Cavendish Legal Group Limited

We were really impressed by Shirley Martin and the team at cavendish. Great service throughout and very quick to reply to any questions. Very knowledgeable and we felt we were in safe hands throughout. Thanks guys!

Highly recommend Cavendish Legal Group for property transactions as they have assisted me in the purchase of a parking space and have shown great diligence, responsiveness and defense of my interests. Very smooth process and solicitors always available for any questions and queries.

I used Cavendish Legal Group for my sale and can highly recommmend Mark Westwood for what turned out to be a very long and grueling sale. In particular he was very personal, professional and always kept me informed and made consistent efforts in pushing the sale along. His experience certainly counted as well, for example when dealing with difficult situations throughout and the explaining options and legal jargon. The sale was achieved in no small part due to Mark's thoroughness. I thank him very much again.

Solicitor Tuba Erpolat has been of great help. Professional, efficient and excellent communication. Every question has been answered in detail, the cost was reasonable, friendly and patient every moment on the way. I cannot praise her enough. Cavendish Legal Group is reliable, competent. I will use them again if I need to and I will recommend them with all my heart. Thank you very much.

I would never recommended this firm of solicitors.
I asked them to investigate a Will, gave them their money on account NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN APART FROM ME SENDING THEM E-MAILS WONDERING WHY NOT! THEIR REPLY WAS ALWAYS THE SAME."WE WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU SHORTLY....BUT THEY NEVER DID.
THEN AFTER 9 MONTHS THEY HAD THE CHEEK TO TELL ME THEY HAD'NT PROCEEDED WITH MY CASE BECAUSE ....
THEY NEVER RECEIVED MY PAYMENT ON ACCOUNT!!!!!!

Where do I start?

I was purchasing a property through Cavendish Legal end of last year and to begin with it started well. However, not long after problems started.
There was a distinct lack of communication and understanding of time frames from Cavendish around when I had to move in by, the seller was going abroad and we were due to exchange and complete on the same day. This did not happen leaving me without somewhere to live.

A locum solicitor was managing my case whilst the main solicitor was away and was useless, told me he didn't know what was going on and I would have to wait. There was a distinct lack of care from most people I spoke to about my circumstance.

I started the purchasing process originally with a different property and was due a refund, which after multiple emails, no one has responded to.

Multiple times I was told we were to at least exchange and it was realised they had missed something.

The whole process became even more stressful than a move already is and no one appeared to be helping the situation.

Truly disappointing and would definitely not recommend.

I contacted Cavendish for initial advice for a no win no fee discrimination case. Caroline initially seemed very disinterested in my case, not really answering questions and taking days to reply. They then said I would need to pay for a ridiculously expensive letter to be drafted before they'd take my case (circa £1,000) so I decided to work with another firm instead. I was then hounded for several months by Caroline and one of her colleagues instructing me I owed them the fee, even though I had not asked them to write the letter. I never saw a copy of this elusive letter she had supposedly written, but was still being pursued for almost £1,000, whilst heavily pregnant and going through a legal battle. Absolutely disgusting. I stopped replying to their emails, and eventually they stopped sending them, so they obviously didn't have a leg to stand on.
