Outstanding service!

Throughout the sale of our property, Jayden was our primary point of contact. He consistently responded to our questions promptly and never hesitated to call us directly whenever clarification was needed, ensuring we always had clear and timely information. He delivered a high standard of service from start to finish, even when certain steps were delayed due to the buyer’s solicitor needing to provide updates before matters could move forward. We truly appreciate the support provided by Jayden and Bishopsgate Law. Their professionalism and assistance made the process far smoother, and we are very grateful for everything they did for us.

from Bishopsgate Law Ltd

Thank you for the lovely feedback! We are so pleased Jayden could provide such a high standard of service and keep you well-informed throughout the process. Congratulations on your property sale!

Very efficent and helpful - great communication

I had the pleasure of dealing with Bishopsgate Law for the sale of my current property, and the purchase of a new one. Despite the many challenges experienced along the way with chains falling through a few times (through no fault of mine or Bishopsgate Law) the team looking after me (Yana Cox and Claire Ryles) took it all in their stride and remained patient, friendly, and helpful throughout. The sheer speed I received each reply to any questions massively impressed me throughout also. I was consistently made to feel like their most valued client, which really helped to take the stress out of the whole legal process. I was also impressed by the fact that even if Yana or Claire were out of the office, those standing in for them, and assisting them (Pak-ka Yeung, Jo Babland, and Janine Prescott) were just as quick at responding and providing helpful assistance. I would not hesitate in recommending Bishopgate Law’s services to anyone, and would certainly use them again in the future!

Bishopsgate Law Ltd

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation, Richard. We're so pleased Yana, Claire, and the team made the process smoother for you, especially during the challenges along the way. It’s great to hear our communication and support stood out — we’ll be sure to pass on your feedback. We’d be glad to assist you again in the future!

Marianna Fratello ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In April this year we sold our house in London. Marianna Fratello from the Hertfordshire office was absolutely fabulous, easy to work with and very efficient from start to finish. The fees were transparent and any issues to do with the property was baught to my attention immediately and dealt with promptly. I would highly recommend Bishopsgate Law and would be using again in the very near future. Ps: Thanks to all the team who answered any queries when Marianna was on annual leave!

Bishopsgate Law Ltd

Thank you for sharing your experience, Alison. We’re delighted to hear that Marianna and the team provided efficient, transparent, and attentive support throughout the sale of your property. It’s wonderful to know you felt well looked after even during her annual leave, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.

Absolute nightmare avoid

We had a deeply disappointing experience with this firm. Throughout the process they were unresponsive to emails, often taking multiple days to reply and leaving us constantly chasing for updates. Communication was poor, and the entire process felt unnecessarily obscure and confusing. Despite earlier escalation of our concerns, nothing changed in how they handled our case. In the end, they failed to complete the work properly — registering the property in the Land Registry but not completing the transfer of the share of the freehold. Since then, they have completely ignored our attempts to contact them. I would strongly advise avoiding this firm to save yourself time, stress, and frustration. I am not sure how can they have so many positive reviews

5* isn’t enough!

Selling our flat in London was always going to be a paperwork nightmare, shared ownership selling for 100%, previous cladding issues, frequent changing of building management companies, I could go on. But Laura and her team efficiently and competently got us over the line. They were fantastic with communication, even when things out of their control were dragging, so we never felt in the dark and would always pick up the phone when we called. We are now in our beautiful family home and could not thank them enough. 5*’s isn’t enough!

Bishopsgate Law Ltd

Thank you so much, Lindsey – what a lovely review! We know how tricky shared ownership and cladding issues can be, so it means a lot to hear that Laura and the team helped make it all feel manageable. We're so pleased you felt supported and well-informed throughout, and even happier to know you’re now settled in your beautiful family home. Wishing you all the best!

We used Bishopsgate Law in Potters Bar for our property purchase. Really impressed with our solicitor and conveyancer team - Gabby and Rifa. The price we paid following completion was exactly as initially quoted. Communication was brilliant and searches etc were all very timely. No question was a silly one. It is clear that they work very hard. Thank you both so much!

I used Bishopsgate for a Transfer of Equity for a property. I was very happy with the service provided by James Johnston as well as Joel Abraham. In fact, it was excellent. Both were extremely active and responsive to all my requests and provided clear instructions or expectations of what was required for me to do, as well as appropriate legal advice for the concerning matters. I would definitely try and use them and Bishopsgate Law again, in any future similar legal /property transactions.

Hi there Jawaad, Thanks ever so much for this brilliant review about Bishopsgate Law and for specifically commenting on the efforts of James, this is truly appreciated. We look forward to no doubt assisting you again in the future. Kind regards, The Bishopsgate Law team

Horrendous law firm. We finally completed on the sale of our buy-to-let property yesterday after months of unnecessary delays caused by the buyer’s solicitor, Bishopsgate Law. This was a vacant property sold to a first-time buyer, so entirely chain-free and straightforward. After months of back and forth, we were due to exchange and complete before Christmas when Bishopsgate Law suddenly raised an issue regarding a supposed “rental charge” linked to the estate service charge. This concern was entirely inaccurate and clearly contradicted by both the property covenants and the title deeds. Despite this, they persisted in disputing the matter with our solicitors, much to the frustration of their own client, who was desperate to move in before Christmas—not at the end of January. What makes this worse is that this issue should have been raised at the outset, or at least weeks earlier. Instead, it was introduced at the eleventh hour, costing us thousands of pounds in additional mortgage payments, council tax and fuel costs. Even after this was resolved, we were repeatedly told they were ready to exchange, only to later discover that the buyer’s funds had not even been drawn down—yet another basic task that could and should have been handled in good time. We were given repeated false assurances that completion was imminent when it clearly was not. I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this firm at all costs.

Flat sale and house purchase

I recently completed a sale with Bishopsgate Law and worked with Jodie, Sofina and Pak-ka. They handled a difficult set of buyers solicitors with real composure. They stayed proactive at every step, kept me updated, and made the whole process feel manageable. They were engaged, quick to respond, and genuinely easy to work with. I felt in safe hands throughout. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a team who actually gets things done.

Best Solicitors by a mile

We recently completed our property purchase with Bishopsgate Law, and as first-time buyers we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were fortunate to be assigned Ruby and Donna, who were absolutely outstanding throughout the whole process. From the very beginning, they made what could have been a daunting journey so much easier by putting our minds at ease and giving us clear, honest, and practical advice. They went above and beyond to identify any potential issues early on and ensured these were challenged and resolved quickly. One thing that really stood out for us was the communication. When researching solicitors, we noticed many reviews of other firms mentioned poor communication—but with Ruby and Donna this couldn’t have been further from the truth. Every email was responded to the same day, and any scheduled calls were always prompt and professional. That level of attentiveness gave us so much confidence and peace of mind. After months of working together, we can honestly say that without their dedication, patience, and expertise, we wouldn’t have been able to get over the line and secure our dream home. We are truly grateful to Bishopsgate Law, and especially to Ruby and Donna, for making this possible. We really cannot thank you both enough. We would highly recommend Bishopsgate Law, and particularly Ruby and Donna, to anyone looking for solicitors who genuinely care about their clients and deliver an exceptional service.

Bishopsgate Law Ltd

Thank you so much, Dexter! We’re thrilled Ruby and Donna could make your first property purchase such a positive experience. Your kind words mean a lot, and we’re so glad we could help you secure your dream home!

Awful experience, not sure where they got good reviews from! - Any communication was instigated by us or the sellers estate agent (who they were rude to). - When I didn’t understand the money side of things the email I kept getting was “read this”, no matter how many times I said this didn’t make sense to me it wasn’t explained. - 3 times my partners name was incorrect, due to it being uncommon to have 2 first names we made this extremely clear in the beginning. - Another time the house price was incorrect on paperwork. - We were sent the sellers death certificate, which I think is completely inappropriate for a stranger to know his cause of death. - Stamp duty was paid 1.5months after the move in date. This was only paid as HMRC had sent me a letter stating a fine had been occurred for not paying it. I was also not told that this had finally been paid, I had to chase it. Awful experience, will never use them again

Hi there Olivia, Thank you for your review, although we are of course extremely sorry to hear of the experience you have had at Bishopsgate Law. This is not the service we want to provide to our clients and it is certainly at odds with how we do things here. Please kindly note that our Management Team is investigating this urgently and will be reaching out to you to discuss the same, if you would be open to doing so. Kind regards, The Bishopsgate Law team

I had a great experience working with Amanda and Zain during my property sale. They were both professional, efficient, and extremely helpful from start to finish. They kept me updated throughout the entire process and were always quick to respond to any questions I had, which made everything feel much less stressful. Their communication was clear and consistent, and I always felt confident that everything was being handled properly. Amanda and Zain made what can often be a complicated process feel smooth and straightforward. I really appreciated their attention to detail and dedication to getting everything completed on time. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and supportive conveyancers. Thank you both for all your hard work!

Hi there Simon, Thank you so much for this fantastic review, it is truly wonderful to read and very much appreciated by everyone here at Bishopsgate Law! We are so pleased to hear that Amanda and Zain were able to make the sale of your property such a smooth, stress-free and well-managed experience. Keeping clients consistently updated, responding promptly and maintaining clear communication throughout are all things we strive to deliver, and it is brilliant to know that all of this came through so strongly for you from start to finish. It is also really lovely to hear that their attention to detail and dedication to completing everything on time gave you the confidence that your sale was always in safe hands — that peace of mind is so important during what can otherwise be a very pressured process. We will make sure to pass on your wonderful words to Amanda and Zain as we know they will be absolutely thrilled to receive such detailed and heartfelt feedback. Thank you again for your generous recommendation, and we wish you all the very best going forward! Kind regards, The Bishopsgate Law team

We strongly urge people to AVOID this company. Our buyer used Bishopsgate and had Carly Robinson working on a house purchase. Carly slowed the entire chain down, costing lots of people thousands of pounds. Everyone else's solicitors in the chain had finished their checks etc within around three months. Bishopsgate appear to have barely started their checks in that time and took almost four months longer. Bishopsgate would only respond to our solicitor's queries around once a week. Carly would send one enquiry / request, our solicitor would respond swiftly with what they requested, often the same day, and then we'd have to wait a whole week for them to even look at it. Routinely she would say she was going to sort something 'shortly' or 'that afternoon' and it would be days longer - even on simple things. When our solicitor or estate agent tried to make polite enquiries on how many more checks were needed or on a rough timeframe, they would get a snotty email back explaining how it is a complicated process that cannot be rushed. For some unknown reason, Carly seemed to take pleasure in everyone else's frustration and delight in refusing to do anything in an appropriate timeframe. In the end, the delay cost us thousands of pounds as we ended up on a tracker mortgage for months, while others in the chain lost out on children's places at schools in the area they were hoping to move to. Bishopsgate showed no care about this at all and carried on with their 'one email a week' policy. It was such a shame as everyone else in the chain (the other solicitors, estate agents and mortgage advisors) were all so helpful and worked so hard for everyone. Appalling company - and Carly Robinson should be ashamed of herself and her negative impact on multiple people's lives.

David, We note that you are not a client of this firm and therefore cannot speak with you directly regarding your experience. We would request that you speak with your Solicitor about your matter should you have any specific concerns relating to the same. Kind regards, The Bishopsgate Law team
