My girlfriend and I used Pengillys following many recommendations from colleagues at work, and I have to say, they were absolutely fantastic. We were new to the Weymouth area, so weren't sure who to use initially, but will always go to Pengillys from now on. Our first purchase fell through, as the seller couldn't find another property within their price range, so we had to go through the process twice. Matt and Hannah were brilliant on both occasions, and did everything they could to chase up other Weymouth based conveyancers / solicitors who we found to be slow (understatement!) in responding to queries raised by Pengillys.

If it hadn't been for Hannah following up constantly, we would definitely have missed the stamp duty holiday. Thanks Pengillys, for all your help and efficient service during what was probably one of the busiest periods in property market history!

Matthew was excellent throughout the whole process of my house purchase and provided prompt communication in every step

I used Pengillys to complete my purchase of a house this year. Both Matt and Hannah who worked on my case were non-responsive to my calls (I only ever spoke to Matt once, and never to Hannah) despite leaving messages with their PA and via email. They did not follow through on my instructions and made serious mistakes. Emails were always one liners usually less than 5 words with no attempt at civility, professionalism or mindfulness that I was the client and that I had needs.

After many months of this approach I nearly gave up trying to make the purchase but was persuaded to continue by my partner. Once the purchase finally went through Matt made a mistake in the financials that would have cost me 1000 had I not noticed the mistake a few days later. When I raised it I was told (Yes I) to check again and no attempt was made to check their side. I had to insist it was looked at in order to get my money back.

I never received an apology or acknowledgment. The money just got put into my account. Honestly, I'm not sure how this practice remains in business. I would strongly advise other potential clients to avoid using them.

My wife and I instructed Tom Cleall of Pengillys in the purchase of our first house; during the start of the Covid-19 outbreak, and with our first baby imminent. Tom pulled out all the stops to ensure we got in despite the measures being implemented at the time, and whatsmore he did so without any stress at all to us; we just left everything to him. I can confidently say that if we had used a run of the mill conveyancer rather than Tom, we would not have managed to get in our new home before lockdown ended, or perhaps at all. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who wants hassle free conveyancing, and we look forward to instructing him again in the future.

Phoned Pengillys today to make appointment to get Statutory Declaration witnessed. Recommended by Mustoe Shorter and previously used them during purchase of my flat. Experience, absolutely useless. Woman who answered the phone was so snooty, unhelpful and a disgrace to her employer with her unhelpful, attitude. She needs to go for retraining on how to work with the public in a way that is helpful and of value to a prospective customer. After today I will never use Pengilly's ever again and will never recommend them to anyone else. All due to this womans bad attitude. POartners in this business, please make note. Thank you.

Very new building with plenty of room in a lovely location and has disabled access and mr berry solicitor was helpful and understanding
