I used B&B, more S&C really (Simon and Coco) to help me with writing a will. They had been recommended to me by my sister who had been delighted with their service and so to was I. Simon was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain some of the legal language gymnastics, left me fleeing comfortable that he had reflected my wishes well and covered various futures. Coco was superbly well organised, communicated exceptionally well and did so with a charm and humour that made me feel that I had made a friendI can recommend these guys without reservation

Bonallack and Bishop did what was merely required of them to complete the sale of my house. But, they managed it in a atmosphere of sheer uninterest and of doing what was merely required of them.In the five month sale there were no indications that the person dealing with the current enquiry was that that interested in their client. Some emails went unanswered and I only discovered later that my solicitor was largely part time, passing the case load to an equally silent paralegal. Then there was the disappearing on holiday.....True the house sold eventually but I was never kept appraised of the progress unless I asked. Bonallack and Bishop did what was required in an atmosphere of automaton and of no interest or concern for their suffering client.I'd never use them again or recommend them. 8/10 for getting the job done, but 1/10 for being human or interested.

Michelle Newton and Dinshaw Printer were professional, efficient and dealt with a sensitive case with compassion. Highly recommend

They are understaffed and after waiting a month for a two hour engagement I was told to try another firm

Rob Gibson

Liam and the team have been a fantastic support and have helped me enormously. Continually kept me in the loop at all times and have always been happy to simplify things and answer my basic questions!I would highly recommend Bonallack & Bishop to anyone who needs a solicitor!

Greta Whitaker and the team provided an excellent service in relation to a lease extension.Update - almost a year later I contacted Bonallack & Bishop for what I thought would be a simple task of verifying my ID. After two emails, two phone calls and well over a week I've not had a single unprompted response and have eventually had to go elsewhere. Hence the rating has been downgraded from five stars to three stars.

Dinshaw Printer quickly became a trusted adviser that helped me through some difficult times. His knowledge of the divorce process and the effects of the military pension are exceptional. Honest, direct and always putting my best interests as a priority. I hope my friends never have to go through a divorce, but if they do I would absolutely recommend Dinshaw with Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors..

Fantastic Service from this company especially from Liam Oliver. Everything was explained clearly regarding the process of divorce and financial settlements nor did i feel pressured into making any snap decisions. Highly recommend this firm.

Rachel Bowditch

I've just sold a property & received a great service from Maria & Jenny at the Amesbury office. Very helpful, friendly & professional. The process was very smooth & speedy. And the fee was less than originally quoted. Would definitely recommend.

Alan Ramsdale

1722244123

I was very pleased with Clare Cox's work on the administration of my late father's estate, for which she did all the work on my behalf as executor. She more than earned her firm's fee with her expert legal knowledge, which was of great benefit to his estate.

Jan Turpin

1721635113

Very happy with the advice and professionalism of the Solicitor, Mr Simon Speed, when compiling our wills. The cost was reasonable and any queries were dealt with by return (email/phone). Would certainly recommend Bonallack & Bishop, based on our experience.

Michael Ford

1720175814

Simon Speed was excellent and re-assuring to ourselves, when renewing our wills, which were in need of a comprehensive review, as they were almost twenty years old.He gave sound advice at all times and allowed ourselves to become confident that this ultimate decision had been handled both professionally and sensitively.

Nicola Rodriguez

Dinshaw expertly and efficiently guided me through a complex and difficult process with his diverse experience and eclectic knowledge. Dinshaw and his assistant Gemma, highly recommend.

Rachel Wedderburn

I have had reason to consult Carl Raybould at Bonallack Bishop in Salisbury over a property and boundary issue in which he was very knowledgeable and supportive, his advice helped me get a situation to court.I recently had to seek advice for the court hearing as Carl is not a criminal lawyer he gave me detailed advice and instruction for the date. He got back to me by phone quickly and has answered emails very fast which is not the reality with all solicitors.I highly recommend Carl Raybould his advice is mindful and he cautioned me regarding the importance of getting quotes before proceeding with a barrister. I will always give this practice and Carl a call in future for any problem.

Christian Matheou

I can't comment on the technical nuance, but I unfortunately did find the customer service fairly lacking. I worked with them in order to extend my lease, and they originally had said the process would take 3 - 6 months, but it took over a year, and throughout the process, I would have to chase them for updates - they would usually ignore the first one, and respond to the second (one or two weeks later). They did successfully complete the process; however, I have contacted them asking whether I'll receive any paperwork confirming completion, and have yet to receive any response - it's been two months, and I've emailed them three times. Really disappointing, given how expensive the whole process is.Edit: Following the review, I did receive a follow-up, which helped clarify things and move forward. I appreciated their quick response to following feedback.

Dinshaw Printer of Bonallack and Bishop Solicitors was superb in handling of all aspects of my recent divorce. Providing succinct balanced advice, in a highly efficient manner, he has an intricate understanding of divorce proceedings with the knack of making the complex simple. My only regret was not instructing him at an earlier date. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and Bonallack and Bishop Solicitors.

Richard Pitman

Simon Speed helped us to prepare our wills, he guided us through the process in a way that was very easy for us to understand, in a very professional and supportive manner. We want to give a special thanks to Coco who we had contact with, who made everything run smoothly thought the entire process . All the staff were very professional and welcoming, including the receptionist when we visited the office.Our whole experience was very positive.

We have just sold our house and received a great service from Jenny and Maria at Bonallock and Bishop. Very professional, helpful, friendly and approachable. They made the few bumps along the way easy to deal with and made our choices clear. Would thoroughly recommend their services.

Brian Plummer

We appointed Bonnalack and Bishop to help sell our London flat. Helen Fish was our main point of contact. She was outstanding. She is professional, competent and helpful. The sale was not straightforward as it was part of a shared estate but Helen patiently steered us through the maze of issues and kept us fully informed at each stage of the process. We would certainly use the firm again if we needed conveyancing advice.

Where do I begin I have never experienced such incompetence from a solicitor before the amount of time, effort and money wasted for completing a new home purchase which should be straight forward turned into a nightmare. Unfortunately I couldn’t use my existing solicitor for this purchase due to tight timelines and new build we were referred through a brokers panel meaning we were new customers. From the moment we engaged Helen we advised timelines are tight please if you can email/call whenever you need anything and we will prioritise your requests to avoid any delay. Our initial documents, ID and funds were sent within 24 hours but Helen failed to check wasting an entire week of critical time. Started off bad, and continued to get worse, the amount of documents required which changed each day made it extremely difficult to work with Helen causing so much stress and frustration to the point I asked for a clear list of requirements to proceed to local search request which again changed when all the documents were provided, this continued for 3 weeks to the point where our builder was going to pull out who had also not come across a solicitor who worked in this manner. In the end we gave up and moved to a different solicitors who understood our situation and was able to exchange within 3 weeks and completion in 5 weeks. If you do not want stress, time and money wasted for purchasing your next home I would stay very far away from this firm.

I used Bonallack and Bishop to complete the purchase of the freehold of a property, through an application to Court. The legal process completed satisfactorily (delayed because of the Court system) but the communication from B&B was shocking. The legal team was difficult to get hold of, and did not provide any pro active updates on progress and costs incurred. One fee note was sent for a significant sum of money without any forewarning, another was not sent at all (the first time I knew about it was when credit control chased me). Altogether a frustrating experience that I am not going to willingly repeat

Howard George

Sincere thanks to Bonallack and Bishop, and more specifically to Simon Speed and Coco Middleton, for their incredible professional knowledge and help managing my recent will and LPA applications. What was a very confusing and complicated matter for me, was dealt with efficiently, smoothly and helpfully.Having had numerous dealings with other Salisbury solicitors over the past 35 or so years and been universally disappointed, I have now been using Bonallack and Bishop for all my legal issues, such as house purchases/sales etc for a number of years with complete satisfaction.I cannot recommend them more highly.With sincere thanks, Howard George

We live in New Zealand and recently sold an apartment in the North West of England. We chose Bonallack & Bishop to represent us and conveyance of our property because we had previously engaged this company as our solicitors during the purchase in 2012.Helen Fish was the solicitor and we are very pleased with her performance, professionalism, attention to detail and advice during the conveyancing process.

Szilvia K

1709291965

Disappointing but not surprising.I presented a strong case to them and ask them to represent me. The receptionist, Debbie is a star. She listened carefully asked a lot of details and was very compassionate.However the firm chickened out. Maybe it was too much to chew or they very much rather cover the other side. Either way, it’s a lost chance for them to get the glory and the fame. I’m quite sure that eventually I’ll get justice, despite that this firm wasn’t interested to helping me.

Sue Carpenter

I have just completed the sale of a flat, and am very happy with the conveyancing led by Africa Morante in the Salisbury office, with assistance from Claudia Newman. In the past I've often found solicitors patronising and economical with information, leaving me feeling I can't ask more questions. That was not the case with Africa or Claudia, who kept me informed and answered my questions swiftly, fully, and in a straightforward non-condescending manner. Africa's approach was professional and pragmatic, and she put a lot of effort into moving the sale forwards, avoiding getting stuck on unnecessary issues, and chasing outstanding matters. I'd definitely use Africa and the team again, and highly recommend them to others. Fees were reasonable and there were no hidden costs.

Sophia Dixon

1708636673

Great experience with these solicitors. They managed my lease extension for me, and were very helpful throughout. I worked mainly with Greta Whitaker, who was fantastic. She kept me completely informed the whole way through the process, handled everything well, and always made everything very clear for me. I would definitely use Greta and the Bonallack & Bishop team again.

Amy Louise

1708374287

Miss Langton and Mr Pownall have been nothing but professional and friendly throughout my time with them. Miss Langton has been an incredible listening ear. Both fully explained everything in depth and kept me in the loop at all times. I couldn’t recommend them enough. They remained extremely patient at all times and dealt with my situation in a very sensitive way. Their knowledge and expertise shines through all they do and say. I have been communicating with them for a number of years and can’t thank them enough for everything they have done.

Marcus Penson

I used Bonallack & Bishop for my lease extension on a flat. I found them online and used them based on their reviews, and fast response for a quote.Jake Holmes covered the majority of the work, and I found him and the company very professional and easy to do deal with. Once the extension was completed I recommended them to a friend who also needed to go through a lease extension.

Craig Cattell

1708100168

Initially I hoped my divorce would be straight forward and chose B&B for their military pension issue experience; not just their discount for Forces.Things got complicated quite quickly and Liam from B&B Solicitors was agile enough to deal with all of these complications expertly. His sage advice and guidance kept me on the straight and narrow and I certainly would have not navigated the process without his skilled guidance.I'm not a frequent reviewer but I am very happy with the outcome and professional guidance.

We used Bonallack & Bishop in our recent lease extension.

I found Bonallack & Bishop online while seeking to extend the lease on my flat. My initial contact was with William Parsons who explained the process clearly and concisely and provided an estimate of costs I was happy with before passing me to the lease extension team of Greta Whitaker and Kirsty Dables. I was very happy with the Greta’s handling of the process and was kept up to date on progress throughout. Would definitely recommend this firm to anyone seeking a lease renewal.
