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!

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.

If you ever have the opportunity to employ the services of these guys then do so and count yourself lucky if you get Ilian Granville working your case.
No matter what the task and what ever concerns or questions I had Ilian took care of it. The level of service he and the company went to to ensure I was looked after was above and beyond!
The handled my case with professionalism and at no point did I lose faith in Ilian or his advice and his personal touch of never failing to answer the phone or respond to my emails gave me constant faith in his work.
I would have no concerns in recommending Ilian and Butters David Grey to anyone and would certainly if needed use them again.

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.

Collected on:
I had a deeply frustrating experience with a recent property purchase where the service charge was initially quoted at £900 per annum. I explicitly requested this amount be verified before moving forward. After six weeks of constant chasing on my part, it was finally confirmed that the correct service charge was actually £3000. This significant discrepancy, along with the associated maintenance costs, made the property unaffordable for us without a reduction.
Despite this error not being our fault, we had no choice but to pull out. BDG still charged us £300, in addition to the survey cost, and the delay has potentially jeopardized our mortgage. To make matters worse, they are still holding onto my £450 deposit. Throughout this process, the team was, at times, rude and abrupt, which was particularly disappointing given that we were the ones who had lost out. It's worth noting that they had already worked with all parties before, as another buyer had pulled out previously.
We were even willing to use BDG for a new purchase but, despite the circumstances, they still refused to reduce the charge. After speaking to the estate agent who referred them, it was suggested we look for another solicitor given the issues we faced.
Ultimately, we felt very let down by the service/ costs and would appreciate reconsideration of the fees we were charged and the return of our deposit to make the matter good.
