Both Katie and Amy were responsive with my questions however Amy exceeded expectations with response time, very clear instructions and detailed correspondence. She listened to my request to expedite the paperwork where possible to avoid additional costs and finalised the work in very short order. Greatly appreciated!

I found working with Amanda great from the get go. She was realistic about timings, able to assist to help meet my goals, with guidance which meant things were done right to protect me longterm as well as within the immediate situation with clear communication throughout. I felt that I could trust her judgement and that she listened well to my needs explaining the details to ensure I understood. The meetings we had were professional yet friendly and offices well presented in a lovely location. Quote was slightly higher than other local firms, but for the service delivered worth it & would certainly use them again (Amanda in particular).

It was a tricky one, a cannabis condoning tenant with unauthorised unpleasant boyfriend, looming RRA and a neighbouring tenant with child stuck in the middle of a toxic situation! I wanted to run a s21 (never used one before in thirty years) alongside a surrender deal in a 'get money/don't get money' arrangement. Charley was brilliant, calm, concise and clear on the nuances of the s21 rules. Steadily, patiently, he worked our way through the labyrinthine legislation to get to the solution. He prepared the Deed of Surrender and the s21 notice, and two months later, she was gone. The s21 didn't have to be used in court, and thanks to Charley, I was able to sell the property and retire. Thank you again Charley :)

Where to begin? I think disastrous and expensive would be a good start, quickly followed by one of the worst legal experiences to date. Got "allocated" this outfit some time ago as the litigator for a lease extension. Began reasonably well in the hands of a Dispute Resolution Executive who subsequently disappeared into the vapour on maternity leave but without the courtesy of telling me. Impending absence only discovered from tiny type in the email signature strip. How very professional. To be replaced by a full-blown Senior Associate Solicitor at a much, much higher hourly rate. Her profile described her as a "Property Specialist" but clearly not specialist enough to be able to explain anything coherently, not to change her mind at the 11th hour and not to have any idea of where things were at any given time. From my particular experience I'd say her "specialities" were more an inability to communicate clearly and concisely - including that old chestnut answering a direct question - long, rambling contradictory emails with just a dash of inaccurate cut and paste thrown in to spice things up, racking up her very substantial fees with her indecision and stretching the matter out interminably due to an overarching terror of "the litigation risk". Discussion at later date with a different legal firm told me that whereas a litigation risk does exist in every case, all the adjournments were unnecessary in such a simple matter and, very unsurprisingly, even the Courts got sick of it all and threatened to dismiss. A request to speak to someone who could explain better was met with a wall of silence and repeated requests to keep costs down by handing the matter to another Legal Executive or junior got the same shocking inaction. The little in her favour was that - after a number of challenges - she made a few meagre attempts to reduce costs and shaved a bit off her bills. Her final shining triumph was, however, to tell me I must pay the other side's costs when she had negotiated to the contrary. So, definitely no recommendation for this lot, and especially not her. Just another long, rotten and ridiculously expensive drag. And before this firm rushes to tell me that it was all the fault of the non-cooperative Freeholder, it's true that he dragged his heels but that does not in anyway impact my view of the poor service dispensed by the so-called "specialist".

I used Dutton Gregory to assist in my first property purchase and would not recommend them. As a first time buyer, I expected more support and communication from them.

I cannot recommend Amy at Dutton Gregory Solicitors highly enough. Throughout the entire process, she has been a great pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, Amy demonstrated exceptional professionalism. She is incredibly hardworking and efficient, often moving things forward much faster than I expected. What truly set her apart, however, was her communication; she was always quick to respond. Even when I offered to send a small gift as a token of my appreciation for her outstanding work, she kindly said it was not necessary, showing her true professional integrity. It is rare to find someone who combines such high-level expertise with a genuinely kind and approachable manner. Amy is proactive, communicative, and truly cares about her clients. I am very grateful for all her hard work and support. Thank you very much!
