Charlie Davidson Saves the Day

5

SRA intervention of previous firm instructed and Land Registry raised requisition on registration documents submitted. Charlie was a tremendous help in sorting this out and getting my property registered after months of uncertainty when other law firm just sat on the matter. Fantastic lawyer and great to work with. A real star and credit to the legal profession.

Conveyancing

5

I engaged Charles Davidson at the beginning of October 2024 to handle the sale of a prime London apartment, contracts to be exchanged before the Budget on October 30. They were exchanged at 11.0 pm on October 29.
It was a considerable feat to achieve the transaction within three working weeks in spite of an unusual and complex sale structure and a number of unexpected issues raised by the buyer.
Charles responded quickly to suggestions, showed quick and incisive drafting, dealt pro-actively with the other side and was determined to complete the transaction within the deadline.

Excellent experience with Charlie @ Bishop & Sewell

5

Charlie took on conveyancing on my first property when my previous solicitors fell through and couldn't have done a better job. He was great at communicating with me keeping me in the loop at all times, which was not my experience with the previous firm. His rigorous explanation of the process when I transferred the deposit money stopped me from being scammed out of a significant amount of money when hackers posing as the estate agents accessed my emails and asked for additional funds to secure an exchange. He was a joy to work with, always good humoured and available to ask questions which as a first time buyer I found very reassuring. I couldn't recommend working with him more.

Huge thank you to Charlie who worked tirelessly on the sale of my property, which was not straightforward. He was always available to chat with, calm nerves or provide reassurance. His legal expertise is excellent. I would not hesitate to call upon him in the future.

I've just got the keys for my first home, Thanks for Charlie and Shivani that makes my life sooo much easier as I have no idea what shall I do as I'm very busy at work and no experience at all, but with their guidance step by step, I'm completing the deal in 1 and half month even its a summer holiday in the middle, but it's been done without any problem.
It has been a great experience working with Charlie, who is very experienced and has been very helpful throughout the way. Highly recommended for those who is still looking for solicitors!

Many thanks to Charlie Davidson for his professionalism in dealing with the sale of my property. I engaged Charlie following a personal recommendation from a property investor friend. Throughout a complicated conveyancing process, Charlie remained focussed on achieving a successful completion. He was creative and resourceful in finding solutions to some difficult legal points and worked with multiple parties to achieve the best possible outcome. I also found Charlie accessible and responsive during a period when he was extremely busy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Charlie and employing him myself again in the future.

I own an estate agency practice in the Midlands. I was full of trepidation instructing a solicitor practice I was not familiar with. We had 3 weeks to purchase this property and Charlie Davidson pulled it out of the bag. If you are looking for a totally independent review this is it - do yourself a favour if you are purchasing a property in London USE THIS COMPANY
