DWS Legal Reviews 

Always recieved timely responses to emails and phone calls.

​I had an exceptional experience with DWS Legal during the sale of my property, and I cannot recommend them enough! A special thank you to Kat and Patrycja, who were absolute stars throughout the entire process. They were extremely approachable, friendly, and highly professional. Communication was seamless—every email was answered promptly, and all my questions were addressed with patience and clarity. Everything was handled efficiently and completed right on time, making what is usually a stressful process completely smooth and hassle-free. Thank you, Kat and Patrycja, for your amazing support!

My 3rd time using these for a house sale and have had a pleasant experience every single time. Communication is always prompt, and have never had any issues obtaining information or help throughout the processes making it as stress free as possible. Would strongly recommend and will be using once again when the time comes.

Fast efficient and kept me well informed throughout the process

Fantastic experience. Prompt replies and always happy to explain if you have not understood. Would definitely recommend.

Professional and helpful, great service.

I had an excellent experience with the conveyancing team, particularly Aaliya and Brooke, who were both fantastic throughout the entire process.

I used the firm for my home purchase with StrideUp, and one of the main reasons I chose them was their experience with Islamic home purchase plans and their position on the approved solicitor panels for these lenders. As a first-time buyer, I really appreciated how clearly they explained each stage of the process and took the time to make sure I understood what was happening.

The customer service was excellent from start to finish. Communication was always quick, clear and professional, and I never had any issues getting a response. Despite our purchase being part of a chain, they communicated very effectively not only with me but also with the other parties involved, which helped keep everything moving smoothly.

Aaliya and Brooke were both extremely professional, approachable and understanding. They made what could have been a stressful process feel much more manageable, and I always felt that my questions and concerns were taken seriously.

My brother-in-law also previously used the same team for his Gatehouse home purchase and had an equally smooth experience, which gave me confidence in choosing them.

I would definitely recommend their services to friends and family, particularly anyone looking for solicitors experienced in Islamic home finance. A brilliant team and a very professional service from start to finish.

A brilliant service while buying my home with a friendly team. They made the process so simple and kept me updated throughout. I would highly recommend them.

It has been a pleasure working with Aaliya on my home purchase. She has been incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire process, making everything straightforward and stress-free. I really appreciated how quickly we were able to move things along thanks to her efficiency and clear communication. Thank you, Aaliya, for all your support!

Friendly & professional service in particular from Darshna who was a pleasure to work with; highly recommended for your conveyancing needs

Slow, lacking proactivity, unprofessional.

I would not recommend DWS based on our experience so far.

Our buyers are first-time buyers with no property to sell, yet their side of the transaction has taken the longest in the entire chain. What should have been a straightforward process has been plagued by unnecessary delays.

Communication has been slow, reactive rather than proactive, and unprofessional. It took weeks just to onboard the buyers, creating avoidable delays and frustration for everyone else in the chain.

On more than one occasion, Pritesh has claimed not to have received emails from our solicitors, despite other emails being successfully sent to and received from the same email address. I also noticed another review referencing the same conveyancer describing a very similar issue regarding emails, which is concerning.

We have raised our frustrations throughout the transaction via our own solicitors and through the estate agent, but our concerns have not been noted or addressed and has made little difference.

These ongoing delays are potentially putting the entire chain at risk and have caused significant, unnecessary stress for everyone involved.

The transaction is still ongoing, but based on our experience to date, I would not recommend using DWS for conveyancing.

Very professional, all went well with the house move.

Excellent firm very professional and helpful in answering all my queries. Megan was excellent in responding back to any of my queries. Will use again 💯

​12 months for a chain-free property swap - poor communication and oversight.
​We used Pritesh for a direct property swap with our buyer. With no complex chain involved, this should have been a relatively straightforward transaction. Instead, the process dragged on for nearly 12 months and caused immense, unnecessary stress for my wife and I.
​The primary issues were poor communication and a lack of proactivity. We spent the majority of the transaction chasing Pritesh for updates. Whenever we finally managed to reach him by phone, we were invariably told he was "just typing an email to us."
​Several significant oversights occurred along the way. Early on, our submitted documents were misplaced by the firm, forcing us to pay out-of-pocket for a second set of certified copies. Later, when our buyer's conveyancer changed, Pritesh was formally notified but spent a full month sending emails to the old contact. He only realized his mistake after he asked us to chase the buyers ourselves and we pointed out his error. Furthermore, every time we felt close to completion, a new, previously unmentioned requirement would pop up. It constantly felt like crucial details were being missed or overlooked until the last minute.
​To his credit, Pritesh did redeem himself slightly in the final stages. He provided excellent, solid advice around the actual completion. If we had experienced that version of Pritesh from day one, this would easily be a 5-star review. Unforunately, a strong final few weeks do not undo a year of stressful mismanagement.

DWS Legal have performed exceptionally well for us on what has been a protracted house sale. Always highly responsive with quick positive advice on the best way forward. We had confidence from a previous experience with them and again they provided a very professional service. A special thank you to Samantha Heatherley and Chaz Thandi

I experienced fantastic support from DWS from start to finish and I felt completely valued as their Client, especially when decisions were made to the benefit of my finances.
Communication was also very good and I was always kept up to date with the progress of the Buyer’s solicitor. I would definitely use DWS again, every time.

Very dangerous company! harassment for 12 months over !! steer clear at all costs they will make up debts after you have already paid outstanding ones even though I have email confirmation. The attitude of the staff is unprofessional and really does reflect what kind of company this is.

Very very slow with no real excuse. Avoid

I had a really positive experience with DWS - Aaliyah and Brooke to be precise. They were patient throughout the entire process and never made me feel rushed. Every question I had was answered clearly and in good time, which made a stressful situation much easier to manage. They truly went above and beyond, especially when it came to sorting out documents for me as I was going from a sale to a rental. I’m very grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them.

Very helpful team in managing the sale of my property and I found the team efficient and diligent . It would have perhaps been useful to be geographically closer ,but overall was very good value for money . Thank you
