We used Johnathan Bishop for the transaction on the sale of our home and our purchase. I must say the process was made very smooth and was very professional. We have moved several times in the past and always had to chace solicitors. Not with Johnathan on the ball thank you.
Excellent Conveyancing Service
I have used YVA on a number of occasions to handle conveyancing work for residential and commercial properties. A firm that has always been approachable, conscientious and efficient, with a professional attitude that creates a seamless service from start to finish.

Have used YVA a couple times now and always received outstanding service. Informative and helpful. Totally recommend
Highly Recommended
As an established estate agent of 30 years we come across a huge number of solicitors and having worked with YVA solicitors for many of those years have found their service exemplary. For professionals in the industry and more importantly clients buying or selling their homes we are happy to recommend them for their approachable and friendly service.

They did my flat purchase and did really well. The communication was great and everything went through in a timely fashion. Any questions I had I was able to get hold of Jonathan quickly and were answered
Efficient and knowledgeable!
John Bishop has done numerous work for us and we have been very happy with his efficiency and support! We have recommended him to others who have also used his services and been very happy.
Excellent Service
I used Jonathan Bishop when I bought and sold my properties. He was extremely efficient and explained everything about the conveyancing procedures. He was always available and his advice helped to relieve any worries that I might have had. I am very happy to use Jonathan and YVA again and I would be very happy to recommend them

Outstanding service
I recently used Jon Bishop. I found him extremely helpful throughout the whole process of selling my flat and also purchasing my new house. He always returned my calls. Was really good when I emailed and also his secretary was always available if he wasn’t. I can only compare YVA solicitors to something like the service you receive from John Lewis. Outstanding

Jonathan Bishop acted on my purchase and was first class. He went way beyond what I expected and fought for things I didn’t know I could get. Thoroughly recommend him.

YVA has been great with a recent property transaction. Would definitely recommend that buyers or sellers use them for their legal needs.
Expert advice when needed
YVA solictors have been with me through many changes in my life and support me in all legal aspects. Especially through property purchases and sales. With Jonathan Bishop being giving expert advice that saved me losing a difficult property sale.

I have used Jonathan Bishop for several transactions now and he has been brilliant. He is always on hand and it amazes me, how he overcomes any unforeseen issues that arise. Highly recommend.
Very unprofessional service
I recently visited the office in North Finchley in order to make an appointment to see a solicitor. On entering the office I was told by a very unfriendly Receptionist to sit down and wait in a very condescending manner. When I explained to her what I had come in to make an appointment for she said "We don't walk-ins". This is my second experience of rude and unprofessional behaviour in this office. I will not be returning.
Shambolic and unprofessional
YVA represent the buyer of my property and their communication has been appalling. Very slow to respond to my own solicitor's questions and chasers for updates. Radio silence for a 48 hour period during exchange week. Refuse to pick up phone to my agent and solicitor. YVA failed to advise the buyer on basic fundamentals of house buying e.g. timescales and moving deposit funds into a client account in good time. YVA's actions have meant exchange deadline has been missed. No doubt the buyer shares a large portion of the blame for this, but with better guidance from their solicitor a lot of the problems could have been averted. If I was advising a first time buyer, I would steer them well away from YVA.
Ana-Maria Villegas Alvarez Solicitor
Firstly a huge thank you to YVA on a whole, highly recommend. A very special thank you to Ana-Maria Villegas Alvarez, my solicitor who helped me throughout the process of buying my forever home, I could not have done it without her continued support throughout the most stressful time. Ana has been a pleasure to work with. She understands the industry, works tirelessly for her clients and is very honest. No question was ever too much for her, she met all my needs in a professional, efficient and caring manner. She has a very patient attitude ensuring that I would be 100% happy with the purchase of my forever home. Currently on cloud 9

Used YVA for the sale of my flat
Used YVA for the sale of my flat.
Extremely slow to respond to myself and the buyer’s solicitor, nearly impacting the sale at one point. Would not recommend.
