Sale of multi-generational victorian property

My family has used BG for 3 generations. After some changes in solicitor (some unavoidable) Michaela steadied the ship with the help of Charlotte and later Wendy. I live overseas and the single most important thing to me was good communication and Wendy didn't miss a single email keeping me updated. Very happy with team Michaela and Wendy. So thankful this sale is now behind me. They were a calming unfluence during a very stressful time.

Accelerated Possession Proceedings

Unfortunately, I had to pursue the above matter via the legal path and approached BG Solicitors LLP. Once assigned to the case, Denise Bell was excellent. Her actions were prompt, clear and helpful. It was also possible to speak to her directly when needed, and I found her to be very approachable. So, for matters of this nature, I have no hesitation of recommending Denise or BG Solicitors.

Great service again by Helen and Julie!

We’ll continue to use and will always recommend Helen if you need conveyancing work. She’s incredibly helpful and makes everything seem simple, despite complicated legal processes. She’s also very fast and kept everything moving at pace. Thanks again to Helen and Julie!

Having never been in this situation before I found myself needing legal advice to ensure what I have been doing was correct and to obtain knowledge of how things would progress.
Leah from BG Solicitors LLP gave me just the advice and reassurance I needed. She was clear and precise with what to expect and gave valuable knowledge on the court proceedings that would take place. Thank you Leah, you certainly stopped my sleepless nights.

I would like to express our sincere thanks to Emma Hudson and Brad Whiteley at BG Solicitors in Grimsby. It was always going to be a fraught transaction due to the timescale that we had to work to. In addition to this, the onerous requirements of other parties. However Emma was calm and persevered to enable a successful completion on the deadline. Thankyou so much.

A house move is potentially the most stressful time of our lives. Trying to beat the labour deadline for an increase in stamp duty just triples that. But Helen Kent and her team, phenomenal. I had a hiccup at the start where I missed some paperwork requests, but that was no problem at all. You chased me, and everyone involved and ensured we were in time for the deadline, and kept me in the loop right up until I had the keys in my hand. Thanks so much!

What an unprofessional mess, very rude staff, and are not at all polite to clients or people they deal with, a shame but embarrassing for them that’s for sure, learn how to talk to people.

TERRIBLE. Avoid this firm. Unhelpful and unresponsive staff who don't even follow their own formal complaints procedure, and when they do, only say what they need to to cover their backs if the SRA got involved. I was given a new solicitor and didn't even know their name for 2 and a half months, it wasn't until I mentioned pulling out of the sale that they got in touch. Weird! The negative reviews do not lie.

About this branch

Description

BG Solicitors is one of the oldest established practices in Grimsby, set up by the late Mr Tom Beetenson on 1st January 1944. He was joined in 1953 by Lawrence Gibbon and their initials still remain as the name of our firm. Since those early days, the Practice has grown steadily and is now one of the largest and most respected in the area. Our clients, both private and commercial, demand a first-class legal service, and through our commitment to quality standards throughout all areas of the practice, we ensure that’s exactly what they receive. The original BG base in Grimsby remains our largest office space, occupying a convenient central location with excellent access to public transport as well as nearby parking. In 2007 we incorporated the business and staff of Louth based Scammell & Braithwaite into BG Solicitors LLP and acquired our first satellite office. The merging of this well-respected firm into our own means that we now have a central Louth office, serving the needs of not only the local Louth clients but also those from the many surrounding villages.
