It has been a near-perfect experience dealing with Victoria at BDG, rarely have I been so pleased with a professional service; I have bought a sold a few houses and this has been by far the easiest, despite challenging time demands and in depth enquiries. Victoria and reception were easy to contact, well informed and went the extra mile for a timely completion.

This review is for a different branch.

Mr. Granville arranged the extension of the lease for this property , of which I own the freehold. He achieved a good price for me from the leaseholder, enabling her to sell the property. He also managed to achieve from the leaseholder a debt she was unable to deal with until the property sale was completed. Obviously all of this was extremely helpful to me.

Spoke with Catherine for divorce advice…she was extremely helpful and I would thoroughly recommend BDG. I also used them to buy my flat a few years ago and I found them to be very professional and helpful…it was my first time buying and it felt easy and stress free!

Divorce settlement

This review is for a different branch.

Butters David Gray supported me through my divorce settlement and house sale. They were professional and helpful throughout. Answered all of my questions, making me feel comfortable and well advised. Dealt very well with difficult emails on my behalf. Also guided me through court proceedings. Eventually helped an out of court settlement which was very useful. A special mention to Catherine Taylor, she is an absolute legend. Thank you!

Highly recommended!

This review is for a different branch.

What a wonderful experience dealing with Ilian Granville. Patient, thorough and a credit to his firm and profession. Being non resident buyers we were extremely nervous going into our property purchase. All fears were allayed when we started working with Ilian - put our minds completely at ease - was transparent in his approach and got the job done under extremely tight timelines!

Davina and her team handled our purchase of a property and the service was excellent.
Davina never failed to answer calls and Emails, personally, and acted on our requests with understanding to bring the transaction to a successful conclusion. Davina and her team were always courteous and helpful throughout the whole process.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Davina.
Thank you for a great service.

BDG has been my go-to conveyancing for a few years. They have always been super efficient. Had a small problem to iron out with my lease and Ilian Granville (owner) skillfully unpicked it like a pro. - in a matter of days!

Avoid - much better options around. Prior customer, live overseas. Had lined up BDG to do the legals on a property I was selling. Contacted them when I had a buyer, they did not respond to my email. Called them up (inconvenient given my timezone), the receptionist (who refused to provide her name for "security issues" - what???) acknowledged they had my email but it hadn't been dealt with ("they were busy"), promised a response within 24 hours. I emphasised I just need a response - could they act for me or not? Never heard anything from them again. So unprofessional. Approached another local firm (Funnell & Perring) and within 30 minutes had an emailed proposal to act - super efficient.
