Hutchins Law Reviews 

Exceptional service once again from Salem Akande!

Having previously worked with Salem on the sale of our flat in 2025, we had absolute trust in his abilities and had no hesitation in contacting him again for our recent home sale and purchase. Once again, he did an amazing job. Salem is calm, methodical, and incredibly responsive—always answering emails and calls in a timely fashion. Moving house can be an incredibly stressful process, but having Salem on our team made everything so much more manageable. We are incredibly grateful for all his hard work and highly recommend him!

I would strongly advise caution before using Hutchins & Co for conveyancing.

While my purchase completed before the SDLT deadline, the post-completion handling has been extremely poor and is still causing issues many months later.

Communication throughout the transaction was frustrating from the outset. Emails often went unanswered for long periods, it was very difficult to get hold of the assigned case handler by phone, and when contact was made I was frequently told to email instead — only for those emails to go unanswered as well. At times, correspondence was being sent late at night around 10–11pm.

After completion, I received HMRC correspondence relating to a missed SDLT submission despite being assured the matter would be dealt with. The firm later paid the penalty themselves, effectively acknowledging the error.

The most concerning part has been the ongoing post-completion and registration issues. Nearly a year after completion, I am still dealing with unresolved management company registration problems. Fees were omitted from completion statements, and during a previous complaint review I was expressly told that no further post-completion payments were outstanding. Months later, additional unresolved estate management issues and possible fees have now surfaced.

The matter has been escalated to the Legal Ombudsman due to the firm failing to properly respond to my original complaint within the required timeframe.

Overall, my experience has been one of poor communication, rushed handling, lack of clarity regarding post-completion requirements, and ongoing uncertainty long after completion should have been finalised.

Helpful and quick service, nice and friendly and answered all queries swiftly, brilliant.

After a difficult start Deniz and Aliosman picked up my case and their hard work, dedication and some long hours more than made up for it - with as a quick resolution as possible given delays by other third parties. Very proactive with my constant email and chasing which was really appreciated. Thank you guys for a job well done.

I was referred by auction company when my completion deadline was 14 days away Tufail dealt with my sales he is very professional kind and devoted person because of his efficiency we we able to do transaction one day before deadline and same day funds were in my bank account very well done Tufail keep it
Many thanks for your guidance all the way

I instructed Hutchins Law services to facilitate the purchase of my property. Salem was my designated solicitor and I have nothing but a positive experience. Given there were obstacles in my home buying process due to being part of a chain, Salem is very diligent throughout and kept me updated via email and via phone calls on the status of the process, next steps and provided timely legal counsel to navigate unforeseen hiccups. Upon completion, Salem was superb in following up some action items that became apparent for me after moving into the property which helped tremendously as I was going through renovations at the recently purchased property. Highly recommend Salem to anyone looking at home buying process in the near future.

I had an excellent experience working with Deniz throughout my conveyancing process. From start to finish, he was incredibly patient, professional, and supportive — especially when I encountered several difficult third parties and had to change direction multiple times along the way.

Despite the challenges, Deniz remained calm, proactive, and fully committed to getting everything over the line successfully. His transparency throughout the process was outstanding; he always kept me informed, explained things clearly, and made sure I understood my options at every stage.

What really stood out was his responsiveness. No matter how busy things became, Deniz was always quick to reply, incredibly thorough, and genuinely reassuring during stressful moments.

I am extremely grateful for all of his hard work and persistence, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and highly dedicated conveyancing lawyer.

Salem was our conveyancer and I couldn’t recommend enough, proactive and engaging. Reassured us throughout the process and expedited process where possible.

Great conveyancing team. Great communication, my assigned Solicitor was great, always kept me in the loop form the start to end. As a fist time buyer they have taken all the weight off my shoulder. Overall experience was good and Thumbs up to Reuben.

I would not hesitate to recommend Deniz Ekdial and the team at Hutchins Law.

Hutchins Law, in particular Ahmet, help me with all legal and conveyancing matters when purchasing my flat.
I can honestly say that they were brilliant.
We had some hurdles to overcome and I was worried about it but the care and calm nature of Ahmet s through out helped and at the end when 3 people said it cannot be done, he proved them all wrong and got amazing result for me.

Thank you again

We were given a 10 week completion timeframe for our part exchange of long leasehold flat to house with a difficult management company and new freeholder. Salem helped us meet the deadline, so we’re very happy with the result and found him helpful.

I’ve now used Hutchins Law for the second time, and I have to say this experience completely exceeded my expectations. My previous service wasn’t as great, so I was initially a bit sceptical, but I’m really glad I gave them another chance.
Ruben was absolutely amazing, attentive, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Even when a few hiccups arose, he persevered and handled everything calmly and efficiently, ensuring things ran smoothly from start to finish.
What really stood out was how consistently he kept me in the loop, providing clear updates and reassurance at every stage. His dedication and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience feel well managed and straightforward.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ruben and Hutchins Law to anyone looking for exceptional service.

Friendly, collaborative, co-operative and best of all efficient. Ruben M has conducted the conveyancing speedily and successfully without any major showstoppers. Most importantly, his communication at key stages has been a positive factor in this time. Highly recommended, and good value for money.

Deniz Ekdial where do I start. From taking on the case for our house to the end there is no other words to describe him but perfect. Quick responses from anything we asked to the dumbest questions as first time buyers he handled the case with the upmost professionalism and he made us feel at ease the whole time. From the works required he was quick and thorough and had everything completed within weeks on his side of the whole house sale.
If i was to have anyone do any work for me Legal wise it would be Deniz again!!! If we are to buy another house I would use him again without a doubt.
And i would recommend Deniz Ekdial to anyone who is thinking about purchasing a house!!!

It has been a genuine pleasure working with this team across several referred matters, and the experience has consistently been first-class. Their communication is always clear, prompt, and proactive—which plays a vital role in ensuring transactions progress efficiently and without unnecessary delays.

The team is highly organised, approachable, and solution-focused. They go above and beyond to support all parties involved, handling challenges with professionalism and ensuring a smooth, seamless process from start to finish.

A special mention goes to Deniz Ekdial, who has been outstanding throughout. His professionalism, attention to detail, and collaborative approach set a high standard. He is reliable, efficient, and always willing to go the extra mile, making him an absolute pleasure to work with. His contribution has been invaluable across multiple transactions.

We look forward to continuing this successful working relationship and would confidently recommend them as a trusted and dependable partner.

Just completed our house purchase with Salem.
Outstanding service. Great communication.
Would highly recommend, thank you Salem and team for a smooth purchase.

We had a great experience working with Lawyer Ahmet Uzunoğlu. He is extremely caring, professional, and supportive throughout the whole process. We are very grateful for his help and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable lawyer.”

Mr. Ahmet Uzunoglu was an excellent solicitor who helped us buy our first home. He was easy to communicate with and resolved our issues as quickly as possible. We would also like to thank Ms. Açelya B. Yıldırım for assisting us throughout this process. Highly recommended!

It’s been a pleasure to be working with Deniz at TP Legal, for the second time running. First time with a sale, second time with a purchase. Deniz was thorough and asked questions of the sellers solicitor throughout, leaving me (a long distance property investor) feeling secure and confident in my purchasing decision. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Deniz’s services to anyway… Deniz, I’m sure we’ll be in touch again very soon.
