Excellent service

Where do i start with this firm. The service was 10/10! After being messed around by our previous solicitors 4 weeks into our applicaiton, DBF was able to quickly pick us up and continue our journey for our very first home! Me and my partner were new to buying a house and they deifntely helped us through the process and made each step clear. They answered every question i had, and were very quick with responses. We had been given a very tight deadline from the seller and dbf was able to complete this exactly on time. Special thanks to Emily and Craig who managed our case. :)

PROBATE AND CONVEYANCING

As I live in the Midlands, I had no prior knowledge of Davis Blank Furniss. I dealt with Joanne for Probate and Kirsty for Conveyancing. Their expertise, guidance and support was invaluable to me, at what was a personally sensitive time. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Davis Blank Furniss.

Probate

Joanne's guidance, help and expertise was very much appreciated, at such a difficult time, as I had never been through a Probate experience before. It was comforting to know that whenever I made contact, any issues would be dealt with sensatively and efficiently.
Joanne suggested her work colleague Kirsty to help with the Conveyancing side of matters and I was very happy and appreciative of all her help, guidance and expertise too. I would not hesitate in recommending Davis, Blank, Furniss.

Appalling service

This review is for a different branch.

This company “dealt”‘with the sale of our property on the 31st May 2022 and were appalling throughout. They have just contacted us 22/11 to ask us to address a problem caused by them and brought to their attention 6 months ago. Appalling service.

Fantastic firm

This review is for a different branch.

Would highly recommend this firm, from the very beginning they went all out on my mother's case for negligence. Even when it looked like we were getting nowhere Kate Oldfield persivered and carried on. In the end it all worked out and non of this would be possible without her. First class all the way.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

This review is for a different branch.

AVOID at all costs. Even after threatening to pull out of our house purchase/ putting a formal complaint in we got one decent reply and phone call back, telling us what we want to hear, now its gone back to the no replies or updates whatsoever which we have had on and off for the past 5 +1/2 months, we only ever find out information or updates from our estate agents. And still no sight of a contract or completion date. Looks like we'll be kissing goodbye to our house purchase at this rate as some of us dont have years to waste and nothing to possibly show at the end of it. We understand things can be delayed but Davis Blank furniss Solictiors and in particular Jennifer are absolutely shocking in even simply giving us updates. Their excuse to all this is they are "extremely busy", well dont take on so many cases then!! Will not be using again in the future, and looking at other reviews on here it seems its not even an isolated one off problem. Pathetic 👎?

Michael Ball is very responsive, efficient and organised. I’ve bought and sold a few properties and this was by far the best experience I’ve had with conveyancing solicitors. I would definitely recommend Michael to others.
