Hayley Warmington“I used Bonallack & Bishop for the purchase of the freehold on my property.

Hilal Paksoy“This was the first time Bonallack and Bishop (B&B) represented us, when we asked them to manage the sale and transfer of our freehold interest in a piece of land in Andover. The matter was not straightforward and complicated by the fact that the land was not registered and the title deeds had to be found and retrieved from archive storage. Also, the process began just when the second lockdown started last Christmas. Despite this B&B handled the matter in an efficient, courteous, professional and friendly manner throughout. Special mention to Jake Holmes who took over the handling of the matter fairly early on and maintained regular contact with us. Many thanks Jake for your help and assistance.”
Kevin Brown“Bonallack & Bishop have helped us with the lease extension on our flat, and at every step of the process they have been friendly, helpful, and professional.

John Martin“Bonallack & 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 knowledgeable 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.”
Tracey Rimmer“Fantastic service and a pleasure to deal with. Dale was always proactive and kept me up to date with a lease extension, these are not easy to deal with and most other solicitors avoid them. I would definitely recommend 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 and purchase and hoping to receive the same great professional service.”
S Rahman“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.”
S Hardyman“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 & 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 Bonallack & Bishop, they were truly fantastic and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
N Lynch“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!”

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.
Good Person
I used solicitor service from Bonallack & Bishop to extend my lease. I had bad experience with a solicitor firm in the past when I was purchasing my flat so was very anxious to start the lease extension and work with solicitors again. I was researching at the start and made 8 calls to 8 different solicitor firms. Only Bonallack& Bishop responded immediately, clarified one moment I was in doubt about and we went ahead. The lease extension was successful. Big thank you to Dale and Jacob for the start and finish! We just have to wait to register at Land Registry (sadly huge backlog due to Covid years) and it will be formally finished. Thank you for restoring my faith in solicitor firms. I will be using Bonallack & Bishop for my other matters as a solicitor to go to. Very pleased. 5 stars.
Michael Patmore
Dale Bree of Bonallack and Bishop Solicitors handled my lease extension transaction. At all times he kept me fully informed of the requirements of the process and the progress being made. The whole transaction was completed with minimal input from me and in a timely and efficient manner, and I would recommend his services to future customers without hesitation.
Terry Moran
Jacob Holmes acted for me in connection with my lease extension which, due to various reasons, was a very long and arduous process involving no less than four firms of solicitors. It was comforting to have young Jake in my corner who kept in touch regularly and answered my frequent queries in a timely manner. He competently steered us through the minefield and the process was eventually completed without injury to either of us. I am very grateful to him.
Clemmie Norrington-Davies
Mr Jake Holmes helped a group of us purchase the Freehold of our Leasehold properties. This involved creating a Ltd Company and unravelling some complicated property details. He kept us well informed along the way and made the process pain free.
Harriet Wills
I would highly recommend choosing Bonallack & Bishop. Jake Holmes and his team helped me with my lease extension and they made what could have been a stressful and arduous process simple – always at the end of the phone and happy to help. Great value and service
Greg Donnelly
Handled a lease extension for us in an extremely clear, efficient and expedient manner. Jacob Holmes, the Solicitor on the Leasehold Property Team we used, was first class. I am happy to highly recommend him personally. (interestingly enough, the firm of solicitors we normally use turned this piece of work down saying that it was too time consuming and complicated for them to deal with!)
Callum Plüss
I have twice made use of Bonallack & Bishop’s services, once for a lease extension on my flat, and then subsequently a property sale and purchase. In both cases I’ve received extremely professional and responsive service from them and would highly recommend for both of these purposes. The process of buying and selling property (especially leasehold) can be a long and stressful one but having a good solicitor who you feel is listening to you, is on your side and is proactive makes all the difference, and that’s exactly the level of service I received from this firm.’
pandora sweet
Excellent service. We needed to extend our property lease and Bonallack & Bishop were incredibly supportive, efficient, polite, patient, responsive- and all at excellent value for money. I really Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you very much for guiding us through what is a very complex system and could have been very stressful for us.

I particularly found helpful his pro-active summary of legal terms within the documents I had to review, which allayed any concerns I may have had and made the process as efficient as possible.

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.

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. It 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 property (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 exchange 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 certainly will be recommending this firm a lot and using them again in the future.
Raj Nagji
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.
Denon Ambris
Further update I’d like to add to my initial review below. I needed two urgent updates with the Land Registry Office. On both occasions I contacted Greta Whitaker to see if she could expedite the applications. Greta got onto it both times and was able to successfully expedite the applications. My new house purchase was in danger of being delayed having already exchanged contracts so I’m particularly grateful to Greta for her urgent response and help in getting that sorted. I used Bonallack & Bishop for the purchase of the freehold on my property. I hadn’t used them before and so was a little apprehensive given the importance to me of what I was asking them to undertake. Bonallack & Bishop have been outstanding and talked me through the process, expected timescales and provided regular updates along the way. I’d especially like to thank Greta Whittaker who was the Paralegal handling my case. Greta has been excellent throughout the process, very patient, understanding, and responsive.

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.
Nathan Duncan
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.

I recently contacted Bonallack & Bishop on how to approach my lease extension. William Parsons got in touch and gave me very detailed information by e-mail, and also on the phone, on all possible avenues and the cost of each option. He undertook an initial lease report and also chased the other party to get in contact with us. So impressed with the service and professionalism of the firm that I have decided to leave my business with them. No doubt I’ll also use them in the future for other unrelated matters. Lola G.

Freehold purchase made easy!!
After years of being fleeced by our Freeholder and the appointed Management Company to our building, myself and 4 other leaseholders contacted B&B to see if they could help. Jennifer Slater called me the same day and we spent about an hour on the phone together. She really listened and carefully advised me on the options available to us with relation to buying the Freehold (This was before I even appointed them) I felt so assured by this initial conversation that I quickly appointed her to complete the collective enfranchisement agreement. Jennifer more or less guided the whole process for us and now we own our own Freehold. I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention that she gave us.
Dblondon
I used the solicitors for a lease extension dealing with the company was very positive experience Dale Bree was excellent and all the staff I spoke to were very professional the cost was very reasonable. Highly Recommended. Thank You All.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for your assistance in this matter. I had been a little worried about using a company that was not local, but gave it a try as you advertised expertise in this specific area and anyone local I spoke to did not appear knowledgeable in this area.”
“Throughout the lease extension negotiations Jennifer remained both charming and polite, despite the additional pressure imposed on her when unexpectedly having to take on a former colleague’s workload, and I know I speak on behalf of the whole family in thanking Jennifer for her efforts in achieving our goal of the lease extension and its registration with the Land Registry.”
“Throughout this process Dale and Bonallack & Bishop have been fantastic, and very prompt with replying to any queries that I had with answers and advice. Rest assured that I will definitely be contacting them again in the future with any housing or legal issues that arise”
“We were really impressed with how quickly and smoothly you organised the lease extension and we were happy we chose you. No doubt I’ll need a solicitor in the future and I’ll definitely contact you again.”
“Your information was clear, concise and your pursuit of this matter exceeded my expectation whilst keeping me updated all the way. I would definitely recommend your company.”
“Can I just say a big thank you for all of your help on the lease extension. You’ve been fantastic throughout. You are a credit to the profession
