What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Boscombe and the wider Bournemouth area, Chester & Co Solicitors has built a reputation through residential property work, with reviewers describing sales, purchases and first-home completions handled by the firm. Holly is the member of staff who comes up most often, praised for keeping clients informed without them needing to chase, replying quickly and remaining calm when a transaction becomes stressful. Lucy Bowater-Sivell is also named for taking time to explain each stage clearly, particularly for buyers going through the process for the first time, while Pebelle is noted for being prompt and thorough.

A handful of customers describe being kept updated proactively, receiving clear advice and having their queries answered regardless of how small they seemed. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is how problems were handled, with one sale and purchase involving a broken chain managed through persistent chasing of the other side to keep matters moving. Speed is mentioned repeatedly, including an exchange said to have been reached in three weeks and a first purchase completed in 42 days. The service is described as friendly and professional, and the same themes recur across sales, purchases and the branch itself.

A great overall experience from start to finish, especially with having Holly throughout the whole process of selling our home. Holly was absolutely fantastic throughout both the sale and purchase of our property. After making the huge decision to break the chain, it was a very stressful time! but Holly worked incredibly hard to keep everything moving and make the process as smooth and manageable as possible. She was professional and efficient, but also genuine and approachable. She always took the time to explain things clearly and keep us updated throughout. She was such a calm and supportive presence throughout, which made a real difference. We’re so grateful for all of her hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holly to anyone buying or selling a home.

I cannot thank Holly enough for all of her hard work, support, and patience throughout my house purchase. Buying my first home in England turned out to be one of the most stressful and emotional experiences I've ever been through. There were delays, problems within the chain, uncertainty surrounding my mortgage, and many moments when I genuinely thought the purchase might not go ahead. Throughout the entire process, Holly was always professional, supportive, honest, and incredibly responsive. She kept me informed, answered my endless questions, and continued pushing things forward, even when the situation became very complicated. As a first-time buyer and a single mother of two, this journey meant so much to me, and having someone I could trust made all the difference. After months of uncertainty, I have finally exchanged contracts on my first home, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything Holly has done to help make this happen. Thank you, Holly, for helping me achieve such an important milestone in my life. I truly appreciate all your hard work and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a dedicated and supportive solicitor. ❤️

Pebelle was an absolute standout as our conveyancer. She was incredibly attentive throughout the entire purchase, keeping us updated at every stage and anticipating questions before we even had to ask. Her responses were always quick, clear, and reassuring, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. Beyond her efficiency, she was genuinely supportive—calm, patient, and proactive in resolving any issues that came up. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a caring approach. We highly recommend Pebelle and will definitely return to use her services in the future.

Sophie has been superb throughout our buying and selling process. Sophie and her team have been professional and friendly even during the first experience where we were let down. We cannot recommend Chester and Co enough. Thank you Sophie and Holly for your support and advice.

We cannot thank our solicitor Holly and the whole team at Chester and Co enough for everything they did to help us through our house purchase. From the very beginning, they were professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive. Buying a home can be a stressful and emotional experience, but they were always there to answer our questions, offer reassurance, and provide clear, practical advice whenever we needed it. What stood out most was their excellent communication and genuine care. We always felt that our case mattered, and despite how busy they must be, they took the time to keep us informed and guide us through each stage of the process. Their efficiency, attention to detail, and dedication helped us reach the finish line, and we are so grateful for all their hard work behind the scenes. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a conveyancing team that is not only knowledgeable and professional but also kind, responsive, and truly invested in helping their clients. Thank you for helping us make our dream of owning our new home a reality.
