Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors

"I recently worked with Bonallack & Bishop and Jake Holmes to extend the lease on my flat, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Jake Holmes was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process. From the first consultation, Jake Holmes took the time to understand my needs and concerns, and provided me with clear and practical advice. He kept me updated every step of the way and was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. I highly recommend Jake Holmes to anyone in need of legal assistance with their property matters."

"I had been looked after by Jake Holmes at Bonallack and Bishop for over a year. I originally had difficulties with a previous firm who had made a mess of the legal process with regard to a lease extension. I have been delighted by the advice and processes implemented by Jake and his colleagues (as the firm were excellent at covering his work when he was on leave). Throughout all phases, of the long process, I felt confident I was getting the best advice and was well supported with decisions. Jake was very responsive and easily approachable to talk through and action issues as needed. Jake was also considerate, diligent, mindful and thorough. I would highly recommend using this firm for legal assistance."

"I was surprised to discover that advising on the Freehold purchase of a block of flats was not covered by a number of our regular legal contacts. This necessitated a Google search and we decided to go with B&B. With no previous relationship I have been nothing but impressed. From start to finish I cannot fault their service. The strategy and fee structure were clearly articulated at the outset and ongoing concise and pertinent information flow resulted in a number of potentially thorny issues being nipped in the bud. Jake Holmes, our contact at B&B was professionalism personified. Always either available or prompt in his response, he had an implicit understanding that one encounters from representing a disparate group of investors. His written communications were bullet pointed and easily understandable and his telephone manor both pleasant and professional. This was a transaction that due to unforeseen developments went right up to the deadline of the vendors statutory obligation and the final funds were released with literally minutes to spare. Needless to say the final day was fraught with much back and forth between the purchaser group, their representatives, the vendor and both sides lawyers. Rather than going into hiding as is so often the case, Jake Holmes was always available to offer advice and clarity and where further input was required, consulted with the relevant expert, subsequently reverting in an informed and timely manner. In short I am convinced this transaction would not have crossed the finish line without B&B and their representative Jake Holmes advice and participation."

"Needed to extend my lease and found Bonallack & Bishop online. Wasn’t sure how it would be with a company 100 miles away but pleased there was a fixed estimate for the expected work and Greta Whitaker was extremely helpful and pushed forward whenever it was needed. I would recommend the practice and Greta Whitaker too. Thank you."

"Having instructed Bonallack & Bishop to act on my behalf I have been impressed with the service I have received. From my initial phone call, I was asked to expand my request by replying to an email that led me through a process. A consultation appointment was arranged promptly at which I received advice and documents were prepared. Within a week I was emailed final drafts for approval and on acceptance I was able to sign and have witnessed the documents. From the first friendly contact with an administrator, through the consultation and then the final appointment I was impressed by the professionalism, understanding and advice given by their Advisor in a relaxed environment. It was a pleasurable experience."
