Grant Saw Solicitors LLP Reviews 

I can't say I was ever given any confidence that I would get my property back. It seemed all rather a wave of negativity and I further got the impression-rightly or wrongly-geared to drag matters out. There didn't seem any great impetus either, save when bills were issued! It all seemed like a waste of £2000 I'm afraid. I hesitate to think what the final sum might have been....

This is an update on my review of Grant Saw Solicitors. This has been delayed,partly due to Trustpilot checks etc.

I was thoroughly duped by these two persons.even the two specialist solicitors at SA law, found it stupefying that they could have done this.
He talks about bankruptcy, so what ?. This had occurred some years prior. I have rights too, this doesn’t allow them to treat me as fair game. He’s trying to maintain the cover-up and to deflect attention from their duties.
The biggest irony here is that the actions -or inactions , of these two persons contributed greatly to my financial misery and insecurity thereafter.
Does he understand what a Conveyancing solicitor should do, and not do??…Seems not. He needs to answer that in his response to this post.
He thinks 20 years would just exonerate him and this so-called conveyancing solicitor from blame.
Read further about the behaviour of this person, and you will understand why this has had a lingering effect on me.

What people need to understand here is that these people were Grossly Negligent in this matter ( and that’s not me saying this but the experienced solicitors at SA LAW). If they were knowledgeable and qualified all this would have been avoided, but they were NOT. he ignores that they failed to follow basic legal procedures such as, a requirement for a COURT ORDER in order for me to leave the house.
What about the money that they took into their own coffers(from the house sale), when it was dispensed . Will he explain what he did with it?
It was the vendor’s solicitor who found the restriction,NOT Grant Saw. When this was found and explained to me I told them immediately to STOP, repeat STOP the sale. She failed to do that and instead did something that no other solicitor in the land would do-which is what led to this horrible situation. I will explain here further info which will give more background to this.
This matter created a situation of further debt, and financial misery, loss of a roof over my head, not to mention the loss of confidence and stigma that followed me after.
Yes, it has taken this amount of time for me to handle the injustice of this matter. But this is more than just about losing a house……it is about malice towards me, ineptitude ,spitefulness, hostility , and yet, I never did a thing to them to deserve this!
• In response to his statement that I didn’t sue them. I had no money, it would have cost a few thousand to take this matter through a Court. This is the unreality that this man displays. I wonder what planet he is living on ?
• He sat inches away from me, telling me that there was nothing they could do to stop the sale
• I witnessed him in that meeting berating, scolding and reprimanding her for what she did to make contact with the OR, without any permission.
• Bigotry and prejudice: The Lawyers at SA law only understood half of the story. I had bigotry and prejudice directed at me by this person. “…Where did you get the money to buy the house…?” She barked out in an interrogatory manner. I was so stunned at this comment. ( I worked hard and honestly for this house !)
• When I requested the file for SA law, she had written (in red ink) comments which were disparaging towards me. What Conveyancing solicitor in this land behaves like this …???
• I got hauled into the local Police station, under threat of arrest. She had winded up the vendor with stories of me being made bankrupt( a lie, as that had occurred some years prior). He opened a number of my letters which had come to that house and I had to respond harshly to him.
People will find this stuff hard to believe but I state facts here, not fabrications.
The amount of stress and fear these people created was considerable. She displayed disturbing and frightening behaviour. and yet they were totally ignorant of legal basics.
Apparently they knew nothing of the consequences to me of leaving the house. They had no clue about the upheaval in my life created by this. It affected me mentally for a long while as well as leaving me financially depleted for a period. I would be lying if I said this did not still affect me today.

From their website, it appears that She is now the head of Conveyancing for them……you just couldn’t make this up !!!
She should have been dismissed immediately and disciplinary action taken. That is what would have happened in any legitimate legal practice.
————I want to thank Trustpilot for offering me the opportunity to post my story on this platform. It has really helped me to heal this episode of my life.

I explained to a mutual contact that I needed a new Will to be drafted and completed within in a tight 2-week time-frame as I had a recent significant change in my circumstances and was about to spend some months abroad. I asked for a recommendation for this task and confirmed my email address.

Within a couple of hours Adelaine Nietzold of Grant Saw Solicitors in SE3 sent me an email explaining the process, fees and next steps and offered to meet me at a local, mutually convenient space as my mobility is compromised and visiting the Blackheath office in its busy location would be problematic for me. In her email she explained the items we would discuss which enabled me to prepare, in advance, a document with answers to these questions.

We organised a time to meet a few days later and Adelaine asked questions, took notes, answered my questions and explained options. The next day I thought of a slight amendment to the items we discussed and this was included in the draft Will which I received within a couple of days. A couple of days later my new draft Will arrived with supporting documents. I advised of a couple of spelling amendments and we met to sign the amended Will on that same day.

From first meeting to signing the Will took 5 working days and although this short time-frame is likely not typical I put time into being thorough with providing and checking information and Adelaine was similarly quick and thorough. I was able to go abroad knowing the task was complete.

I highly recommend this excellent service with its responsive customer care.

They would finished the job within a week. They would try to help you & guide you. Friendly & Efficiency!

We found Grant Saw through the Alzheimer's Society for setting up our elderly parents' last Wills. From the initial email through to finalizing all details, Adelaine Nietzold (solicitor) was invaluable in getting everything done swiftly and clearly. Adelaine responded to our emails and questions promptly, explaining in non-jargon language that we could understand and relay to our parents, and guiding us through each step of the process. We have finally got our parents' Wills after years of attempting to do so, which is a massive relief for them. If not for Adelaine's professional yet personable approach, this would have taken much longer.

Additionally, we wanted to thank Janice Connolly for going above and beyond to show kindness and care for our parents when they visited the Grant Saw office. Janice assisted our mother when she was feeling unwell and went out of her way to make her comfortable. This level of client support is something we sincerely appreciate and will remember. Our parents were deeply touched by the care shown.

Used Michelle in Blackheath for our house conveyancing, she was absolutely on top of the detail, chased things up for us and generally went the extra mile. Great service, thank you.

One of the most unprofessional solicitors I have ever had the mishap of dealing with utter shambles. the woman doesn't listen, is combative and laughs down the phone

We instructed Grant Saw for our house purchase in 2022. Deborah was great to work with; good communication and sorted out any queries we had.
We'd use Deborah and Grant Saw again for conveyancing. Thanks.

In my opinion, very poor and very slow.

Making A Will

My wife and I approached Grant Saw to make our wills because my mother, aged 90, has been a customer of the firm for many years.
Our solicitor was Sarah Conner. Sarah and her excellent colleague Sue made swift arrangements for our first visit to her offices in Blackheath during the third lockdown, taking into account our own work schedules. Upon our arrival we received a warm welcome within the constraints of government advice.
Sarah listened to our requirements asking relevant questions to ensure her understanding was correct. She has a rare gift of being able to project friendliness and enthusiasm whilst retaining a business-like efficiency which quickly reassured us. Her advice was practical and very helpful to us. The subsequent e-correspondence was conducted similarly for which were grateful. The wills are now done. Thanks to Sarah the entire process was much quicker than we thought it would be.
I am already recommending Sarah Connor to my friends.

I have bought and sold houses and flats a number of times over the years but I have never had a conveyancing solicitor as good as Maria Lati at Grant Saw. She was always ahead of the game, always returned emails and phone calls and dealt with any problems efficiently. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

This solicitors was highly recommended to me after a terrible time with a previous solicitors. I changed to Mike Clary at Grant Saw in Greenwich at a crucial stage of my probate battle. Mike successfully assisted me in concluding a dispute over a contested will and defending my mother's estate. Mike and the entire team have been professional, sympathetic and have gone above and beyond with my case. Turning an extremely stressful situation into a much calmer and informed process while we completed this process over my legal battle with my own sister. Mike was amazing and explained everything to me and was patient and professional at all times while I was struggling to get my information from the solicitors before them that I had to sack for misconduct. Grant Saw are outstanding at what they do and I would not hesitate to use them again for legal matters. Really happy with my outcome and support during and after my case. Massive thank you to Mike Clary and all the team... keep up the good work....
