AVOID at all costs

I contacted Cavendish for initial advice for a no win no fee discrimination case. Caroline initially seemed very disinterested in my case, not really answering questions and taking days to reply. They then said I would need to pay for a ridiculously expensive letter to be drafted before they'd take my case (circa £1,000) so I decided to work with another firm instead. I was then hounded for several months by Caroline and one of her colleagues instructing me I owed them the fee, even though I had not asked them to write the letter. I never saw a copy of this elusive letter she had supposedly written, but was still being pursued for almost £1,000, whilst heavily pregnant and going through a legal battle. Absolutely disgusting. I stopped replying to their emails, and eventually they stopped sending them, so they obviously didn't have a leg to stand on.

Superb service

Solicitor Robyn Morson completed a recent purchase for me through Cavendish.

She was very professional, knowledgeable, proactive, helpful, friendly, responsive and efficient.

I would not hesitate to use again in the future and will be recommending to friends.

Excellent service

I enlisted the services of Cavendish Legal Group to help with the purchase of a flat using the Help to Buy scheme. Lauren Cosgrove (solicitor) was very professional and handled all my questions very fast. The whole process was smooth.

I would highly recommend CLG and definitely very pleased with the top-notch service!

Very happy with service

I am a first time buyer and used Cavendish Legal Group to help with my purchase using the share to buy scheme. Karishma Patel (Partner) and Regina Ahmeti (Paralegal) helped me and were brilliant. They kept me up to speed on everything that was happening and were always available on the phone and by email if I had any questions. I had a few problems towards the end with completion due to some errors on the sellers side but Karishma stepped in and chased the solicitors on the other side bringing the whole thing to a speedy end. Very happy with the service. Highly recommend.

Great service

Larisa Gordan at CLG was highly recommended to me and did not disappoint. She was always ready to offer help on the smallest of issues and kept me updated frequently. The whole purchase process was completely smooth and stress-free as a result and I will also be recommending Larisa.

Dealing with their legacy 2 year slater

O'Neill Patient acted as my solicitor for a house purchase in 2021. Their performance at the time was very poor, but that is not the subject of this review.

I have now come to sell the property and have discovered that O'Neill Patient did not complete the purchase properly, and I have never actually owner a portion of land on the property, which has now caused a sale to fall through.

The requirement was made clear to O'Neill Patient as well as the fact that I would not complete unless it was resolved. The case manager assigned to me had very poor communication, but was made aware on multiple occasions of the issue. It has since come to light that I was mislead by my case officer in who the transfer agreement was being drawn up for (I had been told it was between the original seller and the neighbour), and that my name was against it, despite this never being communitcated to me. I was also then never sent the agreement to sign ahead of completion, but was told it was all sorted.

Upon coming to sell my house, I find that this was not done and as such my property is not worth what I paid for it. The actions of the case officer were appalling.

O'Neill Patient are attempting to rectify the issue now, but as mentioned above, sale of the property has fallen through because of it. They have insultingly offered after 8 weeks a full and final settlement of £250, and seem to be treating the matter as though it is a mild inconvenience...

Awful, underhanded and 0 customer service skills

Started off great, got introduced to an app which would hold all of our documentation which in theory sounded great. Initial sign up was seamless and we were really happy with the solicitors we had appointed. The problems began when my solicitor sent us chaser emails for documents that we needed to sign which “had been uploaded to the app” that were never there. We requested time and time again for documents to be emailed directly to us as there were obviously issues with the app. These requests were ignored over and over again. General communication was poor, I ended up doing half the work and research myself as we had something pop up about a coal mine on our survey.

Now well over a year we are still having issues with ONP as we are having some boundary issues with the neighbour so I purchased the title deeds to my property to find that they are still listed under the old owners names. I contacted ONP who assured me they had looked into it and there were large delays with land registry and that they have no control over how long land registry applications take - however I contacted land registry myself and was informed that ONP cancelled our land registry application in March 2023, so unsure why they deliberately misled me, have put in a formal complaint and will also be reporting to SRA/Legal Ombudsman

Hands down the worst solicitor I’ve ever used. They were recently involved in a house sale of mine. No contact, unreachable. When they contact you they ask questions that are irrelevant to the house sale. They may be slightly cheaper than others but they are not worth the saving. Pay a little extra and get someone competent. Romaan Aziz Was particularly awful and very slow.

Shocking Service, very poor communication, since being taken over this company is too large and not able to provide a smooth efficient service. Would not recommend.
