Dutton Gregory Avis 390

Finalizing a divorce is never easy, but Rachael House made the process feel seamless and stress-free. She was always prompt in her responses and made sure every detail was covered, right down to the final court orders. I felt completely confident in her hands and truly appreciated her HONEST, straightforward, kind approach. If you need a solicitor who gets the job done efficiently while making you feel like a valued client, look no further than Rachael.

I’m truly grateful that Rachael kept with the original budget (approximately), was honest in all her dealings, and had excellent communication. My gratitude - and relief- is immense.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I recently used Dutton Gregory for the sale of my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication. My sale was completed in under 5 months. I was kept informed at every stage, and any questions I had were answered promptly and clearly, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel straightforward and well-managed. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solicitor.

The service provided was excellent. Katie and Carley dealt with the sale and were very approachable and helpful. Any time I had a query they were quick to get back to me. Carley dealt with Completion and worked so hard to make it happen on the day. We really appreciated everything she did for us. Would thoroughly recommend.

guidance, patience, and professionalism throughout this entire journey. From start to finish, you have been consistently supportive, clear, and reassuring, even when the process felt protracted and complex. Your understanding and steady guidance made a situation that could easily have been overwhelming feel far more manageable, and I am genuinely grateful for the care and attention you have shown at every stage. Your support has made a significant difference and has helped make the process much smoother and far less stressful than it might otherwise have been.

It is the second time I asked Dutton Gregory to help me with my case. This time again, I faced competence, reliability and what is the most important for me ethical behaviour, which comes with integrity. I am very pleased with the team, although I would like to give my praises to Jonathan Whettingsteel for his "all in" work ethic, especially his patience and understanding. Today I come back with my three beautiful kids from holiday. We had great time together. We can't wait to see each other again this week. Thank you Jonathan for that.

Fantastic service from Amanda Watts at Dutton Gregory, who was professional, courteous and responsive throughout the sale. Amanda helped our transaction complete within three weeks — highly recommend

Have been dealing with Katie Page for around a year on a property purchase. There were some delays, with which she has been able to support us to complete the purchase.

She has proven herself respectful, resourceful and responsive. I will certainly be looking to work with Katie in the future

Having just moved in and secured the house of our dreams I feel incredibly grateful to our solicitor Paige French. We had a terrible previous journey of solicitors and estate agents and since finding Paige everything seemed to change instantly. We were really against the tide with several difficulties including massive pressure from my partners chain to move within a certain time frame and on only just changing solicitors we were very concerned this might not happen and were put under immense stress. Our solicitor Paige was the absolute light in our tunnel of darkness that we had been in for so long, she communicated and reassured everyone including us, she provided us updates along with highlighting straight away anything outstanding we needed to do. The communication was key to the success along with her professional polite and friendly emails and calls we instantly knew we had someone finally on our side in this whole process. Paige worked tirelessly against many issues which seemed out of our control but with a cool head and consistent reassurance to the other company buying my house as well as my partners chain I believe she alone made this happen for us! I will forever ever be grateful and have already recommended her along with Dutton and greggory solicitors to others that have asked for advice quite recently. Obtain an excellent solicitor and the process of moving will be much more in your control! Paige we cannot thank you enough we have secured the house of our dreams in such a short time frame since switching to you and we just want fully recommend your services and this solicitors for anyone wanting top class excellent efficient and professional service. We will always use Dutton and Greggory in the future for anything we may need. Thank you so very very much !

Professional service, Gareth and his team were extremely quick to respond to any issues I had. Would use them again and recommend them to family and friends.

Amanda from Dutton & Gregory has been amazing in helping us sell two properties. Her care and attention and keeping us up to date with everything that was going on throughout was very much appreciated.

Trusting Dutton Gregory with my Sale and Purchase was an excellent decision. Gareth and Tharin on the sale side and Nathalie on the purchase side have been brilliant. Supportive and quick to react to enquiries and helpful with a stressful and complex process.

I will start with a statement. It is never simple buying and selling a house.

Now that's been said, it was not made easier by this firms poor communication or lack of advice. Whether it was months without updates, not bothering to update the app (which still says we are at 50% 4 months after the transaction) or just not bothering to reply.

Technically we are still waiting for the final output from our sale transaction. So I still have to wait for our last bit of info which is quite frankly abysmal.

If you asked for advice, you didnt get it. If you asked or provided specific information to support a matter you had, you wouldn't get a reply. I recall us having three bullets to add to the enquires and they didnt even bother to send them over to the other solicitors and just told us to speak with their estate agent. The enquiry was a legal point that I needed a formal response to, they didnt care and I only found out because the pack that was returned didnt contain anything I asked for. We couldn't go back to it as our buyers were running out of patience due to how long everything was taking.

Zero humanity or empathy for the stresses for these transactions, just incredibly blunt replies, if you got one at all.

Id recommend this firm to anyone I disliked.

I have been dealing with the Woking branch for the last 2 years relating to my Mother's probate and estate. We have also used them for our house Sale and Purchase. There were definitely moments when things got quite frustrating but everyone I dealt with, including Dan, Ella and Hirakshi..plus Bronwyn were very professional and very patient. It has been a pleasure to deal with this firm of Solicitors and I would not hesitate to recommend them for conveyance and probate work

Helen was very efficient & helpful
All my questions were answered & the whole process was dealt with very quickly
Thank you

Chosen them out of two recommendations by the estate agent

Gareth was my case handler. the communication was dreadful and quite frankly rude.
Never address my enquiries directly and sometimes outright ignored them. They still get my first name wrong in the email, despite making it clear early in the process.
They cant careless to explain the significance of each decision and what to look out for, making each step of extremely stressful, especially for a first time buyer like myself

The portal I was charged £40 for to monitor and track progress? Nothing was ever updated and I had to chase constantly for email responses.

I can smell something is off and raised my concerns very early (about 2 weeks) into the process, but nothing had changed, no improvement whatsoever.

Please, take this review seriously and go elsewhere, for the sake of your sanity.

We went to Dutton Gregory on the recommendation of a friend having had a truly awful experience with the previous solicitor. It was such a joy to work with Amber who knew exactly what was needed, was fully transparent with price and timings and kept us fully informed. True value for money. Would wholeheartedly recommend this team.

FTB here.

The buying journey was good overall, although my solicitor didn’t explain much and mainly just sent me the relevant documents to sign. That said, this was fine. So I had to do my homework and try to understand every piece, bit by bit, in all those legal documents.

However, the real nightmare was around my stamp duty. After moving in for over a month, I realised I still hadn’t received my stamp duty certificate.

I started chasing the solicitor in September 2025, and eventually received a letter from HMRC confirming that my stamp duty had not been paid. But I really had no idea why because I had paid all required monies to my solicitor prior to completion, and the payment should have been made on my behalf.

The solicitor’s assistant later admitted that they had missed the stamp duty payment and advised they would resolve the issue. However, I then received a further chasing letter from HMRC stating that the stamp duty was still outstanding.

I attempted to contact the solicitor again, and their assistant responded to say that the payment should have been made. I continued to wait for confirmation and the SDLT certificate, but nothing was received.

After following up again in December 2025, I finally received confirmation from the solicitor’s assistant in January 2026 that the SDLT certificate had been successfully obtained.

To be honest, I don’t know whether this is a reasonable process, but you can judge for yourself whether you would want to instruct them as your solicitor when buying a property.

During a difficult time for our family,Carley and the team helped to progress our situation swiftly and professionally. I personally will be contacting them again in the future should I need them.

I used Dutton Gregory for my sale/purchase of my property, they were in constant communication throughout and have an online portal which tracks the stages throughout. I had a difficult experience with my completion falling through at no fault of Alisha, however she was so professional throughout and we managed to complete recently after only 5 weeks of conveyancing which is an absolute credit to how quickly Alisha worked to ensure a speedy completion.

If you are going to use the Chandlers Ford branch for Conveyancing, then check, check and triple check all your paperwork they send you!
I used DG to purchase my flat, however after 3 month of living there I received an invoice from the management company for a substantial amount of money, after going back through my paperwork that my solicitor had sent, I found this potential cost in amongst an "information only" pack.
After speaking with several other legal professionals, I was informed that this should have been bought to my attention well before asking me to sign contracts.
I have now suffered severe financial loss through my conveyancers sheer laziness and sub standard Conveyancing.
Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend using their Chandlers Ford branch for conveyancing.
