Excellent First Time Buyer Experience

We worked with Charlie Davidson on the purchase of our first property and had a fantastic experience. Charlie was very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient in keeping things moving and ensuring our questions were answered. He helped us to understand the legal jargon and we felt very supported throughout the whole process. We cannot recommend Charlie enough!

Would give 0 stars if I could

Had a very poor experience using Charlie Davidson for the purchase of a property. His negligence in handling the matter directly caused the deal to collapse as the seller withdrew due to the excessive time taken, resulting in the loss of the property and ensuing financial damage, as well as a loss of months of my time and stress to myself. The entire process took seven months before it collapsed, which was totally unreasonable. Throughout the whole process, the communication from Charlie was extremely poor, and at a critical point in the purchase he totally ignored all communication attempts for a month, causing additional stress. Charlie also seemed to struggle with managing tasks in his inbox and dealing with the other party. Having reviewed the communication between both solicitors, Charlie made several errors in requests for information, did not chase issues adequately and did not pass all relevant documentation on to myself. It would appear that Charlie was severely out of his depth with this transaction and was not being managed properly. From dealing with his manager after complaining, there appears to be a culture of mediocrity across the whole conveyancing team. Once I took matters into my own hands, I was able to get information from the seller within one week that Charlie and his manager had claimed they were unable to get despite them trying for over three months. Indeed, the seller also advised me to make a complaint to Bishop & Sewell due to the delays their poor handling of the matter were causing. Bishop & Sewell charge higher fees than many other firms, however they do not provide any value for this. Their work was some of the poorest quality professional services I have ever received. I would strongly advise that if you want your property deal to complete and be dealt with in a professional manner, you look to another more competent firm.

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.

We engaged Charles Davidson as he was highly recommended by an acquaintance. He was prompt, his emails were easy to understand, always replied to our queries, kept our best interest in mind and was very thorough in his paper work. I would have have no hesitation in highly recommending him.

Both David Little and Charlie Davidson were extremely helpful, and responsive. Had an excellent experience dealing with them, in quite a complicated transaction. My thanks to them both.

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

This was my first experience with Bishop and Sewell. Solicitor Charlie Davidson has worked on my case this November. It was a great pleasure to work with him. Charlie is highly qualified specialist and is very attentive to his clients. I am very satisfied and would recommend him 100%.
