Very slow and poor service

We have had a very poor experience with Dee & Griffin solicitors and will not be using them again.
Our property conveyancing completed in May 2024 and the admin is still not complete in July 2025.
We were chased for payments that had been made many months before.
My previous review was edited due to a threat of legal action so the detail above is accurate and factual, rather than emotionally driven.
I would not recommend Dee & Griffin Solicitors

We are genuinely sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience. However, we would like to clarify that the administrative delay you refer to relates to the HM Land Registry process, something that is entirely outside our control. Your transaction completed in May 2024, and the registration was submitted promptly thereafter, in line with standard practice. Unfortunately, HM Land Registry continues to experience significant national backlogs, which have affected many registrations across the legal industry.
We understand how frustrating this delay must be, and we have done, and continue to do, everything we can to monitor and progress the matter. We promptly respond to any requisitions or queries the Land Registry raise as soon as they are received.
Regarding the payment queries, we apologise if there was any confusion. Our records are maintained carefully, but if any oversight occurred, we would have welcomed the opportunity to address it directly at the time.
We take all feedback seriously and always aim to provide a professional and efficient service. While we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, we respectfully maintain that the delay in registration is a result of wider systemic issues at HM Land Registry, rather than a reflection of any failure on our part.
If there are any remaining matters you would like to discuss or clarify, we remain available to assist.

Took money for no work

Took money but due to Mortgage issues the sale fell through, said they would return the money minus the water survey fee.......many months later now ignoring me. I would suggest anyone avoid this company like the plague

Dee and Griffin Solicitors - We highly recomemended them.

Leah, Molly and the whole team at the Quedgeley branch were so helpful to my wife and I getting the sale of our house and the bungalow we bought before end of March 2025, so that we did not occur the new Stamp Duty Increase that started today ( 1st April 2025 ).

We like to say a big thank you to their professional team.

Great help!

Ellie and Lesley recently helped me for my house purchase, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Ellie was professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire process as smooth as possible. She was incredibly responsive, always ready to answer my questions, and explained everything clearly. Ellie kept me updated at each step, which really helped reduce the stress of buying a home. I felt supported throughout, and her attention to detail gave me confidence that everything was handled thoroughly. I highly recommend Dee and Griffin for anyone needing a reliable and efficient solicitor for property transactions.

Avoid this company

We instructed this company for the sale of our flat as they acted for the seller just 15 months earlier, from start to finish we never had dealings with a solicitor We were passed on to the juniors who do all the work. The replies to our emails were rude and not what i expected from a professional solicitor. It took 15 weeks to get to completion and this is because of my suggestions to compromises that were made by us.
I wish I would have read more if the reviews before instructing them.
I asked for the matter to be looked at after completion and this was done by a solicitor who defended the staff and saw nothing wrong with how they dealt with the case. No surprises there!

AVOID

AVOID! We instructed Dee & Griffin upon recommendation from The Property Centre. In hindsight I wish I had done my own research into their online reviews, many of which echo our negative experience. Jo B is obstructive, rude and unprofessional. Her team are incompetent. The client care is non existent. I went to the lengths of making a complaint to Andrew Dee who has offered a resolve but not followed through on the promise. Horrible experience, some of the worst customer service we have ever received.

I got to experience Professionalism at its highest level. Joanna Boucher's team(Sara, Nicola and Vicky) handled my house purchase. I got updates and legal advice concerning the purchase from the day I instructed them until the last day. Can do this again with them.

Cheltenham Branch

After working with Kelly Dean from the Cheltenham branch it was a pleasure from start to finish. Kelly’s meticulous attention to detail throughout the whole process was second to none and I had felt my case was handled with the upmost care and precision. She was very approachable and contactable throughout the process along with the help of Samantha Ward. There were a few delicate issues that needed attention throughout my process with both going above and beyond the necessary work that was required to keep myself informed and to highlight any potential issues they seemed it was necessary for me to know and ones I wasn’t aware of. Both were a formidable duo and if you’re looking for legal representation I would highly recommend and be using again in the future.

I will give no or negative star if I can

It was recommended by the estate agent to use Dee and Griffin in selling my house. Unfortunately, Julian kept ignoring the request from the buyer’s solicitor to do the deed of variation and caused long delay in the house completion. I had tried to ring to chase 2 times, staff promised to ring me back but never did. So frustrated!!!! Due to the long delay, the final legal fee was shockingly high!

1st class service

Used the Cheltenham office for a house sale. Communication excellent throughout and speed of exchange and completion well within timescales. In a stressful situation like buying or selling a house Dee and Griffin go the extra mile to make it stress free.

Rude and really slow

Poor communication, really slow, rude on email and never addressed us by name, emails were usually 3 word answers. They do everything by post and seem to be in the dark ages, they don't even use Zoom. I regret using them and they made a very stressful situation a lot worse. Their customer service is non-existent. Avoid at all costs.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Long, uncommunicative and clearly only saw me as a bank account. My sale fell through but having found somewhere else to buy, I went with a different solicitors who were honourable, approachable, supportive, open to all my questions. Not patronising or belittling like Dee and Griffin. Avoid.

An expensive waste of my time.

I used this lot to conveyance the purchase of a house which needed to have a piece of land registered by the seller. They told me they would withhold some money from themuntil this was done.
But they didn't do it, and I had to pay another solicitor to purchase an indemnity policy so I could re-sell the property. Dee & Griffin tried to weazel out of by implying it wasn't their responsibility because it was the fault of an ex-employee & by saying I didnt need to buy an indemnity policy anyway. WELL I DO IF THE NEW BUYERS' SOLICITORS INSISTS ON IT AS A CONDITION OF PURCHASE!!
When a succession of people are telling you that you're not providing an acceptable service, (thats me being polite). Then you need to consider the possibility that they may be right and that you have issues that should be addressed.

Your review is disappointing especially as we have already given you an in depth explanation on this matter. There was indeed a minor matter outstanding from when you purchased the property which occurred as a result of the person having the conduct of your file having left the firm. From the point that you reported it to us, we had the issue resolved in less than a fortnight and it would therefore have had little or no impact on your sale.

As previously explained, it is your choice to pay the additional costs that you are referring to. In our opinion, they are not necessary.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to discuss the matter further.

Stressful and costly

NB: Dee and Griffin has seen our review in advance and been given an opportunity to comment/apologise but did not reply. We had a very stressful experience with this company, whose policies knowingly prevent the other party from conducting a transaction without themselves using a solicitor, even for small / simple transactions. This cynical and unnecessary approach cost us over £1,000 and delayed their client’s transaction by two months. Moreover, we found the solicitor we dealt with rude and we were astonished to find that she put her client’s sale in jeopardy by falsely telling the estate agent that we were not in a position to proceed, when we had in fact spent hours trying to meet the practice’s excessive requirements. We have reported the company to the SRA as these policies are not in the public interest. The absence of civility, both in the initial dealings and in response to our complaints, has been so disappointing.
