David J Foster & Co (solicitors) Ltd

I would highly recommend this conveyancing solicitor to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and genuinely supportive legal team. From the very beginning of the process, I was extremely impressed with the level of service I received. Buying or selling a property can be a complicated and stressful experience, with a lot of paperwork, deadlines, and legal terminology to navigate, but the team made the whole process feel far more straightforward and manageable. Their communication was excellent throughout. I was kept informed at every important stage and never felt as though I was left wondering what was happening or what needed to be done next. Whenever I had a question, they were approachable, patient, and happy to explain things clearly. They made sure I understood the legal aspects of the transaction rather than simply sending documents over and expecting me to work everything out myself. I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail and proactive approach. They were thorough in reviewing the paperwork, identifying potential issues, and making sure that matters were dealt with promptly. When something needed clarification or action, they followed it up efficiently rather than allowing it to cause unnecessary delays. This gave me a great deal of confidence that my property transaction was being handled properly. What really stood out was how professional and organised they were while still providing a personal service. I never felt like just another case or reference number. They took the time to understand my circumstances and were genuinely committed to helping me achieve a successful completion. Their professionalism, knowledge, and experience were evident throughout the entire process. There were inevitably some stressful moments along the way, as there often are with property transactions, but having a solicitor who was responsive, reassuring, and on top of everything made a huge difference. I always felt that my interests were being looked after and that I had someone knowledgeable in my corner. The whole process was handled with a high level of care, efficiency, and professionalism, and I am extremely grateful for the support I received. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending their conveyancing services to friends, family, or anyone else who is looking for a solicitor they can trust.

I am extremely disappointed by my experience with Burtons Legal Group. I instructed the firm in connection with a Right to Buy property purchase and paid funds requested for file opening, AML/ID checks and searches. Throughout the matter I received engagement documentation, onboarding communications and ongoing correspondence relating to the transaction. However, when issues later arose, Burtons maintained that they were not instructed, that no solicitor-client relationship existed and that documentation had not been completed. These assertions appeared difficult to reconcile with the history of the matter and the communications that had previously taken place. What I found most frustrating was the apparent inconsistency in Burtons' position. At various stages I was informed that Burtons could not act because requirements had not been met, yet later communications indicated that forms could be reissued, identity checks completed and the matter progressed. This left me with very little confidence in the firm's handling of my case. I was also concerned by communications said to have been made to the local authority regarding Burtons' instruction status whilst the transaction remained ongoing. Given that this was a time-sensitive Right to Buy purchase, any confusion surrounding representation created significant concern and uncertainty. Repeated requests for clear explanations, file information and complaint-related information were not addressed in the way I expected. Ultimately, I lost confidence in the firm's ability to act in my best interests and felt I had no option but to seek alternative legal representation. The issue for me is not simply the refund of money. A refund does not address the time lost, the stress caused, the uncertainty created, or the potential impact on the transaction itself. On the basis of my experience, I cannot recommend this firm.

Thanks, again, to Jane and the team. Another first class conveyancing. Our go to, when we sell a property.

Tehreem Fatima worked very quickly to get our spouse visa approved with the pressures of a baby on the way (my wife applied from Mexico) I contacted DJF solicitors in late April and by early June the visa was accepted using the priority service DJF made sure everything was in good order and requested for instance I send 12 months not 6 months payslips and that all travel history was recorded in detail. Had I not used the solicitor it is likely we would have faced delays. Tehreem set us up wirh a video call and was professional and quick to reply which was of vital importance

I am writing to commend the absolutely flawless service we received from Jon Miles and Scott. Their exceptional skill and diligence were crucial in successfully navigating our application toward the given offer, which had been severely jeopardized by the incompetence of a former solicitor. Jon and Scott's efforts not only rectified the complex issues but earned them well-deserved praise from everyone involved in the buying of our new house and the entire chain. The universal consensus is that you are the best solicitors we have ever worked with, and I wholeheartedly agree with that assessment. Thank you, Jon Miles and Scott, and UKCL Legal, for your invaluable assistance. Sincerely, Franklin

I had an excellent experience via EricBowes&Co Solicitors. Specifically with Mr Gurbinder Gill the Solicitor who represented me in a Housing related matter. I was working to a very tight timeline and was concerned I would not meet the Court’s deadline. Mr Gill set to work immediately; once he had assessed my case. Mr Gill, ensured matters were expedited and filed the necessary legal documents before the deadline. After that it was smooth sailing; his knowledge and meticulous drafting of legal documents meant the Defendant eventually settled matters, without the need for me to attend Court. I was overjoyed!! Mr Gill was extremely professional, he kept me updated at every turn, communicated honestly and transparently. His wisdom and experience in Housing legislation is impressive. It is very difficult to find and obtain Solicitors with integrity. Finding Mr Gill was a blessing. I highly recommend Mr Gill, he is such a humble, honest and hardworking Individual ; who prioritises the best interests of his clients. Choose Mr Gurbinder Gill to be your Solicitor, he will take away your legal burdens; at the very least he will fight hard to help you obtain Justice and a positive outcome. Mr Gill your a class act. I appreciate all you did. You listened, empathised and set matters right.

I would highly recommend Mr Gurbinder Gill at Eric Bowes & Co. We presented him with a complex case in relation to housing. He was professional, knowledgeable and always kept us in the loop. His work resulted in a fantastic win (one that was looking pretty much impossible to begin with) and for that, my family and I will always be extremely grateful.

Excellent service from Elaine Townsend & the team, great communication, friendly and very efficient. I would definitely recommend this Company and will be using again when needed.

We used Eric Bowes & Co for a second time after such good service when buying our first house. With purchasing our second home we had some issues which caused us some stress but Elaine explained everything thoroughly and made sure we understood each step and were up to date with all information we needed. She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and we would definitely recommend Eric Bowes to anyone. Professional service and lovely staff Thank you

This solicitor acted for my ex-wife during our divorce. The letters I received were very aggressive which left me with a feeling of being bullied and forced to make decisions I was not happy with. Mistakes were made with basic information meaning the correction was a chargeable activity Instead of taking the divorce smoothly to a conclusion it added to the horrendous time taken
