What Our Clients Say

“When the estate agent asked which solicitor we were using and we said Blandy & Blandy, they smiled and said 'Good decision... they are the best in the area.' And they were!”

Client

“If you need solicitors, Blandy and Blandy is a cut above the rest. Karen has now assisted us in the conveyance of two properties, one of which had very demanding timescales (purchasing within a chain that was completed in under 1 month). Karen was contactable, approachable and represented our best interests at all times and worked hard to keep us well informed (blocking out the "noise" and circulating key information to help keep things simple). We have nothing but praise and will be returning customers without hesitation.”

Client

“Karen is the best solicitor we have encountered and are delighted with our estate agent's recommendation.”

Client

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

Client

“The best solicitors I have ever used to purchase a property. I want to say a huge thanks to Karen Pratt who throughout the process went above and beyond in regards to her work. I highly recommend Blandy & Blandy. ”

Client

“Karen was excellent. She came highly recommended by a friend and didn’t disappoint. She guided us expertly through our first home buy and put us at ease throughout the process. She responded promptly to our messages and no question of ours was too big or small, serious or silly. You can tell she really cares. Thank you Karen. You’re a superstar!”

Client

“Karen Pratt at Blandy & Blandy just helped us buy our first home. After a terrible experience with a conveyancer last year, at a different firm, Karen came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. She's very responsive, professional and gave us the confidence that the process was safe in her very capable hands. I hope she'll still be there next time we buy a house!”

Client

“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. ”

Client

“I can’t really describe here, just how supportive, constructive and brilliant Karen was. Suffice to say, I would, without doubt, I recommend Blandy & Blandy, and in particular Karen, to anyone requiring legal services.”

Client

“I would not hesitate to recommend Karen at Blandy & Blandy to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor. Karen was always available, communicative, and extremely proactive in dealing with some difficult challenges in our chain.”

Client

“We had real issues with the seller's solicitor and Blandy & Blandy had to single hand-idly spearhead the sale, chasing up the other solicitor and correcting their mistakes. They were relentless in the way they 'battled on' on our behalf and after witnessing this, I don't think I'd ever trust any another solicitor to act on my behalf again - Blandy & Blandy will always be my first port of call.”

Client

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

Client

“I just wanted to say how much we appreciate the support you give us with our clients. Karen you have been an absolute star in helping us to achieve a high number of completed sales. We don’t take this or our amazing working relationship for granted.”

Leading estate agent

“Simply put, from first communication to the last, Karen and Blandy & Blandy have gone above and beyond our expectations with clear transparency throughout to ensure a smooth purchase. We shall 100% recommend to others!”

Client

“Thanks for all your help. We will definitely use you again you’ve been wonderful.”

Client

“I cannot praise or recommend Karen Pratt enough. Despite some of the normal challenges we encountered along the way, Karen was sharp, diligent, professional and didn't leave any stone unturned. Extremely happy with the service we received and would highly recommend Karen Pratt and Blandy and Blandy.”

Client

“My partner and I used Blandy & Blandy’s services to purchase our first home. We were absolutely thrilled with Karen Pratt’s help on this and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Client

“Absolutely excellent throughout the whole experience which was not straightforward. We went on to recommend the firm to friends who were also moving and cannot rate highly enough our experience.”

Client

“From the outset the communication was excellent and our client was given a highly professional service and felt very valued during the whole process. She has asked us to always recommend Blandy & Blandy and likewise she will be doing the same.”

Leading estate agent

“It’s been an absolute pleasure dealing with you and wouldn’t hesitate to request your services again although hopefully I’ll be staying put for a long time to come now!”

Client

Client

“Karen was an amazing solicitor for us and we always knew she had our back, which was really comforting as first time buyers.”

Client

“Karen was a delight to work with and we are now recommending her to our clients that are looking for a local conveyancing solicitor.”

Leading estate agent

“It was a pleasure working with Karen. She worked incredibly hard to help us meet a very tight deadline and kept us well informed throughout. She made our house purchase very stress free. ”

Client

“Karen could not have been nicer. She was very professional and approachable and we felt safe in her hands.”

Client

“Karen was reassuring, attentive and just outstanding. We were ready and waiting to go at least two months before the rest of the chain and this was down to Karen. However, if we thought she was good conveyancing our sale, it was nothing to the brilliant work she carried out for us on our purchase. Karen answered emails, phone calls, any query we had immediately. Outstanding.”

Client

“Karen made moving into our first home very easy. Always happy to help and explain things in a way we could understand. When we move in future I would use Karen again.”

Client

“Karen was excellent and efficient. She ensured we were always kept up to date and the purchase went through smoothly. Thank you.”

Client

“Thank you in all you have done throughout the sale. You have been absolutely amazing and so unbelievably supportive.”

Client

“Karen was professional, approachable and her ability to get a difficult job done was exemplary. She retained a sense of humour throughout which was important. I have already recommended her personally to friends and will continue to do so. We were so lucky to have worked with her.”
