Commercial conveyancing.

We have recently sold our workshop with Ilian Granville acting on the conveyancing. We have been extremely pleased with his work, especially as it was not a straight-forward sale.

Ilian Granville

I am not sure if anyone will believe this is an actual review but it is and its all true. Working with Ilian is just a pleasure, he is such a decent man, he is clear, precise, helpful,happy and so so helpful. As a general rule, most solicitors tend to be similar to most estate agents, no futher comment required, however Ilian never leaves you for days chasing, he is on the ball and always contactable. I use him for commercial leases, buying and selling property etc. He now works with other members of my family as well as friends, we all really love him and always smile when we discuss him, he is one of a kind.

Top-notch conveyancing from Hastings to Yorkshire!

Cracking service from Butters David Grey. Illian handled our conveyancing and was absolutely spot on. We’re up in Yorkshire, but it all went smoothly via email, phone and post — no faff, no drama. Ilian kept us in the loop every step of the way and made buying our first home feel a lot less daunting. Proper friendly, knows his stuff and made the whole thing feel easy. Would happily recommend him to anyone - Thank you!

Helpful, efficient, responsive, detailed and knowledgeable

I have worked with Victoria Parnell, a conveyancer at BDG, on several property transactions. Over my 30+ years of buying and selling property, I know how difficult it can be to find a reliable conveyancer - I’ve often had to check their work and point out issues myself, that's when I can get hold of them. When I came across Victoria a few years ago and saw the way she handled an apartment purchase for me, I knew I had found my conveyancer of choice, the title of my review summarises everything. Since then, I have continued to use her for all property transactions for both myself and my family, and will continue to do so. The firms she has worked for may not be the cheapest (nor the most expensive), but the hassle-free service, together with the reassurance that I can get hold of Victoria quickly when needed, is definitely worth it to me.

I have used Ilian Granville for various projects over the years, purchasing, selling, writing commercial leases etc. For me its all about if I feel I am getting a good service. Ilian always responds promptly, sometimes very late at night due to work load but always same day. I wish there were more solicitors like him, he is decent, fair, realiable and HUMAN. Thank you so much Ilian for another painless transaction from you side.

Ilian was a fantastic. He exchanged and completed on a house within 7 days, something every other solicitor had said would be impossible. He was exceedingly professional, courteous and responsive throughout. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. Everyone at Butters David Grey was a pleasure to deal with.

BDG has been my go-to conveyancing for a few years. They have always been super efficient. Had a small problem to iron out with my lease and Ilian Granville (owner) skillfully unpicked it like a pro. - in a matter of days!

Avoid - much better options around. Prior customer, live overseas. Had lined up BDG to do the legals on a property I was selling. Contacted them when I had a buyer, they did not respond to my email. Called them up (inconvenient given my timezone), the receptionist (who refused to provide her name for "security issues" - what???) acknowledged they had my email but it hadn't been dealt with ("they were busy"), promised a response within 24 hours. I emphasised I just need a response - could they act for me or not? Never heard anything from them again. So unprofessional. Approached another local firm (Funnell & Perring) and within 30 minutes had an emailed proposal to act - super efficient.
