SOLICITOR COMMUNICATION
I have been in regular contact with my solicitor, who has requested photos and information relating to home disrepairs by my landlord. He has advised me accordingly, regarding acceptance of an offer made by my landlord. Recommending my acceptance of this offer, rather than go to court. He further advised me that the offer was a once & only offer & suggested I accept, as I may NOT win a court decision.
A representative from Driscoll Kingston & Co Limited responded to this review on 04 June, 2025:
Thank you for your feedback, Hilda. We're glad Lee kept you well-informed and provided clear, practical advice to help you make the best decision.

An absolute joke of a so called solicitors.
They took on my case 3 years ago. After I had mould, blown windows and a leak and many various other things my landlord didn't fix. Even when I started the claim I sent videos of this leak still happening and leaking through my light in the kitchen. And proof that not all things were fixed according to the landlord.
The day before court they suggested that I settle or I would be charged for the barrister.
In this settlement I was awarded £0.00 after 3 years of stress with the landlord and this company not even 1p.
I did kind of get the feeling these guys were cowboys from the start and wouldn't get a lot.
But come on nothing?
So now I'm left with nothing but stress.
As I'm going to have to contact the landlord to actually get the jobs done.
Sure that's what they were meant to do?
Funny how there fees are paid and I'm pretty much were I was when I started the claim.
So if your thinking about using these cowboys I would think again and just go to the ombudsman.
Even if you don't get a settlement at least they will make sure the job is done unlike this so called professionals.
Had to give them 1* as they don't have a 0 and trust me they are not worth the 1.
