Will and Trust review

Danny Carter and Finn Thomas were exemplary in their undertaking of our matters which needed some correction following dealings with another company which did not show the same level of integrity as always experienced with Danny and Gepp and Sons.

Fantastic to work with

This is the 3rd time ive now used Gepp and I’ve been impressed every time. I most recently sold and bought separately and despite some challenging situations, George Menon in particular was fantastic in managing this on our behalf.

Sale and Purchase

Chris and his team were superb ! It was a lengthy more complex sale which could’ve been a lot more stressful but fortunately Chris our conveyancer was always calm and collective which helped us enormously. He had a lot of work dealing with our file but he took everything in his stride and finally helped us reach our completion. We honesty cannot thank you enough for your expertise, experience and great service throughout! I recommend Chris Howe to anyone. 👌

Chris’ team, and especially George, were a great help throughout the not-so- straightforward process of our move. George was always willing to listen carefully to any concerns or questions we had and help us work through them with confidence.

Consumer Rights Dispute

I contacted Natasha after a well known brand ignored my rights under the Consumer Rights Act.
Natasha quickly grasped the key points, the law specifically around the dispute and approached the well known brand with the claim in a very timely fashion.
The well known brand immediately responded and we obtained a full refund of not only the cost of the appliance, but legal fees and out of pocket expenses. I would recommend Natasha to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation.

We recently completed on our first home buying with Gepp Solicitors, and they were excellent throughout the process.
There was a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process it was clear that we were being looked after, and Gepp's team were doing everything they could to protect us in all eventualities.
We were working with Bakshi Dhanda's team.
We highly recommend Gepp Solicitors.

I cannot praise Katie J and her team enough for their help with our sale and purchase. Our buyer's solicitors seemed slow and unaware of many things they needed to do, which made us so thankful that we had Katie on top of everything. Her reassurance and knowledge made a stressful process much smoother than expected. If you want to be the one in a chain with the best solicitors, Gepp is definitely the best call!

I cannot praise Bakshi’s team at Gepp enough. From the very start, they have been absolutely incredible—guiding us through every step, from the disappointment of our first house purchase falling through due to the vendor, to finally securing our dream home.

The team is always available when you call or email, and if they aren’t immediately reachable, they always get back to you the same day. Their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process so much smoother.

Honestly, I could go on, but if you’re looking for a solicitor, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gepp. They have been outstanding, and I’m so grateful for their support!
