Bernie Wales, FIoD, FIRPM Reviews 130

Bernie gave me some great advice and I would highly recommend him.

I've consulted Bernie a few times over the last 10 years when I've had a leasehold issue needing some input from an expert. His advice has always been helpful and to the point and refreshingly straightforward. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Quick and easy transaction process. Would recommend.

Bernie couldn't have been more helpful in discussion the concerns I had. He took the time to pre read all documentation and provided helpful areas for me to go away and review.

He was also very prompt in following up post call and taking the time to detail some of the information we had talked about for reference.

Would recommend his consultation for anyone needing advice.

Thanks and gratitude to Bernie Wales for his willingness to share his vast property knowledge, so much appreciated.
After my telephone conversation with Bernie, I am looking forward to extend my leasehold using his services

Bernie is very knowledgeable. He gave good practical advice.

I consulted Bernie Wales regarding a leasehold property enquiry. He prepared the session well and the information he gave was very useful. I recommend him.

Bernie has been a huge help to us: in 2018 we consulted him about how to manage the leases on a very large house Victorian house converted into 4 flats, where we owned half, and our neighbour of 30 years who owned the other half was selling up. Bernie opened our eyes to the possibility that the best step would be for us to buy the other flats rather than try to amend the leases, and then manage the whole situation far better once we had total control with greater freedom to plan. We originally called Bernie to advise on how to amend leases, and he saw the bigger picture, and gave us confidence we could do it. We simply would not have had the courage to take this step without Bernie explaining how easy it would be given our equity in various properties to raise the capital needed, even though we thought we might be regarded as too old to be taking out new mortgages. It was definitely the right decision. So this year, with this very unpredictable market, we asked Bernie for advice on what steps we could take if we manage to sell our offices (with a doubling of CGT on the cards in March) and on what kind of property portfolio might be best to cope with the market we face in the post covid years. We knew this was not bang on Bernie's main expertise on leaseholds, but we judged he would have ideas to input on our holiday let ideas, and suggest where we might look for help, which indeed he did. Bernie is an excellent consultant, he is thoughtful and a good listener and brings his excellent judgement and ideas to bear on other people's problems. It is a great service he offers, and we would thoroughly recommend a discussion with him, and may well consult him again in future.

Excellent service Berne was able assist with a long standing dispose with a Management company Would recommend consultation
anyone with Leasehold issues.

A valuable 30 minute consultation with Bernie re a short lease on a flat. Highly knowledgeable and experienced.
Seek advise before you buy as it could prove to be a very costly mistake if you've not done your due dilligence correctly.

Excellent transfer of knowledge. Thank you Bernie.

Fantastic service from Bernie regarding a long lease and the freehold purchase. Bernie Wales genuinely has unmatched expert knowledge regarding leaseholds and freeholds amongst other things. I suggest others to watch him in action on YouTube first to see and decide who's expertise you want to rely on. I'll always use BernieWales.co.uk going forwards. Great job, keep it up 👍

Excellent service, Bernie goes into detail but also explains in plain english. With Bernie's advice to date, as a leaseholder I have potentially saved myself over £10k of charges by the management company.
Worth every penny and a lot more.

Great detailed support from Bernie. Thank you

Bernie Wales has been great in making sure that all my questions were answered thoroughly and clearly, which enabled me to make informed decisions about my current situation. Also Bernie is continuing to provide ongoing assistance which has been very helpful.

Bernie is the expert we'd been looking for. After speaking with many solicitors and other property professionals, we found Bernie to have the in-depth knowledge to deal with our issue around understanding our lease, directors' duties and tribunal. He was able to interpret our lease and tell us where we stood and what potential action we could take moving forward. Bernie is clear and professional, extremely knowledgeable and has agreed an action plan moving forward together. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him both in terms of expertise and cost.

Great knowledge. Very helpful

I first engaged with Bernie within a forum where he offered knowledgeable advice with regard to a leasehold extension query I had.
Since then he has helped me source the right approach to my specific requirement and I cannot fault both his tenacity and support.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Bernie when looking for advice and support with regard to any Leasehold subject matter.
