Local Solicitors Salisbury

I had need of the services of a solicitor to guide me through a Settlement Agreement. Bonallack and Bishop helped make the whole process as simple as it could be.

With their help and support we got everything sorted within 2 weeks which allowed me to get on with my life

When my husband and I bought a buy-to-let flat it had a lease of less than 80 years and we knew we would need to either extend the lease or try to buy a share of the freehold. I made some enquiries with a local solicitor and Niki Adkins at Bonallack & Bishop was recommended to me. Since my first contact with Niki I have been extremely impressed. She provided us with invaluable information right at the start, which helped us to work with the three other flat owners to decide next steps. She recommended a surveyor who was able to help us determine what it might cost to extend the lease or to purchase the freehold. Luckily, all the flat owners decided that buying the freehold was the best option and we instructed Niki to undertake this work for us.

Although we were prepared for the process to take a year or more, we were delighted that Niki was able to help us secure the freehold in under 12 months. She made the process very clear, particularly around the costs involved, which all the leaseholders found invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend Bonallack & Bishop and, in particular, Niki Adkins for any leaseholder considering securing the freehold on their property.

I want to tell you how grateful I am for the professional, empathic and helpful way in which you handled my affairs and to wish you well in the future.

Bonallack and Bishop have an excellent matrimonial/ family affairs department and I should have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone in need of your services.

My best wishes too, to your Secretary Georgina, who has also been most professional and helpful in every way.

‘With very many thanks for all your efforts on my behalf on my divorce! I will definitely recommend you to others!!”

“Kate has guided me through what has amounted to an emotional rollercoaster in a very calm fashion. She has advised me at all times in a very clear, concise manner and has been a rock through the whole difficult process. I can honestly say that through her efforts I have come out of a divorce in much better place emotionally and financially than if I had not engaged her services. I can recommend Kate without reservation for anyone who is in need of advice / contemplating separation.  It will be one of the best decisions to make in difficult circumstances.”

Every e-mail request was dealt with promptly and the clearness of her advice was without fault.

She is also very approachable and affable which comes across in her e-mail content. I would highly recommend Niki to any of my friends and associates.”

“Thank you for all your help, support and advice Colin”.

“Thank you so much Colin for the help you gave me. The kindness from yourself at a very difficult time was very welcome”.

“I recently required the services of a solicitor relating to an employment matter and as I had previously used Bonallack and Bishop it made common sense to use them again and I knew that they had a specialist solicitor in that area of law.

I feel that their concern for their clients is explanatory at all times from all their staff. From the moment you enter the building they make you feel very welcome as they understand that it can be quite an intimidating ordeal visiting a solicitor. I felt very comfortable talking about my problem with my solicitor in a relaxed atmosphere who showed a great deal of sympathy and patience with me at all times when I was very emotional and upset. He talked honestly about my case and gave me the best advice in a very professional matter. I always felt that he was happy to give me as much time as necessary and never felt rushed.

I would recommend Bonallack and Bishop to anyone requiring legal advice because I feel that they are very knowledgeable, have a good professional ethic and are very friendly. I must say that my whole experience of using Bonallack and Bishop was extremely professional and I would certainly use them again.”

Used the Salisbury office of Bonallack and Bishop for conveyancing. They provided a friendly service and good value for money, also good communication throughout.

“My military clients when buying a property through me need a recommended solicitor who will act fast. When required I introduce them to Bonallack and Bishop who understand their transient lifestyle and are willing to communicate with them wherever they are by phone, post or email in order that the sale is completed as easily as possible. Not every property transaction is straightforward but their team ensures that whether my client is lending money to a Developer, buying a Buy-to-Let residential or a commercial building – their needs can be met. I have had nothing but positive feedback from my clients, and will not hesitate to instruct them again.”

“I used Bonallack & Bishop when buying my first home, as a first time buyer I knew very little about the whole legal process and Bonnallack & Bishop where there every step of the way with timely responses and excellent support and advise. For me they turned the whole process from legal jargon to informative information that i understood! From my initial contact with them to the day I signed on the dotted line took only 6 weeks. I couldn’t be happier with the service and even received a welcome to your new home card of which I thought was an excellent personal touch!”

“I used Bonallack & Bishop for conveyancing of my first house purchase, as i did not know the process I was put at ease with a dedicated account handler who kept me a breast of where we were and anything that was needed. The sale went through without a hitch and within a reasonable period of time, I would not hesitate in referring them to a friend or business”

“When my partner and I finally decided to become home owners, Bonallack & Bishop made the whole process a lot less stressful. Despite being familiar with the concept of buying a house, nothing quite prepares you for doing it yourself. Bonallack & Bishop were fantastic; keeping us up to date with progress on our purchase, clearly explaining everything we needed to know and always responding swiftly to the many questions we had! A friendly and professional experience from start to finish.”

“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 Solicitors in Salisbury on a number of occasions, preparing joint wills and conveyancing for a property purchases. I have always found them very professional and approachable offering excellent advice and would recommend them to others needing legal assistance.”

“The Salisbury office did a great job of helping me to get my first purchase of a property right. Thanks to their diligence I avoided a problem, which could have had serious financial penalties for me. A professional and friendly team that makes customer service a key priority.”

“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 them 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!”

“Our move from our lovely home in Andover was unplanned; we had planned to move the following year but out of the blue our “dream home” many miles away became available. The only catch was we had to achieve our sale and completed purchase in less than 3 months. From the moment we engaged with Anita Wilson the whole process was energised and when matters needed hastening Anita could be relied upon to deliver the appropriate words in a manner that facilitated prompt responses and actions. There can be little doubt what was achieved in such a short time demanded a high degree of efficiency and effectiveness as the number and volumes of searches relating to our new home testify. Throughout the whole process we relied totally on our one point of contact, Anita Wilson, who proved to be extremely knowledgeable in the subject matters.”

“I have engaged over the years the services of many conveyancing agents and found virtually all to have one thing in common, a great offer of fantastic customer service. Without exception, the truth has always been short of the claims. What I have found refreshing about working with Anita Wilson, is that on no occasion has she over promised and then, under delivered. Anita has taken the time to understand what level service and involvement I would like and have consistently delivered it. I am also very impressed with her “win, win approach” for both the client and your organisation, it’s invigorating to see a company that cares for all sides. I would without doubt recommend her to anyone who wants to engage the services of a professional conveyance.”

“I just thought I would drop you a line to say a big thank you to your firm for the wonderful service that Anita provided to me in doing the conveyancing work for the sale of my property in Ramsbury.

The sale certainly wasn’t straightforward at times, but I found Anita was always extremely professional, helpful and supportive throughout the turbulent process of the sale, which helped me to keep a calm head and it took a lot of the anxiety away from me to know that we had someone as capable as Anita on our side moving everything forward.

I will be only too happy to recommend Anita to everyone that I know involved in buying or selling property.”

“In her professional capacity when working on the conveyancing for my new property in Dorset, Anita has always shown courtesy, friendliness and professionalism, and I would recommend Bishopslaw to others based on this service.”

“We were very impressed with the service we were given, correspondence was quick, informative and reassuring. We felt the legal advice given was excellent and resulted in a positive conclusion.”

I would definitely recommend Bonallack and Bishop if you’re looking for professional, yet friendly and reasonably priced legal services.”

“In a word, Faultless. You expect any Solicitor to be honest, transparent and legally knowledgeable and of course Bonallack & Bishop are all of these. Where they differ in my view, is with their human approach, coupled to an ability to understand and unravel what can sometimes be extremely complicated circumstances (as in my case) and then provide the best and most cost effective/prudent solution(s) I have no hesitation in recommending Bonallack & Bishop and in particular Tim Bishop who brings complete integrity and professionalism to all of his dealings.”
