This is the second time I have used Blandy & Blandy and in particular Stephen. The first time was for the purchase of my property, so impressed I then used his services for the sale and then subsequent purchase. It was always very easy to get hold of Stephen, we spoke on the phone when it made sense and emailing was very efficient and responsive. One of the things I particularly appreciated was Stephen's ability to explain things in a straightforward and digestible manner, especially when a couple of more complex points arose.

We were a little bit behind my buyer when it came to my purchase but we were able to catch up and then overtake in terms of readiness and this in a large part was down to Stephen's hard work and diligence, with some issues being dealt with outside of normal work hours which was highly appreciated. Highly recommend for a professional, friendly service that exceeds expectations.

Karen was amazing and made the process of buying my first house stress free. She took us through each step and always responded quickly to any questions. Also I really liked that the whole fee was discussed upfront so there was no unwelcome surprises along the way. She was very professional and was always on the case to make the process run as quickly and smoothly as it could. I honestly couldn't recommend her highly enough and am so glad we went with her as our conveyancer!

As a corporate fundraising manager for the Royal Berks Charity we have worked closely with Blandy and Blandy as they chose us as their charity of the year. They are professional, hard working and a community driven organisation. Thank you for your support so far, we really appreciate it and are looking forward to continuing our relationship.

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!

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 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 was sick (regardless of how much we told her not to worry). Her personal touch was a breath of fresh air when compared to the perceived faceless style solicitors we had experienced previously. She kept us calm when the whole chain was loosing their heads and honestly you'd be crazy to use anyone else. Thank you Karen!

A very smooth, professional experience throughout. My solicitor kept me updated on my case every step of the way. I would definitely work with Blandy & Blandy again.

The service I received from Blandy and Blandy was second to none. All of my enquiries were dealt with in a timely manner and I was kept informed and updated throughout the entire process (a property sale). I rate them very highly.

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 you!

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.

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.

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

I was highly recommended Blandy & Blandy through a family friend and they went above and beyond to help me purchase a house. Manisha was incredibly responsive and professional. Thank you very much - I am sure I will be back soon.

Having been recommended Blandy & Blandy by friends, we were delighted to be assigned Karen Pratt to handle the purchase of our new home. We really appreciated how down to earth, approachable and responsive she was during the process and felt comforted that she truly had our best interests in mind when dealing with the vendor's very over eager agents.
Karen clearly enjoys her work and made the somewhat painful process more manageable. We have already recommended Karen and Blandy & Blandy to others.

The team at Blandy & Blandy have been fantastic throughout, and simply cannot be recommended highly enough. Through a difficult time, they have offered insightful, constructive and knowledgeable advice, but perhaps more importantly, demonstrated an understanding of the nature of the work being undertaken, and offered support on a personal level. Tasha Bevan-Stewart has combined excellent expertise with a great deal of compassion, and I am incredibly grateful for the work she has provided - she and the team at Blandy & Blandy have done a wonderful job, and I am very glad to have had them representing me.
