Dean Skinner and his team at Bennett Griffin managed the conveyancing of the flat I was purchasing. I thought the fees were very competitive and we struck a good relationship from my first exploratory phone conversation. I had little knowledge of the process and Dean was very helpful from the outset, agreeing to phone calls as well as emails to facilitate clarification and minimise delays. As is often the case with conveyancing, there were one or two complications and Dean proved to be diligent in pursuing the Vendor’s solicitors until they provided all of the legally required information in full. I have been very pleased with the service and would unhesitatingly recommend Dean and his team.

I have been in the process of selling and buying. Through this process I have been able to compare others solicitors to my own. Through my comparisons all I can say is that I am relieved and impressed that I have been represented by Bennett Griffin. They have been professional and helpful. Whenever I have asked for advice or progression of the sale they have been on hand to help. Communication between myself and them has be exceptional and they have been friendly throughout. I thank them for their help so far.

I have been lucky enough to have Dean Skinner as my property solicitor for at least 8 years, buying, selling and advice. One of the most important things for me is that he actually answers the phone if you need to speak to him or will phone you back if unavailable. Always friendly and approachable.

My daughter’s house was owned as half by me and half by her. The time came to transfer my half in to her name and so I needed a firm of solicitors to act for me. Dean Skinner dealt with the whole matter very quickly and managed to get my daughter’s solicitors, who had been dragging their feet, to speed up. I was very pleased indeed with this.”

Many thanks for dealing with two pretty incompetent solicitors working for our buyers who in my opinion should be sacked. … thank you for your persistence. Good job!!”
