Sylvia and Runa took care of the sale of my flat and I was very impressed with their work. The sale went through quickly and seamlessly and I would have no reservations in recommending them. In fact, I’ll be using them again on my next sale.

We recently bought a property whilst also selling one and had a pleasure of being looked after by Kaya and Sam. We managed to complete in 3 months without any major difficulties. They were very good at communicating and responsive to e-mails. I would highly recommend Bishopsgate Law.

I'm giving one star only because I assume they will eventually complete the legal work, though even this is uncertain given my experience.
Initially attracted by their competitive pricing, this proved incorrect when they charged an additional £650 for a lease review - work that other conveyancers typically include in their standard fee. This actually makes them more expensive than many competitors.
The communication has been abysmal. Every single issue requires multiple chase emails, and phone calls are essentially impossible - they're never available and despite repeated promises of callbacks, these never materialise, even for urgent matters. When they do respond, it's often inadequate or raises more questions than it answers.
Their handling of timelines and deadlines has been particularly poor. They sat on urgent work for months, only to suddenly inform me it would take several weeks to complete. They have repeatedly put my entire purchase at risk through their delays and lack of action, and seem to have no real interest in ensuring a successful transaction. I've had to constantly chase them just to avoid my mortgage offer expiring.
I would strongly advise looking elsewhere for conveyancing services unless you enjoy chasing solicitors and having your emails ignored

The absolute worst law firm. They've been dragging their feet for over a year for a simple leasehold extension and are unable to properly communicate with the counterparty's solicitors to get this sorted. They keep asking for more money and pretend that this is an issue that the other party needs to solve. Avoid for your own sanity.

Eleanora and Anup did an amazing job with our recent house purchase. They gave clear, professional advice and were fast and responsive when the chain finally neared exchange and completion. After weeks of little communication further up the chain, the last week was frantic and they handled it brilliantly. Many thanks, both!
A representative from Bishopsgate Law Ltd responded to this review on 28 October, 2024:
Thank you for your fantastic review Hannah! We’re thrilled to hear that Eleanora and Anup provided you with such excellent support during your conveyancing matter. It’s great to know their clear advice and quick responses made a difference, especially during the hectic final week. We truly appreciate your kind words and will make sure to pass on your thanks to them. Wishing you all the best in your new home!

We had a great experience with Bishopsgate Law solicitors. Our case got assigned to Kumari and Yesim.
They were prompt in responding to all our messages and queries, which made the process smoother. What stood out the most was their commitment to keeping us informed and ensuring our interests were prioritized. They diligently followed up with the seller and us to ensure all transactions were completed on time. They supported us throughout the entire process of buying the house, making us feel well-guided and confident.
Highly recommend!
Thank you Kumari and Yesim.

She is simply amazing and i do recomend her.

Title: Slow Communication Marred Otherwise Competent Service
Rating: 3/5 stars
My experience with Bishopsgate Law for a straightforward cash property purchase with no chain was mixed overall. My assigned solicitors Jodie Prospere and Vanisha Solanki were very efficient and communicative during the first couple months of the process. However, after that initial period, their responsiveness slowed dramatically.
Emails I sent would often go unanswered for several days, pushing things into the following week unnecessarily. On at least four occasions when I tried calling to speak with Jodie or Vanisha directly, I was informed they were unavailable and that one of them would call me back - but no return call ever came.
While there were some complexities that arose from the seller's side as well, I felt my solicitor team was content to let my purchase proceed at a glacial pace without pushing things along. It took over 6.5 months total for the sale to complete on what should have been a relatively simple transaction.
Around 5 months in, I had to formally complain via their complaints policy about the lack of communication. Only after this did their email responsiveness improve to an acceptable level, though there were still delays due to previous questions/enquiries of mine going unaddressed for months.
There were also instances where my solicitors seemed to have already received particular information, yet they re-requested it again later. To avoid any further delays, I simply re-provided that data without questioning it further.
Ultimately, Jodie and Vanisha did get the purchase across the line, albeit after excessive delays that felt preventable with more proactive communication and follow-up on their part. While their legal work seemed competent, the lack of client-focused service for long stretches was frustrating. I cannot wholeheartedly recommend them unless you have flexible timing for your property transaction.

I recently chose Bishopsgate Law as my solicitors for my first property purchase. My knowledge around the process was limited, having never purchased a house before. Rahul and Charlie explained everything step by step, and kept me well informed the whole time. Both were very responsive, professional, and great at their jobs.
I couldn’t recommend Rahul as a solicitor enough. He is honest, and it’s very obvious he only wants the best for clients. No question I had felt too silly or small to ask. Often, I would email Rahul with some questions and he would call me to talk me through everything and make sure I was happy and understood.
Overall, the purchase of my house was well within the estimated timeframe given, and was much quicker than expected.
I would recommend Bishopsgate law to anyone!

Reviews always make interesting reading. As a starting point, let me say that the service standards across Conveyancing as an industry are extremely low. This was most recently borne out by my first time Buyer's Conveyancers who were shockingly bad. On a brighter note therefore and in contrast to the experience of Emma Jackson, I found Stenson at Northampton and Amanda Turco at Bishopsgate to be professional and responsive. They answered the phone, if engaged on another call, they returned my calls, usually within 2 hours and they responded to my emails , usually within a few hours. They persevered when things were difficult, communicated with my agent and we finally completed after 6 months, all the delays coming from the other side. The key seems to be the team you are given. Don't hesistate to ask for a new team if your allocated team don't respond in the way you expect. My thanks to Bishopsgate, they are a little more expensive than the cheapest in the market, but you really do get what you pay for.
