What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Divorce, house purchases and rental acquisitions recur throughout accounts of this Bournemouth practice, and what stands out is how often a single named solicitor becomes the anchor of the experience. One adviser is praised for guiding a client through separation with sensitivity, placing the client's son at the centre of every decision and supplying the information required at the right moment. Elsewhere, two colleagues are credited with diligence and availability during a residential purchase, explaining anything that was unclear. A further member of staff took on a conveyancing matter at short notice and completed within about a week of the original target, a turnaround several reviewers describe as impressive.

Another is remembered for sustaining momentum over an extended case, fielding numerous queries and keeping the client updated as matters advanced. An investor in buy-to-let property highlights an adviser who managed multiple purchases at once while remaining easy to reach. Running through the feedback are themes of clear communication before and after each stage, approachable and knowledgeable lawyers, and a willingness to spell out the detail, whether the instruction concerns a marital breakdown, a first home or a landlord's portfolio.

Extremely disappointing experience. Serious assertions regarding alleged non-payment were made in correspondence despite the payments having in fact been made and evidenced by bank transactions. The inaccuracies were significant enough that they should have been identified through even basic account verification before references to escalation and formal proceedings were issued. Given that the correspondence came from a partner-level representative, the standard of factual accuracy and account review was particularly concerning. I would expect far greater care and diligence before such allegations are made against individuals. Found the approach unnecessarily heavy-handed and disproportionate. Communication appeared far more focused on escalation, additional charges and legal pressure than resolving matters reasonably and pragmatically. In my opinion, the way matters were handled risked increasing costs unnecessarily rather than encouraging a sensible resolution.

I had a great experience with Lester Aldridge during the purchase of my new home. The process felt smooth and well-managed from start to finish. A big thank you to Natasha Mallett and Thomas Rea, who were both excellent; professional, diligent, and always available to help. They took the time to explain anything I didn’t fully understand, which made the whole experience much less stressful. I felt supported and confident throughout, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lester Aldridge for anyone going through a property purchase.

Oliver Jarvis and George Alcock have just acted for us on a sale and purchase. They were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the entire process. This is the third time I’ve used Lester Aldridge, and they have been fantastic every single time.

My husband and I were recommended Lester Aldbridge and specifically Natasha by a friend of ours. We have never felt more thankful for a recommendation. During the process of buying our first home Natasha and Jess were absolutely outstanding, they both had exceptional communication with us, they were friendly, approachable and had unwaivering patience with our questions and worries as first time buyers. We have, and will continue, to recommend Natasha and Jess to everybody we know. Their attention to detail was outstanding, they worked tirelessly to ensure they managed our expectations and push for our completion to be on time. We are so grateful for their kindness and dedication throughout this entire experience and will be using them ourselves in the future if we ever decide to move again.

Giuseppe in the family team was very helpful & kind. He gave me the confidence to seek a divorce. And he suggested mediation which helped with the financial order. And Giuseppe explained the process in simple terms. I would recommend the team & I would use them again. Although one divorce is enough for me. So I hope to not need their particular service again.

Shelley Cole and her team, Hannah and Joel, were absolutely flawless conveyancing for our purchase of our first home. We could not recommend them enough. From the very start, they were easy to communicate with, informative and quick to answer any questions that Charlotte and I had. They made our first time home purchase straight forward and they were all a geniune pleasure to deal with. Thank you so much Shelley, Hannah and Joel. We look forward to working with you in the future. All the very best Joe and Charlotte
