I have been using Peter for over 20 years and have recommended him widely to family and friends. I trust him implicitly. If you are looking for a good, old-fashioned, personal service Mr Bailey could suit you well.
May I also add that many of the negative reviews here are by people who did NOT instruct Mr Bailey but who they encountered when he was representing someone else - I do not think they represent the service Peter offers to his customers which is diligent, thorough and trustworthy.

If you instruct a solicitor to act on your behalf for a property sale, you may not be concerned that his inactivity – even obstruction of the process – may cause the purchaser’s legal bill to DOUBLE due to almost everything having to be chased multiple times. And you may be satisfied that your sale progresses as and when – or if – your chosen solicitor can be bothered to do so. Maybe it won’t concern you that he could jeopardise your sale by levying a new, previously unmentioned additional charge on the purchaser ON THE MORNING OF COMPLETION! Or that he leaves his office in the late afternoon of completion day leaving the other parties up in the air as to whether the sale has completed successfully.
But if, instead, you expect your solicitor to act professionally, to engage courteously and reasonably cooperatively with other parties, to respond to enquiries and complete your transaction in a timely manner, in my opinion DON’T GO HERE!
Peter is by far the worst conveyencing solicitor I have ever had to deal with. The lady we bought our house from last year had instructed him, and it was a total, stressfull, messy nightmare from day one. For your own sanity PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Also in response the the gentleman who said to ignore the poor reviews, I would reply that my review has been written in good faith based on the service, or distinct lack of, that we received. With 2 very young children in the mix, buying a house is stressful enough without a very poor solicitor in the mix. I stand by this review.
