Having never been in this situation before I found myself needing legal advice to ensure what I have been doing was correct and to obtain knowledge of how things would progress.
Leah from BG Solicitors LLP gave me just the advice and reassurance I needed. She was clear and precise with what to expect and gave valuable knowledge on the court proceedings that would take place. Thank you Leah, you certainly stopped my sleepless nights.

I would like to express our sincere thanks to Emma Hudson and Brad Whiteley at BG Solicitors in Grimsby. It was always going to be a fraught transaction due to the timescale that we had to work to. In addition to this, the onerous requirements of other parties. However Emma was calm and persevered to enable a successful completion on the deadline. Thankyou so much.
A representative from Bg Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 07 April, 2025:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Karl! We’re delighted to hear that Emma and Brad were able to guide you through what sounds like a challenging transaction with calmness and perseverance.

Your gratitude means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Thankyou for your time and advice, my time and your advice cost myself 300.00, it was myself who asked about set aside, i did ask if there was any other route , any other form /document i did mentoin a number for a document , it was the wrong number , the number for your own reference if you get asked the question is form 245, it allows the defendent to ask the judge to look at the claimants subject and reveiw , allow myself to make a affordable payment plan, this i have done , cost is 15.00 pounds, big difference to 300.00 pounds. maybe more training is required.

Leah has been absolutely amazing while supporting me on our case. I was kept in the loop with everything that was happening once there was an update and always asked for my opinion and what I wanted to do. Leah has been professional throughout and I can’t praise her enough. I am so happy with the final outcome and it’s down to Leah’s support, guidance and reassurance throughout.
Thank you so much for everything!

We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional service we received from Helen and her team during our house moves. She goes above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, always keeping our best interests at heart. I never felt the need to ask for updates because I knew she would let us know as soon as there was news, which took a huge amount of stress off our shoulders. Helen was always one step ahead, completely on top of our file, and knew exactly what was happening at all times.
Helen has also managed my previous purchases and sales, and I wouldn’t choose anyone else. Her communication, dedication, and proactive approach make such a difference during an already challenging process. I highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for a solicitor who truly goes the extra mile. Thank you again for everything!
A representative from Bg Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 03 March, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words, David. We’re delighted to hear that Helen and her team provided such a seamless and proactive service during your house moves. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we’re pleased we could make the process as stress-free as possible.

A house move is potentially the most stressful time of our lives. Trying to beat the labour deadline for an increase in stamp duty just triples that. But Helen Kent and her team, phenomenal. I had a hiccup at the start where I missed some paperwork requests, but that was no problem at all. You chased me, and everyone involved and ensured we were in time for the deadline, and kept me in the loop right up until I had the keys in my hand. Thanks so much!

What an unprofessional mess, very rude staff, and are not at all polite to clients or people they deal with, a shame but embarrassing for them that’s for sure, learn how to talk to people.

TERRIBLE. Avoid this firm. Unhelpful and unresponsive staff who don't even follow their own formal complaints procedure, and when they do, only say what they need to to cover their backs if the SRA got involved. I was given a new solicitor and didn't even know their name for 2 and a half months, it wasn't until I mentioned pulling out of the sale that they got in touch. Weird! The negative reviews do not lie.

BG Solicitors is one of the oldest established practices in Grimsby, set up by the late Mr Tom Beetenson on 1st January 1944. He was joined in 1953 by Lawrence Gibbon and their initials still remain as the name of our firm. Since those early days, the Practice has grown steadily and is now one of the largest and most respected in the area. Our clients, both private and commercial, demand a first-class legal service, and through our commitment to quality standards throughout all areas of the practice, we ensure that’s exactly what they receive. The original BG base in Grimsby remains our largest office space, occupying a convenient central location with excellent access to public transport as well as nearby parking. In 2007 we incorporated the business and staff of Louth based Scammell & Braithwaite into BG Solicitors LLP and acquired our first satellite office. The merging of this well-respected firm into our own means that we now have a central Louth office, serving the needs of not only the local Louth clients but also those from the many surrounding villages.
