Charlie is a consummate professional. He dealt with our case well even with challenging personalities. He balanced it all with flair and brought it all to a speedy conclusion whilst keeping an eye on costs too.

Excellent experience with Charlie @ Bishop & Sewell

5

Charlie took on conveyancing on my first property when my previous solicitors fell through and couldn't have done a better job. He was great at communicating with me keeping me in the loop at all times, which was not my experience with the previous firm. His rigorous explanation of the process when I transferred the deposit money stopped me from being scammed out of a significant amount of money when hackers posing as the estate agents accessed my emails and asked for additional funds to secure an exchange. He was a joy to work with, always good humoured and available to ask questions which as a first time buyer I found very reassuring. I couldn't recommend working with him more.

Sale of property

Huge thank you to Charlie who worked tirelessly on the sale of my property, which was not straightforward. He was always available to chat with, calm nerves or provide reassurance. His legal expertise is excellent. I would not hesitate to call upon him in the future.

I've just got the keys for my first home, Thanks for Charlie and Shivani that makes my life sooo much easier as I have no idea what shall I do as I'm very busy at work and no experience at all, but with their guidance step by step, I'm completing the deal in 1 and half month even its a summer holiday in the middle, but it's been done without any problem.
It has been a great experience working with Charlie, who is very experienced and has been very helpful throughout the way. Highly recommended for those who is still looking for solicitors!

Will definitely be instructing again

Charlie Davidson acted for us on the purchase of a property to an extremely tight deadline and with difficult sellers. He remained professional throughout, giving me reassurance and clearly explaining the process and the issues we came across along the way. He got us over the line with time to spare and I will definitely be using him for our next purchase and recommending him as well.

Absolutely Brilliant Service

5

I can't thank Charlie Davidson enough for his professionalism and diligence in handling the sale of my late Aunt's property. Unfortunately we had a buyer who was not very pleasant but Charlie rose to the challenge and quickly resolved the matter resulting in a quick exchange and completion. Charlie is by far the BEST Solicitor I've ever used.
I would highly recommend Charlie Davidson to new clients.

Highly Recommended

This was my first experience with a solicitor. Charlie Davidson was highly recommended by an acquaintance. It was a pleasure dealing with him. Throughout the whole conveyancing process, he showed a high level of professionalism and proficiency in dealing with the matter and demonstrated good ethics. He was always accessible and responsive to all my questions even during busy periods. I would not hesitate to employ him myself again in the future and to recommend him to friends.

Would recommend

5

We were really pleased with the service Charlie provided us. We were first time buyers and fairly clueless, but Charlie took the time to explain everything to us and guide us through the whole process. He was very proactive in raising questions to the seller's solicitors and resolving any outstanding issues. Charlie came recommended to us by a friend, and we have not hesitated to recommend him to others looking for a conveyancing solicitor.

Many thanks to Charlie Davidson for his professionalism in dealing with the sale of my property. I engaged Charlie following a personal recommendation from a property investor friend. Throughout a complicated conveyancing process, Charlie remained focussed on achieving a successful completion. He was creative and resourceful in finding solutions to some difficult legal points and worked with multiple parties to achieve the best possible outcome. I also found Charlie accessible and responsive during a period when he was extremely busy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Charlie and employing him myself again in the future.

I own an estate agency practice in the Midlands. I was full of trepidation instructing a solicitor practice I was not familiar with. We had 3 weeks to purchase this property and Charlie Davidson pulled it out of the bag. If you are looking for a totally independent review this is it - do yourself a favour if you are purchasing a property in London USE THIS COMPANY
