Professional & client focused

Catherine kindly completed mine and my husband’s post-nuptial agreement. When my daughter phoned around several law firms to find who to instruct, she said that Catherine was the most understanding, kind, and patient on the phone and that it was refreshing to speak to her. Throughout the process Catherine explained everything clearly, always listed and advised based off her expertise and what we were looking for. She raised areas that we had not even thought of to ensure we had exactly what we needed. She was also a pleasure to speak to.

We are very grateful for Catherine and would definitely go to her again.

Catherine is very knowledgeable and gave me step by step instructions and advice throughout this process. Took much longer than expected due to Covid and had a positive outcome in the end. Highly recommended.

excellent, straightforward service

Everything was clearly communicated and dealt with immediately, providing a sense of reassurance that everything was being done with a high level of professionalism and efficiency.

I, like everyone else, was very keen to complete prior to the stamp duty change and from early on I was confident everything was being done to achieve this, despite I'm sure many clients all pressing for the same.

I would strongly recommend BDG and specifically Victoria and will certainly return should I need a conveyancing solicitor in future.

Review of BDGsolicitors and Catherine Taylor

After 20 years of procrastination and bad service by other solicitors dealing with my never ending divorce, Catherine got me out of a deep hole with her excellent advice and action. I am finally completely clear of all ties and I can highly recommend her.

I would have no hesitation in recommending BDG LLP Solicitors. They have been brilliant. Catherine Taylor has been a pleasure to deal with, and has helped me and my Mum with some urgent work with both efficiency and pace. Thank you

BDG has been my go-to conveyancing for a few years. They have always been super efficient. Had a small problem to iron out with my lease and Ilian Granville (owner) skillfully unpicked it like a pro. - in a matter of days!

Avoid - much better options around. Prior customer, live overseas. Had lined up BDG to do the legals on a property I was selling. Contacted them when I had a buyer, they did not respond to my email. Called them up (inconvenient given my timezone), the receptionist (who refused to provide her name for "security issues" - what???) acknowledged they had my email but it hadn't been dealt with ("they were busy"), promised a response within 24 hours. I emphasised I just need a response - could they act for me or not? Never heard anything from them again. So unprofessional. Approached another local firm (Funnell & Perring) and within 30 minutes had an emailed proposal to act - super efficient.
