I called Darlington's and was called back very quickly. David Rosen spoke to me and not only did he understand my situation very well but got my request actioned within a couple of hours, something that none of the 5-6 solicitors I contacted were able to do on the same day. David is very genuine, extremely knowledgeable and most importantly confident in whatever he does this in return gave me a lot of faith.
I later searched David on google and realised I had one of the best solicitor's dealing with my case. I highly recommend David, having David represent you is enough to strengthen your case and you will instantly appreciate his approach to achieve for his client instead of making money out of them. Thank you David, you were exceptional! Will be recommending you to our friends and family.

Paul Cramer at Darlingtons represented the developer for a new-build property I purchased. Paul was shockingly bad and he unnecessarily held up my purchase for a number of weeks. He was unresponsive, rude and quite frankly came across as highly incompetent. He did not bother replying to my solicitor's initial enquiries for over two weeks, making excuses that he had missed the emails.
He failed to respond to a number of enquiries on multiple occasions which meant my solicitor had to raise them over and over again causing unnecessary delays. His email responses were also highly unprofessional. I was fortunate enough to have a proactive solicitor who constantly chased him. Avoid him at all costs if he is allocated to your file, it is not worth the stress being left in his poor hands.

I used Darlingtons Solicitors LLP for my purchase of a property. I was a first time buyer and went to auction (leasehold property) which was very daunting but Nichola Bentley helped every step of the way. Started off with a report of the legal documents from the auction, which made it easy to read and understand and helped me make a decisive decision. (She highlighted a clause in the contract which would of made it difficult to get a mortgage, which I was able to get removed prior to auction if I was the succesful bidder.
Could of been costly otherwise) After winning the bid they subsequently helped me through all the other stages to completion ensuring everything was in place. I must of sent her endless emails but she always responded quickly and efficiently and worked quickly to ensure the tight deadline was met. If I ever go through this process again I will definitely come back and I couldn't recommend highly. Thanks Nichola and to your team.

Excellent service and great experience. I was extending the lease of my flat in London and am very pleased with the professionalism and efficiency of Nichola Bentley who was acting on the matter. She always responded very professionally and efficiently when I had any queries. With the complexity of the whole process of the lease extension, I was always given clear details when I asked. From my experience I believe Nichola and the Firm is the best choice to deal with. I definitely would ask Nichola to act again for property or other legal matters.

Excellent service provided - I was very happy with the service Nichola Bentley provided when dealing with the sale of my flat. She was very prompt when responding to emails and the whole sale went through very smoothly and quickly. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone and if in future I move home then I'll definitely contact her again.

I used Darlingtons Solicitors to extend the leasehold on my flat in the UK. Nichola Bentley was extremely efficient and knowledgeable throughout the whole procedure. Her professionalism was very evident, but her friendly manner over the course of many emails also shone through. I am extremely grateful to her for all her work on my behalf.

Darlingtons were outstanding with regards to the sale of my property. Tina Cunningham was an utter delight from beginning to end. She was not only lovely, but was organised, diligent and efficient. She explained everything to me comprehensively and clearly, all the paperwork was dealt with quickly, and she worked extensively with the other party's solicitors to achieve completion in just over a month.
She was only ever a phone call or an email away, she always made time for me, and I felt valued as a client. Tina had the misfortune to deal with my former freeholder. While I was the leaseholder I always dreaded having to deal with them for their unparalleled incompetence. Issues arose which slowed down the sale, but Tina was incredible. In one afternoon she managed to extract information and paperwork from them which I had failed to precure in 18 months. If you are looking for excelence, then Darlingtons must be your choice of solicitor.

They say buying a house is the most stressful time of your life. I can hand on heart say this was so not the case. The team at Darlingtons made the whole process hassle free. My Brother in Law was the one who recommended Darlingtons and they were as he described. You just literally leave them to it. We used James Swede and Tina Cunningham to help us with our house purchase.
My husband and I were First Time Buyers so genuinely had no clue what to expect but Tina really made us feel at ease and was always on hand whenever we needed her. I can honestly say I would highly recommend Darlingtons for anyone looking for a professional set of individuals to handle your affairs with the utmost perfection. I would definitely use them in the future without any hesitation. Thank you Tina & James and the whole Team at Darlingtons.

I was referred to Darlingtons by a friend of mine following the bereavement of my partner. At the time I felt completely overwhelmed and confused as to the procedure in sorting out my partner's estate. I was, therefore, very relieved when Darlingtons took over and gave me the reassurance that I needed. They were very friendly, understanding, informative and kept me updated throughout.
I would like to thank James Swede, David Maxwell, Charlotte Jackson and Debbie Serota who were all involved in handling my case and whose help was invaluable. I would highly recommend Darlingtons and felt that they provided an excellent service, ensuring that the whole process ran smoothly.

Horrible service. Every solicitor assigned to my case vanished after cashing in 2-3 invoices. Finally my case was finalized, with a total cost of 4 times the original quote. also took 3 times as long as they said it would take. Horrible customer service. My solicitor was never reachable per telephone because "she was booked out" for the day, every day. I will be contacting the ombudsman to get my money back with a written formal apology.

I approached Darlingtons feeling very anxious about the position I found myself in. Daniel couldn’t have dealt with matters better. He gave me clear information, all of which was accurate in each detail. He then dealt with a very tricky company on my behalf (including spending lots of time chasing down the relevant people to talk to) and resolved the issue.
This was a time sensitive matter and Daniel was expedient in all aspects of the case. He replied to any questions I had promptly which was very reassuring to me at a stressful time. I have no qualms at all in recommending him and Darlingtons

Tina has been outstanding when I was selling my property and now having been extremely helpful and efficient in my forthcoming purchase, she has always shown me as this has been an extremely stressful time that everything will be ok and she really helped me calm down and be positive that everything will be fine. I have no hesitation if I was to need a solicitor in the future Tina @ Darlingtons would be my number one choice.

Nichola Bentley at Darlingtons Solicitors has deal with the conveyancing aspects of three properties for us over the past five years. Prior to appointing Nichola we used to jump from solicitor to solicitor never quite happy with the service. Nichola is super professional, responsive and has a keen eye for detail. Highly recommended.
