Nearly 3 months and my purchase didn't exchange. No chain and no mortgage I lost motivation after chasing and chasing and dropped out. I bought something else and it completed in 4 weeks. I'm still expected to pay for the work done though of course

I was advised by a friend to use BG as he's a property developer and has used their business for many years. From my initial telephone call right through to the completion of my sale and purchase Helen Kent and her team have been nothing short of exceptional. The entire process was swift and the whole team are knowledgeable and helpful. No question or query is ever too difficult to get answered and response is quick and easy to understand. We've been in our new house for a little under a month, but should the situation arise again, when we require a conveyancing expert, we will definitely be contacting BG and Helen Kent. Thank you all so much for all your support and expertise throughout the entire process.
A representative from Bg Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 19 November, 2024:
Thank you for your fantastic review Johanna! We are delighted to hear that Helen and the team provided you with exceptional service throughout your sale and purchase. Your trust and recommendation mean a lot to us, and we look forward to assisting you again in the future!

Helen was recommended to us by a family friend so we made contact regarding an house purchase in SE London that we wanted to complete quickly.
Helen and her team were quick, diligent and accomplished everything we needed to get done, and on time. We could not be more happy with Helen’s first rate service.

I recently had the fortune of being represented by Ben Barber and Leah Heckles, who not only won my case but also did so with a level of professionalism and commitment that was truly remarkable. Their strategic approach and meticulous attention to detail set them apart from the outset. They demonstrated unwavering support throughout this challenging time, providing legal expertise and a much-needed sense of relief.
Ben's readiness to answer any questions and his genuine kindness helped alleviate much of the stress associated with my case. He was clearly not just working on a case but was dedicated to supporting me through an extremely difficult period, for which I am deeply grateful.
Ben's hard work, patience, and unwavering dedication were instrumental in achieving a favourable outcome. His ability to negotiate a settlement efficiently was invaluable, and he achieved double the original settlement offer made to me. It's rare to find someone who not only excels professionally but also provides a level of personal support and kindness that truly makes a difference.
I am immensely thankful for everything Ben, Leah, and the staff at BG Solicitors have done. I recommend Ben and Leah to anyone who needs a friendly, approachable, and diligent solicitor.
A representative from Bg Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 22 October, 2024:
Thank you for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that Benjamin and Leah provided such outstanding support and expertise during your case. It’s wonderful to know their dedication and professionalism made a difference, and we are thrilled with the positive outcome. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Dealt with Jarred Fox when purchasing my first house at the beginning of the year. Extremely professional and always responded to any queries I had very quickly (I didn’t have many as he did a fantastic job of going through the procedures with us). Eased my mind and made the whole process run smoothly. Will 100% use again and would recommend anyone else to.

Our clients, both private and commercial, demand a first-class legal service, and through our commitment to quality standards throughout all areas of the practice, we ensure that’s exactly what they receive. The original BG base in Grimsby remains our largest office space, occupying a convenient central location with excellent access to public transport as well as nearby parking. In 2007 we incorporated the business and staff of Louth based Scammell & Braithwaite into BG Solicitors LLP and acquired our first satellite office. The merging of this well-respected firm into our own means that we now have a central Louth office, serving the needs of not only the local Louth clients but also those from the many surrounding villages.
