Bernie Wales, FIoD, FIRPM Bewertungen 

I just availed myself of Bernies lease reading service. Such prompt service. So grateful. Not only did he answer the questions I'd specifically asked though. He also went above and beyond, to point out suggestions with the plans I'd sent, to achieve the same second bedroom, without having to do an extension. It's heartwarming to feel cared about. Thank you !

Bernie Wales gave our Leaseholders group a very full, concise, professional and practical approach to our concerns. We would definitely recommend him for all matters pertaining to leasehold problems.

Hi

I have used Bernie’s excellent service about 3 /4 times over the years. He has a lot of experience around these areas. I was able to lean on on him like a mentor.

This is a service I wished was available across over professions.

Having known Bernie for the past 20 years seen the work that he does and how he delivers his valuable information I can honestly say that you will not find a more Knowledgeable and helpful expert on his subject.
Bernie is always on top of industry updates that help to keep abreast of sometimes complex issues and shares his information in an easy and understandable way.

The premier expert in the industry did a great job. But as important was clear, laser focussed and objective.

First class advice received from Bernie for a imminent purchase of 3 leasehold flats where refurbishment and remodelling is planned.

Bernie's mastery of leasehold has never ceased to impress; his ability to convey his many years of knowledge and experience to me and others has impressed me even more.

Very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Gave very savvy advice.

Bernie Wales is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. I learned a lot and he helped me with my situation.

1st class. Fantastic service, and guidance on matters of lease extension and License to Alter. Allows us to move forward with confidence on a deal.

Contacted Mr Wales in April 2021 and paid the full £140 to make sure I got the written replies to my questions and a final conclusion after the consultation. The chat was about 20 minutes and despite me having sent Mr Wales many pages of documents beforehand, detailing my precise situation, it was clear Mr Wales did not know much about my particular Leasehold issue or how to solve it. However, he went on to gave me his ideas and advice -that has since turned out to be useless and incorrect anyway. He did promise to send the write-up (included in the price) and even a video that would help too. But, as you might guess, I have received nothing back whatsoever in the 4 months since and have given up waiting. All I ever get is the constant stream of 'simple' flat-rental issues he appears to specialise in, but which are irrelevant to me. Therefore I cannot recommend him, particularly for anything slightly out of the ordinary.
Update, Nov 2021: despite Mr Wales's reply below, I can assure everyone her, that my question was on how I can get the Freehold to my Leasehold property (dating from June 1786) where the Lease document has not been seen for a over a century and the Landlord is unknown, but a High Court case judgement has since 'extinguished all Freeholders' but that my property is still only 'Good Leasehold' and my questions certainly were not conserning any 'Freehold land' as he strangely states. It just shows how Mr Wales 'ducks and dives' to avoid looking out-of-his-depth and incompetent.

RTBL is the most effective concise professional guidance advice ever written. You may think reading a superior and head lease may be soooo boring ; but beware because as Bernie Wales says, most accountants and lawyers don't seem to really understand what happens in real life and therefore most advice given to residential management companies about the flats they live in is similar to an Agatha Christie novel, where crimes have been committed by not understanding the plot (lease).

I contacted Bernie for a leasehold advise on a venture I am planning on taking. I was very impressed by his great knowledge and organised advise in 30 minutes and you get this for free. I recommend Bernie for all my property investors friends. Thank You Bernie.

Presented to me as the 'expert' in all things leaseholder - sadly never responds to my queries past my paid for meeting - I get emails almost daily upselling his 'expertise' I've made enquiries about Right to Manage, Freehold Enfranchisement on multiple occasions but nothing comes back.

I stand by my review, I was not expecting anything for 'nothing' or more input than was paid for - Bernie offered to review some paperwork as part of this meeting and I haven't been able to raise him since, on this or on other issues - absolutely no response whatsover until this reply to my review, It would have been far nicer to have spoken or emailed to iron out any misunderstanding but he was simply not interested. He does advertise as the person to go to with lease issues and does have 'click' responses to have a reply - absolutely zero response to anything

Bernie Wales is extremely concise and clear! he replied to my email within minutes in a very unique & pro manner, would definitely recommend him to anyone with anything regarding freehold & leasehold issues, Looking forward to doing business in the near future! :)

Everything was excellent analytical clear THE DOCUMENT Step-by-step the key points.
The only thing that was missing from my point of view was how to work out an approximate
COST.COST

Kind regards

A friend in the property industry recommended Bernie to us. We had a ground rent issue from the landlord for which we just didn't know where we stood. Speaking to Bernie gave us clarity and afterwards our options were clear. He helped us to not only understand our rights, but he helped construct emails with the correct language and sophistication to enable us to diffuse a potentially expensive and time consuming exercise. We would not hesitate in recommending Bernie, and it is very likely we will engage him again for the next step in our process!

Very helpful advice from Bernie around title splitting and helping us to prepare for a property that we planned to bid on at auction. We will definitely be working with him again in the future.

Very good sound advice. Bernie, had clearly read our pre read info and advise given was second to none. Would definitely use again. Well worth it he knows his stuff!
