A Great Big Thank You...
As first time buyers we really didn't know what to expect and what to do most of the time. But Chris Howe and his team from Gepp Solicitors have been so brilliant in helping us aquire our very own first property. The process took a bit longer than what we expect, but this was due to the seller's Solicitors who weren't responding to the inquiries soon. Chris Howe and his team manage to walk us through the whole process explaining what we should & shouldn't do making this process so easy to go through.
Now we have moved into our new home & we are so happy.
A massive thank you to Chris Howe and his team from Gepp Solicitors.
A representative from Gepp Solicitors responded to this review on 25 April, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words, Christopher. We're thrilled to hear that Chris and the team at Gepp Solicitors were able to guide you through the process and help you secure your first home. Congratulations on your new property, and we wish you all the best in your new home!

Bakshi Danda - Excellent Service! Highly Recommend
We first used Bakshi Danda at Gepp Solicitors in 2019 for the conveyancing to purchase our home, it was a unique scenario that required the case to be completed very quickly, which it was in just under 4 weeks. Then when we agreed to sell the property in early 2025 we knew we wanted Bakshi and her team to handle the case and they have been brilliant. We have used a few other conveyancing solicitors over the years but Bakshi and her team are by far the most efficient and on the ball we have ever used. We could not recommend her highly enough!
A representative from Gepp Solicitors responded to this review on 15 April, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Nigel. We're delighted Bakshi and her team could support you again with the same efficiency and care. Your recommendation means a lot!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nadia, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service she provided. From the moment I reached out to her, she was incredibly polite, attentive, and professional. Nadia was always prompt in her responses and ensured that I fully understood every step of the process. She made me feel at ease and was genuinely helpful in addressing all of my concerns. Her dedication to delivering excellent service truly stood out.
I would highly recommend Nadia's services to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor. I will definitely be turning to her again if the need arises. Thank you, Nadia, for your outstanding support!

We recently completed on our first home buying with Gepp Solicitors, and they were excellent throughout the process.
There was a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process it was clear that we were being looked after, and Gepp's team were doing everything they could to protect us in all eventualities.
We were working with Bakshi Dhanda's team.
We highly recommend Gepp Solicitors.

I cannot praise Katie J and her team enough for their help with our sale and purchase. Our buyer's solicitors seemed slow and unaware of many things they needed to do, which made us so thankful that we had Katie on top of everything. Her reassurance and knowledge made a stressful process much smoother than expected. If you want to be the one in a chain with the best solicitors, Gepp is definitely the best call!

I cannot praise Bakshi’s team at Gepp enough. From the very start, they have been absolutely incredible—guiding us through every step, from the disappointment of our first house purchase falling through due to the vendor, to finally securing our dream home.
The team is always available when you call or email, and if they aren’t immediately reachable, they always get back to you the same day. Their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process so much smoother.
Honestly, I could go on, but if you’re looking for a solicitor, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gepp. They have been outstanding, and I’m so grateful for their support!

Great service! Just bought a house and was assigned Bakshi and her team, couldn't be more happier. Very proffesional, everything is done on time. Had to chase the other side solicitors all the time and they seemed so unprofessional. Bakshi and her team always stood their ground to get what's right for me. Great communication! Very very happy with them and will definetly use them again!
A representative from Gepp Solicitors responded to this review on 21 January, 2025:
Hi Zans. Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We’re so pleased to hear that Bakshi and her team provided you with such professional and timely service throughout your house purchase. We’re thrilled that their strong communication and dedication to your case made a positive difference, especially in comparison to the other side. Your satisfaction means the world to us, and we look forward to assisting you again in the future!
