About Helen


Helen originally hails from Cornwall, where she began her career. Since then, she has subsequently gained extensive experience, having worked for two large firms in Bristol, and has spent the last 22 plus years working in Dorset and Hampshire, gaining further valuable experience with other well-known firms. Helen has forged excellent relationships with clients, estate agents, mortgage brokers, and other firms of solicitors over a number of years, which is reflected by the repeat business that she attracts.


From first-time buyers to people buying their home in which they will retire, and everything in between, Helen is here to help people realise their ultimate dream at every stage of their life.


Every transaction is unique, but each one is approached by Helen with a “can-do” attitude, ensuring that her clients are always kept up to date at every stage. Where empathy is needed, Helen will provide it, but she says that the most rewarding part of the job is assisting with making people’s dreams come true.


Helen tinkles the ivories (just a bit!), she can also bake a mean Victoria Sponge cake, and most of all enjoys sipping a cocktail or two with her husband on a cruise ship whilst getting to see the world in all its glory.

"I had a positive experience with Helen throughout the purchase of my flat. She was professional, helpful, and available to answer any questions I had during the process. Buying a property can be stressful, but her support made everything far easier. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor to assist with a home purchase."

"I have worked with Helen and Nancy at Woodstock Legal for some time now and, as an estate agent, I can honestly say they are always a pleasure to deal with.


They are proactive, responsive, and not afraid to pick up the phone to talk through progress or help clarify issues within a chain or transaction — which makes a huge difference in keeping matters moving smoothly.


Communication is consistently excellent, and they always work collaboratively to get the best outcome for clients. The clients we have recommended to Helen and Nancy have always thanked us afterwards for the recommendation, which speaks volumes about the service they provide.


I would have no hesitation in recommending Woodstock Legal to anyone looking for a professional and reliable conveyancing team."

"We cannot thank Helen and Nancy enough for everything they did for us as first-time buyers. Buying a house felt so overwhelming at times, but they explained everything so clearly and made us feel reassured every step of the way. They were always approachable, efficient, and genuinely cared about getting us into our first home. The whole process was so much smoother because of them. We would 100% recommend her to anyone!"

"Excellent communicator, kept me and the wife regularly updated, can’t thank Helen enough."

"I have worked with Helen on numerous files over the years and her pro-active and go-get-it attitude sets her above the rest. Helen is incredibly approachable, quick to respond and also very patient in explaining more complicated matters. Helen and Nancy make what could be stressful, very streamlined. It's always a pleasure working with them!"

"Having worked with Helen for over 10 years in the industry, I can safely say she is a pleasure to work with. Always on hand when you need an update (even out of hours)


You can tell she really cares about what she does and delivering great service to her clients. Helen and Nancy at Woodstock are a pleasure to work with.


Keep up the great work guys!"

"Helen & Nancy made our move as stress free as possible, providing a very efficient service.

They were very friendly & approachable and always ready to answer any questions that we had.

We would have no hesitation in recommending them.. thank you again!"

"Very professional, friendly and always giving me updates. Thank you Helen Bean."

"I have worked with Helen Bean and Nancy Hacker at Woodstock Legal on a number of my clients' property transactions and have always been impressed by how they balance a professional service with a genuine personal approach.


Helen and Nancy understand that communication is what keeps a sale or purchase together. They are proactive and happy to pick up the phone to talk through property or chain issues rather than just relying on emails. Their approach ensures the legal side of moving feels clear and manageable for everyone involved.


Our clients consistently sing their praises, and I have no hesitation in recommending Helen and Nancy at Woodstock Legal to anyone seeking a professional, reliable conveyancing team"

"Helen was brilliant when I sold my house. I haven't moved house for 30 years so I had no idea what to do. She called me regularly with updates and listened to all my silly questions. Nancy was really friendly and helped me filling in all those dreaded forms.

I was looked after from my first enquiry right up until completion and cannot recommend them highly enough. 10/10 🥳"

"Helen and Nancy have been absolutely amazing during our recent conveyancing journey. I'm a carer for a gentleman who is elderly and knows little about the twists and turns leading up to exchange of contracts. They have both been amazing with him, gently explaining things every step of the way and reassuring him that things were progressing well. When things affecting the chain got complicated they were both invaluable and I'm sure the chain would have collapsed without their expertise and dogged determination. It has been a pleasure working with them both and I would recommend them without hesitation."

"Helen Bean and Nancy Hacker have been amazing! Not only do they explain everything clearly but they are extremely proactive and have exceeded my expectations in terms of communication, without me ever having to chase for updates. Thank you very much ladies, I will certainly be using you again in the future."

"Helen and Nancy are currently working on our Sale and Purchase, we have had a few hiccups but Helen has acted on them swiftly and kept us informed throughout. Helen is always available to get a hold of often responding to my emails in the evening, which I don’t expect but help ease my concerns."

"Helen and Nancy recently completed the legal work on my sale and property purchase. They were both a pleasure to deal with providing a speedy, informative and professional service. A refreshing change from most stuffy legal practices I have experienced previously. Despite set backs Helen moved heaven and earth to get the properties to simultaneously complete, I can’t thank them enough and highly recommend! :)"

"Helen and Nancy have been great so far. We are currently in the process of buying a property and they have been very responsive, friendly and informative. We receive regular updates and they are always on hand to answer any queries. We can’t thank them enough for their help to date and won’t hesitate to recommend them to all our family and friends."

"I used Helen for the conveyancing on my house sale and she was always professional, clearly explaining the process at each stage and acting promptly in all our dealings.
