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!

TERRIBLE. Avoid this firm. Unhelpful and unresponsive staff who don't even follow their own formal complaints procedure, and when they do, only say what they need to to cover their backs if the SRA got involved. I was given a new solicitor and didn't even know their name for 2 and a half months, it wasn't until I mentioned pulling out of the sale that they got in touch. Weird! The negative reviews do not lie.

Appalling service!!
I’m writing this a few years after the traumatic experience.
Very distressing time, lack of communication
and empathy
Everything was eventually sorted, but not in the profesional way that I would have expected.
Wouldn’t use them ever again.

CUSTOMERS BEWARE
After I have use this company for many years and had fantastic service from Georgina Gibbon I will say that where it stops.
As Georgia suddenly had a disagreement and left the company one of my sales had gone to the grimsby office which I was very dubious of as poor service from there is an understatement.
Ben Barber (Partner) had recently acted for me in a litigation case for me to which because he was o leave Laura Nee (Partner) represented me in court and to say the judge was not happy was an understatement as he told her how badly she was prepared for the day and that she had not even read the file to which she then went on to blame Ben Barber to me say she had what she had.
I found her blame culture to be something I have heard in the school playground when nothing was her fault when Infact i have never been so poorly represented.
So as they have wrongly deducted money from funds of the sale of the land that has taken forever to complete then I have been left with no option than to take Ben Barber and BG Solicitors to court to recover my money.
So in a nut shell this is not a company I would recommend and I would advise you to read the bad reviews before your intrust your sale of a property and any foam of litigation with this company.

BG Solicitors is one of the oldest established practices in Grimsby, set up by the late Mr Tom Beetenson on 1st January 1944. He was joined in 1953 by Lawrence Gibbon and their initials still remain as the name of our firm. Since those early days, the Practice has grown steadily and is now one of the largest and most respected in the area. 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.
