What clients say about Davisons Solicitors Limited

The firm appears to specialise in conveyancing, leasehold transactions, remortgages and probate/probate-related property sales, with some clients praising efficient case handling, prompt replies and strong chasing to complete difficult matters. Valued soft skills include professionalism, helpfulness, persistence and support for vulnerable relatives. However, several reviews describe poor communication, delayed responses, excessive staff turnover, lack of transparency, repeated AML checks, incorrect charges and administrative errors, including Land Registry issues and lengthy delays. Overall, service is seen as capable in complex property work, but inconsistent and at times frustrating.

Conveyancing.

From the beginning of my engagement with Davisons Law, the service provided has suffered from poor communication, unprofessionalism, lack of transparency, and severe administrative delays. What should have been a standard 12-to-16-week leasehold transaction has extended past a year. During this time, I have dealt with constant disruptions and an unacceptable standard of client care. 1. Excessive Staff Turnover and Unexplained Case Transfers. 2. Lack of Communication and Unfulfilled Promises. 3. Repeated and Overzealous AML Checks. 5 separate sets for one application. 4. Incorrect Charges and Unprofessional Conduct. 5. Lack of Transparency and Misconduct. A formal complaint has been lodged.

Housing & Property

Overall poor experience

Used Davisons Solicitors in 2022/23 as our conveyancer for our first property, in particular Witney Tully (now Rose I believe). Things were fine initially, we had our property offer accepted and instructed Davisons, but things fell through so we changed to a new property. As we were some way through the process, we had to pay again for searches etc, which was reasonable. We didn't have much communication with Witney, she seemed to hide behind her support staff and they seemed to do most of the work. It was difficult to get hold of anyone at short notice, they seem to be a big fan of letting the voicemail pick up messages and then calling back when convenient for them (which is contrary to their customer charter which states they will respond within 24 hours, sometimes it was multiple days before we were contacted back!) We eventually completed on our mortgage in February 2023, and as we were first time buyers and our purchase was reasonably complex, we asked a lot of questions regarding things going through properly, and we were told each time yes everything was fine. We came to remortgage in December 2024, and when the solicitor assigned to our remortgage tried to sort things with Land Registry, it turned out that there had been some issues with registering our property with Land Registry which Davisons had not told us about, but this had been ongoing for nearly 18 months and as a result the registration had not been completed yet, and we were unable to remortgage, which meant we had to pay extra on our mortgage while the issues were resolved. It took nearly 4 months for the ongoing problems to be resolved, as there had been quite a lot of changes in the interim and the property now had other problems which needed to be resolved, which should have been dealt with during the initial purchase. Davisons were adamant this was not their fault, we made a complaint to recover the additional costs and they offered us a measly compensation fee. We took this to the Legal Ombudsman, who agreed in our favour, and they had to cough up for their negligence. I would not recommend Witney at all to anyone, unless you enjoy not having any communication with your solicitor, not having the job done properly, and then having to fight tooth and nail to get a satisfactory resolution with the firm taking no responsibility for their failings!

Great service from Davisons Law Lichfield

We have just sold a property , using Davisons solicitors and have been very pleased with the experience. Sufyaan and Emily were extremely helpful and very prompt in replying to queries. The office was also great in dealing with my mother who needed help with paper copies of contacts etc

Davisons Leamington: Excellent Work!

To put it simply the team at Davisons Leamington are excellent, and are due very high praise. They worked tirelessly on my behalf with a difficult case, balancing a strong degree of professionalism with immense levels of care and consideration for their clients. Where other firms in the process dithered and delayed, Davisons found solutions, getting everything resolved efficiently and effectively. The commitment and combined efforts of Justine and her team meant that I was able to spend Christmas in my new home with my family, something that had seemed a very remote prospect prior to their involvement. It is also worth noting that I am neurodivergent, in the past I had occasionally struggled to understand legal jargon and specific detail when speaking with other firms, even after explaining my additional needs to them. This was never an issue with Davisons, everyone I spoke with provided clear updates and assurance throughout, whether face-to-face, in mails or on the phone, and all done with a warmth and a genuine care that I hadn't expected from a law firm. They really are that good. So, if I'm ever in need of any future help with matters of family law or conveyancing, my first call will be to Davisons Leamington office.
