Chain delays caused by dean Wilson

We’re at the end of a small chain (2 properties) which has been held up by a month. I found out today it’s because of Dean Wilson, who have been unable to approve a deed of covenant despite promising it on numerous occasions. I’d strongly recommend not using them for legal work as they seem extremely incompetent.

The Conveyancing Team at Dean Wilson…

The Conveyancing Team at Dean Wilson LLP are dynamic, knowledgeable and proactive. They responded very quickly and thoroughly to any questions we had and kept the process moving forward. Others involved in our chain noticed that Dean Wilson LLP were the best and quickest to communicate and respond. Seamless teamwork - if one Team Member was out of the office, another Team Member was available to us and knowledgeable about our matter. Being able to trust the Dean Wilson LLP Conveyancing Team took a lot of stress out of our house move - thank you!

Dean Wilson have been supportive and fast

Dean Wilson have been supportive and correct on advising us as lease owners managing lease extensions and disputes. We worked with them exclusively and they know our property well and the categories of issues associated with UK properties and leases.

Amazing help and support!

Jennie at Dean Wilson LLP was AMAZING from beginning to end. She helped me understand the process we would need to go through and supported me through it. She made it as painless as possible and help move the process along in a timely fashion and get to the right outcome!.

Undermining the justice system

My opponents lawyer (Sarah Phillips) throughout the family court process was at Dean Wilson, she is a partner. Lawyers have an ethical obligation to report perjury if they become aware of it. After it became undeniably clear my daughters mother had committed perjury in 2022, Lawyer decided not to report it and carry on representing her, whilst also trying to gaslight me in an official statement. When I questioned Dean Wilson and gave them a chance to explain themselves, they ignored me, A partner at a law firm breaking the law is not a good sign, they are now being reported to the SRA

Great professionalism and patient guidance

The two from DW that guided me through my business purchase were extremely helpful and patient, as the process took longer than expected. They provided reassurance along the way and were on hand to answer any question or query I had. Would very much recommend them.

Small grubby people

Parasites who feed on the misfortune of others. The longer they take, the more mistakes they make, the more they charge. According to the Judge, they tried to overcharge me by 400%. Avoid.

Slow and unresponsive

My property purchase has been handled by 3/4? different solicitors at Dean Wilson so far, not all of whom respond to emails or provide any updates.

I understand that there can be staff leave and other changes to account for in a workplace but this should not prevent a basic level of communication with a customer.

This sale has taken 7 months so far, the majority of that time with no updates from Dean Wilson up until my case was transferred to a different person in November 2024. She did get in touch and provide updates and documents for me to sign, thank you.

Since then another solictor is now handling my case and communication has reverted to the default zero replies.

Highly recommended legal support.

Dean Wilsons represented me after a careless driver put me in the hospital for a month and left me with a heavily damaged foot. Dealing with the accident was a physically and emotionally painful time but my injury solicitor Alex was the best help I could ask for! When the process was not running smoothly due to opposing factors he was always on hand to provide guidance, support, and explain the legal terms in plain English without making me feel silly. When there were times when I would slip into despair worrying about my case I could always count on Alex. Though my injury business is over with Dean Wilson I will be calling for their services when I require legal representation to purchase a home. I could not recommend this solicitors firm more!

Road traffic Accident

I was knocked over by a car whilst crossing the road in February 2022.I had 14 fractures and spent a long period of time in hospital. During this time Ben Davey visited me in hospital and introduced Dean Wilson and their services and from then on guided me through the very complicated legal process .
He was assisted by his paralegal Tom Saady Gardiner who i found to be very patient and reassuring. Their expert help and support resulted in a settlement that will help me for my future care .
I would highly recommend Ben and Tom from Dean Wilson and would like to personally thank them .

Would recommend

Nothing to fault to be honest. Communication on the most part was extremely efficient. Everyone was very nice and always very helpful with any queries I had during the process of my claim.
I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Ben thinks outside the box ensuring all your needs will be met.

Working with Ben Davey and his team was a great experience. I was in a road traffic collision and sought representation from them. From the start the communication was top, Ben would take the time to explain how all the litigation works and from time to time would call to see how I was doing. He always made me feel at ease and would answer all my questions, I was always in the loop of what was happening.

Ben has a great wealth of knowledge; he thinks outside the box always ensuring my best interests are being met. He has worked tirelessly with so many factors surrounding my case, and with so many different people too. He and his team helped me though a troublesome experience, and it had a fantastic outcome. I cannot thank Ben, Summer, Jessica and Linda enough. I would absolutely without doubt recommend.

I can’t thank Dean Wilson enough

I can’t thank Dean Wilson enough for what they did for me after I was involved in a horrific road traffic accident, followed by major surgery and long rehabilitation.
Ben and Tom followed my case and patiently explained to me the legal intricacies of personal injury claims. They always replied promptly to my queries using easily understandable terms. They were professional throughout, extremely competent and, last but not least, very kind and empathic.
I would certainly recommend them to anyone whenever legal assistance is needed. I have 100% confidence in them and feel extremely grateful to them for being by my side in an extremely difficult period of my life.
