Value for money

This firm - 97%

Catherine is very knowledgeable and gave me step by step instructions and advice throughout this process. Took much longer than expected due to Covid and had a positive outcome in the end. Highly recommended.

excellent, straightforward service

Everything was clearly communicated and dealt with immediately, providing a sense of reassurance that everything was being done with a high level of professionalism and efficiency.

I, like everyone else, was very keen to complete prior to the stamp duty change and from early on I was confident everything was being done to achieve this, despite I'm sure many clients all pressing for the same.

I would strongly recommend BDG and specifically Victoria and will certainly return should I need a conveyancing solicitor in future.

Review of BDGsolicitors and Catherine Taylor

After 20 years of procrastination and bad service by other solicitors dealing with my never ending divorce, Catherine got me out of a deep hole with her excellent advice and action. I am finally completely clear of all ties and I can highly recommend her.

Thank you for all your help :)

I've used BDG for a few years now and they have always been super helpful to me. I've had some complicated issues in the past and have always been explained to what is what in a professional yet friendly manner. Before approaching BDG I was not sure my issues could be resolved. however, Catherine and the team went above and beyond to help me and honestly everything turned out so much better than I could ever have hoped. Thank you so much :)

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.

Excellent care and professionalism.

Catherine helped me with an unfounded property dispute which was stressful. She brought clarity and empathy alongside top class legal advice to bring about a successful outcome.

Great Service

This review is for a different branch.

We have been using BDG and Ilian for a few years and the service offered has always been of the highest quality. We have used a number of legal firms in the past and the service from BDG has surpassed them all. Ilian is polite, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Ilian and the BDG team!

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.
