Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors Avis 

We used Bonallack and Bishop to sell our holiday home and as we live near Fordingbridge it was really good to be able to pop in with documents and enquiries to that branch where Anne Whitely was lovely and very efficient. Chris Tate in the Salisbury office, who over saw it was very good and pleasant and easy to get hold of on the phone. We felt we were in safe hands and will use them in the future. Also Elizabeth Webbe has been very good and helpful doing our Lasting Powers of Attorney. I would highly recommend these solicitors.

We sold two houses and bought one with Bonallack and Bishop Solicitors. While our experience of moving house was extremely stressful, Hollie and the team were great and did what they could to assist with issues outside of their control. The team were on the ball and didn't cause any hold ups for us. The pricing was reasonable; and from past experience it's certainly true that paying a little more for a professional solicitor rather than a remote, online only conveyancing firm is worthwhile.

From start to finish , the team have been fantastic, no issues to small and great communication throughout the process
5 stars

Avoid this company at all costs. Very poor customer service, especially the conveyance service. I had the worst experience with these solicitors. They never respond to emails unless threatened with legal action, they do not do their job unless prompt to do so. We wasted 6 weeks of the house purchasing process because of them. And ironically, they act like the client has no right to ask them to do their job, it almost sounds like they’re paying the client and not the other way around. Absolutely ridiculous behaviour, unacceptable, and unprofessional.
They allocated one of their solicitors to represent us, then got a locum solicitor, then a paralegal and lastly 2 trainee paralegals, to look after this process. What a mess! Avoid these people.

Absolutely wasted our time, don't respond to email, don't answer the phone. When you complain you are the problem and they don't have time for you. Clearly they have far more work than they need as customer service is does not exist.

Terrible service and zero customer care
Very slow, only move forward after chasing them and almost filing a formal complaint twice
In 4 months that the process took, bearing in mind it was a freehold with no chain and the house was empty, saw a couple of people in the same conditions but with more responsive solicitors to manage everything in 6 weeks, they never answered a single phone call or call back, not even once.
One thing I know for certain, they will not be participating in any deal that I am involved, it will be a deal breaker.
Don’t recommend, not even to my worst enemy

Hollie, Anita & Sandra have all been very helpful, responsive and informative. They made the process stress free and I would recommend them as a team to anyone. Thank you

My wife and I had put off doing our Wills and LPAs for far too long, and we were unsure about some aspects of both documents.
When we first contacted Bonallack & Bishop most of our concerns were explained by Anita, and we were each sent a questionnaire for the Wills, and LPAs,in preparation for our appointment with Simon Speed.
The questionnaires were really helpful in understanding what information was required, and gave us time to consider those difficult questions posed by Wills and LPAs. At our appointment, Simon used our questionnaires to go through each document thoroughly, explaining each element, and the outcome of decisions we had made. We were then sent the draft documents for checking, and a date was arranged for signing. At the signing, Simon went through each document to confirm our intent and accuracy, then the Wills and LPAs were signed. The whole process was thoroughly explained and made straightforward.
I would recommend Bonallack & Bishop to anyone wanting a Will or LPA with particular thanks to Simon and Anita for their knowledge and help.

We used them to buy our freehold. They were very unprofessional and lacked communication. Twice, they almost missed deadlines for us, and they completed the purchase of the freehold without getting the financial data from the other side, so we ended up losing money. We paid about £5,000 in solicitor fees to get such a poor service.

Awful, they have done nothing since onboarding process complete in February and now my valuation has expired and I will incur more fees, no action, impossible to speak to anyone. 5 years ago in my original purchase they were great, now I need to tell everyone to avoid them completely! Such a shame

We used Bonallack &Bishop for the sale of my late mother's home. They dealt with the process in a timely manner and were so helpful with all the queries raised. We would have no hesitation in recommending them. Maria was excellent.

Chris Tate was a legend during this process and we couldn't have completed without him

I'm very sorry to say that I have been completely 'ghosted' by this firm (a senior partner, no less) since I asked if they would consider using Mercury signing for the conveyancing of my daughter's flat, as she resides in Australia.
I am taken back by this, as it is so unexpected from a so-called professional legal practice.

Tim, I find it almost impossible to believe that you were not aware of my emails sent to you at 5.23pm on the 24 March 2026 and 11.16am on the 31 March 2026. I copied in your colleague, William Parsons and my daughter, who received both emails. Neither of the emails came back to my Inbox as having failed to send.
I believe you are denying receiving my emails to try and save face here on Trustpilot.
I would not instruct your company, nor recommend it, regardless of whatever you have to say now. The damage done to any association we may have had is irrevocable.

Several properties we have sold now through Bonallack and Bishop. The service we received was very professional and most importantly proactive. Maria and Jen are very knowledgeable and brilliant problem solvers. Having been unfortunately entangled with other conveyancing services, we now truly recognise how efficient and effective both Maria and Jen are. The standard of work and level of communication, we were very impressed, and we set the bar high, our family having practiced in law. We definitely would recommend and will use again in the future. Thank you for ensuring a somewhat complicated sale reached the finish line. Thank you for going above and beyond. Best wishes Gareth and Family.

Professional, smooth process. Responded quickly to emailed enquiries and questions. No reason not to use for my next house purchase. Thank you.

This is the 2nd time I have used the Andover team for conveyancing, initially on the purchase of my shared ownership property in 2020, and recently on staircasing of the same property. I found Hollie and Sandra very easy to work with, responsive to communications, and happy to answer my many questions. Thank you for helping me with this process.

Hollie Jarvis - We would recommend Hollie and Her colleagues in the Andover office .
The sale of our late mother’s house was dealt completed with care and professionalism. We had a few issues with land registry that were dealt with promptly and we were kept up to date throughout.
Will definitely come back for any future property purchase /sales.
Thank you Hollie .

We chose Bonallack & Bishop for the conveyancing of our house sale and were allocated a solicitor at their Amesbury branch. As the property was in Salisbury we were slightly surprised. Initial contact by phone was prompt and helpful, particularly when we failed with the electronic ID checker.
We spotted a couple of errors in the contract terms, quickly resolved, but perhaps better proof reading would have avoided the problem.
The office staff and conveyancing team were very polite and courteous although they weren't always easy to contact by phone.
The conveyancing was completed swiftly, with no issues arising.

Hollie Jarvis is an excellent conveyancer!
I have returned to her several times over the years and she always gives a superb service, is very easy to communicate with and is so knowledgeable.
I would highly recommend to anybody!

We had an excellent experience with Bishops Law for our conveyancing. The service was professional, efficient, and well-organised from start to finish.
The team handled every step of the process smoothly, keeping communication clear and timely. Their support made what can be a stressful experience completely straightforward.
We highly recommend Bishops Law for anyone needing reliable and professional conveyancing services.
