacted Blandy & Blandy to help with my redundancy. They engaged with me after only 1 hour from my initial enquiry. Tim Clark delivered a first class service throughout and we achieved a very good outcome due to his knowledge, experience and negotiating skills. I would highly recommend Blandy & Blandy.

If your nervous or have had a previously poor experience regarding your home sale/purchase then please look no further than Blandy & Blandy. Especially if you specifically use Karen Pratt. We have recently sold our home and purchased another. There were 4 in the chain including us and to say we had a few challenges with the chain would be fair. Karen however was simply outstanding. From the initial quote to the final completion she regularly called us directly to update us. Replied to all our emails within 24hrs and went above and beyond to the point of ensuring things went through even when she

Very happy with the services of Blandy and Blandy.
Manisha was brilliant. Great communicative throughout and always friendly. I was completing a purchase at a similar time to several friends and I believe I was the only one who could reliably get hold of their solicitor and recieve reply's to emails in a reasonable turn around time.
Following completion of house I had to issue various notices. Pippa was again extremely helpful and managed to complete the work in less time than original quote.
Would strongly recommend.

I have had outstanding service from Kelly Chandler at Blandy and Blandy. She has been really helpful in helping me sort out my will and clear in what requirements needed to be met in order to avoid difficulties later. She was kind, helpful and professional. Thank you Tasha Bevan-Stewart for the referral.

I do not have words to explain how satisfied we are with the professional support we received from Karen Pratt. Never having gone through the process before, it all seemed so daunting and stressful but once Karen got involved, she made sense of it all. Very upbeat and always so engaged and dedicated to progress through the process without delays to help us achieve the SDLT holiday, Karen has been showing a tremendous work ethic, always responsive and very organized in her work despite dealing with a potentially big case load. We cannot recommend Blandy&Blandy and Karen and the team more! Thank

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.
Karen is nothing short of a miracle worker and I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone I know.

We can't recommend Blandy & Blandy enough! We were lucky enough to have Karen Pratt representing us for our first house purchase and couldn't have wished for a better service. She was incredibly responsive, always friendly and consistently had our back throughout the entire process.
We have heard some horror stories from friends that have used cheaper online-based solicitors and had endless delays and complications, if I was you then I'd always choose a firm like Blandy & Blandy that you know will give you their full attention when needed.
