Dutton Gregory Opiniones 

Helen was very efficient & helpful
All my questions were answered & the whole process was dealt with very quickly
Thank you

Chosen them out of two recommendations by the estate agent

Gareth was my case handler. the communication was dreadful and quite frankly rude.
Never address my enquiries directly and sometimes outright ignored them. They still get my first name wrong in the email, despite making it clear early in the process.
They cant careless to explain the significance of each decision and what to look out for, making each step of extremely stressful, especially for a first time buyer like myself

The portal I was charged £40 for to monitor and track progress? Nothing was ever updated and I had to chase constantly for email responses.

I can smell something is off and raised my concerns very early (about 2 weeks) into the process, but nothing had changed, no improvement whatsoever.

Please, take this review seriously and go elsewhere, for the sake of your sanity.

We went to Dutton Gregory on the recommendation of a friend having had a truly awful experience with the previous solicitor. It was such a joy to work with Amber who knew exactly what was needed, was fully transparent with price and timings and kept us fully informed. True value for money. Would wholeheartedly recommend this team.

FTB here.

The buying journey was good overall, although my solicitor didn’t explain much and mainly just sent me the relevant documents to sign. That said, this was fine. So I had to do my homework and try to understand every piece, bit by bit, in all those legal documents.

However, the real nightmare was around my stamp duty. After moving in for over a month, I realised I still hadn’t received my stamp duty certificate.

I started chasing the solicitor in September 2025, and eventually received a letter from HMRC confirming that my stamp duty had not been paid. But I really had no idea why because I had paid all required monies to my solicitor prior to completion, and the payment should have been made on my behalf.

The solicitor’s assistant later admitted that they had missed the stamp duty payment and advised they would resolve the issue. However, I then received a further chasing letter from HMRC stating that the stamp duty was still outstanding.

I attempted to contact the solicitor again, and their assistant responded to say that the payment should have been made. I continued to wait for confirmation and the SDLT certificate, but nothing was received.

After following up again in December 2025, I finally received confirmation from the solicitor’s assistant in January 2026 that the SDLT certificate had been successfully obtained.

To be honest, I don’t know whether this is a reasonable process, but you can judge for yourself whether you would want to instruct them as your solicitor when buying a property.

During a difficult time for our family,Carley and the team helped to progress our situation swiftly and professionally. I personally will be contacting them again in the future should I need them.

I used Dutton Gregory for my sale/purchase of my property, they were in constant communication throughout and have an online portal which tracks the stages throughout. I had a difficult experience with my completion falling through at no fault of Alisha, however she was so professional throughout and we managed to complete recently after only 5 weeks of conveyancing which is an absolute credit to how quickly Alisha worked to ensure a speedy completion.

If you are going to use the Chandlers Ford branch for Conveyancing, then check, check and triple check all your paperwork they send you!
I used DG to purchase my flat, however after 3 month of living there I received an invoice from the management company for a substantial amount of money, after going back through my paperwork that my solicitor had sent, I found this potential cost in amongst an "information only" pack.
After speaking with several other legal professionals, I was informed that this should have been bought to my attention well before asking me to sign contracts.
I have now suffered severe financial loss through my conveyancers sheer laziness and sub standard Conveyancing.
Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend using their Chandlers Ford branch for conveyancing.

My contact was Lily Benson who did an excellent job on the sale of my flat. She was pleasant and very helpful, particularly in assisting with electronic signing of documents as I was remote from Bournemouth.

I highly recommend Amanda Watts. I have found her approach to conveyancing to be unflappable, level-headed, and incredibly knowledgeable. I recommend her without reservation.

I couldn’t recommend Hirakshi and the rest of the residential property team in the Woking office. Hirakshi ensured everything was completed quickly and efficiently. She went above and beyond in helping us purchase our first home.

I use Dutton Gregory in my profession as a Financial Adviser and have always received great advice for my clients from the Private Client team.

I have also just used them for my own conveyancing need and Alisha & Annie have been timely and professional and I would highly recommend their services.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided for the sale and purchase my properties by Hirakshi Shajpal of Dutton Gregory Solicitors. Every aspect of the transactions was handled perfectly. I would have no hesitation recommending your service to others. Many thanks Hirakshi. Graham

Michelle was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. As a first-time buyer, she made the process smooth and stress-free, completing everything ahead of schedule. Thank you.

Right from the start Hirakshi was reasuring, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. She was very easy to communicate with and spoke to us on our level. She always replied very quickly to any queries or concerns we had. Also her team were very good.
We would definitely use Dutton Gregory again and would recommend them to friends & family.
Thank you for making the experience of moving house a little less stressful!

Kirsty and her team at Dutton Gregory are very efficient and helpful. They made this process of buying a house smooth and easy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience as a first time buyer - Lily was brilliant from start to finish, consistent communication and kept me up-to-date every step of the way. I will definitely keep Dutton Gregory in mind for future conveyancing! Thank you :)

Lily, provided an excellent and friendly service with the conveyance of my parents property.

I was informed of every step of the conveyancing and all executed with professional expertise.

I would certainly recommend this company, thank you Lily...😊

We had been selected Alishia Binfield from Dutton Gregory.

We were very sceptical of selecting a solicitor when selling and buying a new house however we recieved nothing but the best service through out our process, our process ended up being very rocky but Alishia gave us nothing but reassurance and dealt with the problems head on and with no time to waste, Alishia always took my calls and if not called back as soon as she had a gap, always replied to emails, I have nothing bad to say about Alishia, this fantastic lady did everything for us if not more, if you are looking to buy and sell and end up with Alishia as your selected solicitor just know you are in good hands as this can be a very stressful process, big thank you to Alishia Binfield and Ryan.

Carley and the team dealing with our property transaction were brilliant. They were easy to get hold of, walked us through every step and handled our transaction with expertise.

Nathalie was helpful and informative throughout, very happy with the level of service provided
