If there were a Nobel Prize for conveyancing, Alan Bates would be the undisputed winner, hands down, no questions asked. From start to finish, Alan has been nothing short of legendary in getting my house purchase over the line. I honestly don’t know how he does it—he must have some kind of wizard-like powers to make something as complex as property transfer feel like a walk in the park. Alan didn’t just handle the paperwork like a pro; he took what is usually a stressful, soul-crushing experience and turned it into a smooth, stress-free joyride. The man knows his stuff inside out and always kept me in the loop, answering my endless questions with the patience of a saint and the clarity of a man who could explain quantum physics in a single sentence. What sets Alan apart, though, is his approachability. He’s the kind of person you want by your side when dealing with what could be a bureaucratic nightmare. He listens, he cares, and he genuinely seems to get a kick out of making sure his clients are happy. He was always just a phone call or email away, and never once made me feel like I was bothering him—unlike some other professionals I’ve encountered. Seriously, I think he has a time machine or something because he was always ahead of every deadline. And let’s not forget the cherry on top: when it came to the final push on completion day, Alan was there, orchestrating everything like a maestro conducting a symphony. I half expected him to burst into a dance number to celebrate. If you’re looking for a conveyancer who’s quick, thorough, and downright fun to work with, look no further—Alan Bates is your guy. He’s a conveyancing superhero, minus the cape but definitely with the skills. 10/10 would recommend—wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in a heartbeat.
