Alexandra Eaton handled my purchase and remortgage for BTL and was absolutely brilliant. Thoughtful, diligent and great communication, Alex kept me informed, covered everything and was a real pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her. Thanks Alex!

We chose ODT for our home sale and purchase after being recommended to us. What a great choice! We were always kept up to date with any queries and questions right up to the welcome phone call telling us that contracts had been exchanged. Everyone at ODT was friendly, sympathetic when appropriate but always professional. Totally recommended.

We couldn't have asked for a better solicitor! Charlie was our solicitor for the purchase of our first home. Although it was overall a very lengthy and painful process due to the incompetence of not 1 but 3 of the vendor's solicitors, Charlie helped us to go through it all. She was extremely diligent and thorough in her approach. There were instances that the vendor's solicitors were trying to cut corners and push us into the exchange (which they had postponed for 9 months already) before important points had been resolved. However, Charlie did not allow this to happen and made sure that everything was done correctly and that we were not put into a vulnerable position. Lastly, her communication and responsiveness with all the involved parties (us, vendor's solicitor, mortgage broker, property agency) was great and on a more personal level she was friendly and polite.

Last year - My husband had dealings with Erica Stock, at first things seemed okay but she dragged her heels with the lease extension of the property which never got completed in time (poor communication, never got an update on the lease extension and failed to inform on the progress and till this date still have no idea) YET she has the cheek to demand for money for her incompetency is a joke). DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SERVICE due to Non responsive service - does not return your calls or emails. over priced!

Waste of money! Very very slow and did not complete her task! Useless and why should we pay for a service that never got completed! There are far better solicitors out there to use who will do a better job.

I was so impressed with ODT Solicitors from start to finish when we purchased a property last week. It was just before the Stamp Duty deadline and our mortgage offer didn't come out until very late. However, ODT went above and beyond to make sure we completed in time. They gave decent advice; were very approachable and extremely efficient. We have used many different solicitors in the past and it was refreshing to have a solicitor that answered the phone and fully represented our best interests. Well done Lawrence and Joelle - I'll be back in touch when I need ODT again!

Excellent, diligent service from Paul Barnes and team - who handled both a lease extension as well as a negligence claim (against another law firm) for me at the same time, in the early part of 2020. All aspects were handled using a (very apparent) wealth of expertise and experience & in both aspects of my case, very favourable commercial outcomes were achieved thanks entirely to Paul's knowledge and straight forward approach. Wholeheartedly recommend ODT & Paul for any such aspects in the future.

We are a property rental/investment company and have been clients of ODT for over 10 years. We have always found ODT solicitors to be competent and capable, most recently we have been using Cheryl Whyte for conveyancing and can't recommend her highly enough. Good natured and amiable with great knowledge and efficiency. She dealt with every issue from a multitude of sales to our satisfaction. Highly recommended.

My wife and I used ODT for both conveyancing and the writing of our wills during our most recent house purchase and I must say that the service we received from Lawrence Gibbons was excellent. His communication was efficient and professional and he was incredibly approachable and friendly. As first time buyers, this would have been a daunting process had he not have spent the time to walk us through all aspects of the purchase, so I am incredibly grateful to him for that. Finally, to top it off, due to the speed at which he worked, we went from making an offer on the property to having the keys in our hands within 6 weeks. I would highly recommend Lawrence and ODT to anyone.

We have recently joined ODT having been let down or over charged by other solicitors in Brighton in the last few years. We were selling a property and needed some legal help, so we went to a local Estate Agent for advice and recommendation [they deal with solicitors all the time]. We were recommended to contact Lawrence Gibbons at ODT, and so we did.

We have now completed the sale of our house, everything went to plan and both parties are pleased. Lawrence offered sound advice at the initial stages, and then saw the project through to completion at the agreed cost. Very pleased with ODT and will be seeing them again soon for other matters as soon as their office redevelopment is complete.
