CDS Mayfair Avis 130

Having had my original flat sale fall through, in part due to incredibly slow solicitors on both sides, I was nervous about selecting a new one. However I really didn’t need to be. CDS have been brilliant particularly Hayley Marcus who dealt with my sale. Always responsive , incredibly patient and most importantly always answers the phone. If you are looking for a solicitor to handle your flat sale I couldn’t recommend CDS more highly.

Lena Abdali and the team at CDS worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth start to finish with my flat sale, especially during difficult periods and I couldn’t be happier with their service provided.

Meera Savania at CDS Mayfair recently acted for me and my ex-spouse in the sale of a jointly owned property. She was pragmatic and purposeful in how she handled issues that cropped up during the conveyancing process, and was very thorough and diligent in her responses and follow-ups. Similarly, I appreciated Meera's thoughtful, sensible and calm communication throughout a difficult context for me personally. This shouldn't have had to be part of the job, but I felt she handled a difficult situation sensitively and professionally. I would recommend her without hesitation.

I used CDS for a flat sale. Having bought and sold multiple properties over the years this sale was potentially the most problematic (with issues on the buyers' side as well as my own). There were multiple instances where I thought the sale might fall through but Meera at CDS was brilliant - calm, knowledgeable, proactive, kept the process running as smoothly as possible, and was very responsive whenever I needed to communicate with her. Would definitely use again without hesitation. Am very grateful for her services.

We can't thank Lena and Zainab enough for their help in our process, they've both been excellent throughout and we will definitely be using their services in the future.

I recently worked with Eleni at CDS to purchase my first home, and she was excellent. She responded promptly to all my emails, and was able to answer any questions throughout the process. She ensured the process was smooth and seamless, and I would highly recommend her for anyone also about to purchase a property.

Very good experience. Keena was always available, proactive and professional! Thanks for your support in getting this transaction over the line.

I had the pleasure to work with Lena Abdali and it was really recommended. He is really prepared and it is easy to comunicate with.

Eleni Georgiou was wonderful to work with: calm, charming, and very efficient, and most importantly, responded promptly to any queries, which made for a smooth sailing of the property sale. I will definitely seek her out in the future, and cannot recommend her highly enough. Many many thanks Eleni!

I have to say that Eleni was absolutely great from start to finish, always ( literally!) available on the phone, so professional and helpful . Credit to the Company! Thank you Eleni and see you in Croatia someday.

Overall, a smooth and well-handled experience. I would happily recommend CDS Mayfair to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing service.

CDS Mayfair provided an excellent service to me when selling my flat and preserved admirably in what was a lengthy and sometimes complex process.

I would 1 million percent recommend her to anyone who needs a genuinely lovely, very professional and trustworthy solicitor!

Before you even consider instructing CDS Mayfair, read this twice — carefully:
My experience relates specifically to working with Elena Tsirlina, who is the Head of the Immigration Department at CDS Mayfair.
I paid more than £85,000 in legal fees for services connected with my immigration and human rights matters. My subsequent complaint resulted in a final decision by the Legal Ombudsman, which awarded me £50,000, the maximum available remedy.
The issues I raised included the handling of an application to the European Court of Human Rights, documents submitted to the court in my name which I dispute having authorised, and the disclosure of highly sensitive personal information concerning my family and my minor children.
In its final decision, the Legal Ombudsman recognised the seriousness of the consequences for my family, including the severe psychological impact on my children.
Based on my experience, I strongly encourage any potential clients considering instructing Elena Tsirlina or CDS Mayfair to carry out very careful due diligence before doing so.
Potential clients may also wish to review regulatory findings concerning CDS Mayfair, including disciplinary action reported in the legal press in August 2023, when the firm was fined more than £23,000 following findings linked to Solicitors Regulation Authority compliance requirements.

Lena and Mita helped me sell my property and purchase the next. Prompt replies, excellent communication throughout the process. They had my best interests at heart- even more than I did myself. Highly recommend.

My wife and I were referred to CDS Mayfair by Foxtons, and from the very beginning, we knew we were in good hands. We genuinely haven’t regretted the decision to choose them as our lawyers for helping to buy our first home

Rahima, in particular, has been absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process. She’s shown remarkable diligence, patience, and attention to detail — even when things became quite complicated (the process lasted longer than we hoped it would, but it wouldve been even longer without CDS + Foxtons, who’ve shown versatility and ability to seek compromise). Rahima’s professionalism and persistence here were second to none, and she always took the time to jump on a call and explain every step in plain English, which made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable . We’re genuinely grateful for her hard work and calm reassurance along the way.

A special thanks as well to Lauren and the wider CDS Mayfair team for their support and responsiveness throughout. It’s rare to find a firm that combines such professionalism with a genuinely caring approach. We couldn’t recommend CDS Mayfair more highly

My partner and I used CDS when purchasing our first home and were appointed Lena Abdali as our solicitor. Lena was always prompt, easy to reach and always quick to respond. As first time buyers, we really appreciated how clearly she explained everything, making the whole process far less daunting. Lena kept us updated throughout and genuinely fought our corner on more than one occasion when dealing with difficult sellers (and subsequently pulling out of our first purchase!)

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’d highly recommend both Lena and CDS to anyone, and we’ll definitely be using the again in the future when we move.
