Flint Bishop Bewertungen 

My buyer sadly got stuck with Sukhy Kandola, who didn’t send any queries to my solicitor for 3 months. Once she finally sent it still took another 3 months to get anywhere near exchanging as she ignored emails for weeks. She would promise to send documents by her own deadlines and miss them by weeks. It’s now been almost 7 months and our completion date has been pushed back at the last minute as documents weren’t sent in time. Appalling couldn’t discourage you anymore to avoid this company like the plague!!

Amazing team of solicitors. We have been working with them for years now, and they never disappoint.

Robin Poole is very prompt with his duties and was always available whenever we had any questions or confusion. He chased the other side effectively and played a key role in helping us conclude the deal smoothly.

Sarah Sargent’s knowledge is commendable. The buyer’s solicitors requested certain documents to complete the transaction, which would have cost us significant time and money, and we were unsure whether they were actually required. Sarah stepped in and firmly clarified that these were not a legal requirement, saving us unnecessary expense.

The team I dealt with (including Sarah and Olivia) were all pleasant, professional and efficient.
They were on hand to respond to queries and despite an issue with the purchasers solicitor, that delayed matters, the all acted swiftly and efficiently.

Richard Buckley from Flint Bishop dealt with mediation between myself and my wife due to going through the divorce procedure. Richard was very good resolving the process efficiently, profesionally, and quickly.
The mediation brought things to satisfactory resolution amicably and fairley.
Would definitly recommend Flint Bishop, and Richard Buckley as the first point as a way forward.

What a useless company.

Been chasing me for a dept from British gas for over a year that they know is totally wrong.
Both flint bishop and British gas are refusing to deal with the issue.

I put in 3 SAR ( SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST) to flint bishop over 3 months and they have fail to provide it.

Now flint bishop are now refusing to deal with it and won't let me speak to a manager or supervisor about it.

I spoke to Ali Kherellah who is a supervisor about this in December 2025, he is now refusing to contact me about it??

I spoke to another supervisor called Mohamme iliyas who also failed to deal with it or contact me back. He has now left the company.

I even tried to contact the CEO Qumer Ghafoor about why no complaints has been dealt with or this issue is still ongoing. But they refused to contact me.
I did speak to his personal assistant who promised to contact me back. They also did not contact me back and actually blocked me from contacting them!!!

I phoned today to find out about my complaints that I've been told are still open, but today I've been told they won't deal with them any more!!!!!

So multiple compliments are still not dealt with and are now left unanswered!!!

They even blocked my number to contact them whilst still pursuing an incorrect dept.

What a bunch of bullies they are.

Nasty nasty nasty useless company that likes to threaten people then refuses to deal with the consciences.

UPDATE
----------

Flint Bishop just sent a request to remove this as they believe its for another business.
They must be joking.
I've probably spoken to nearly everyone in the 2 call centers that I gave numbers for including supervisors and PA to the CEO. they know exactly who I am. What a joke.

REALLY!!!!!!

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Jacqueline Byrd and her assistant, Jade Brumpton, during the conveyancing process for the sale of myfather's property.

The transaction involved additional complexity because I was acting under a Lasting Power of Attorney, which required extra documentation, including certification of origin documents and other formal verifications. Despite these additional requirements, Jacqueline handled everything with professionalism, clarity, and patience, ensuring that each stage of the process was explained and managed efficiently. Partway through the transaction, Jacqueline’s previous firm closed. This situation was completely outside of her control, yet it could easily have caused disruption or uncertainty. However, I was able to track her down when she moved to a new firm, and I specifically chose to continue working with her because of the trust and confidence she had already established. I am very glad that I did.
Throughout the process, Jacqueline and Jade were consistently helpful, responsive, and supportive. Their communication was clear, and they dealt with what could have been a stressful and complicated sale with professionalism and care.

As a small token of my appreciation for their hard work and dedication, I sent flowers to both Jacqueline and Jade to thank them for the excellent support they provided throughout the process.

I would not hesitate to recommend them.

We have decided to 'REVERT' back to Flintbishop with our review of how we found they handled the conveyancing of our property sale. We say 'REVERT' as Beth loved using that particular word and using it here will hopefully bring a smile to her face. Overall we were very pleased with Flint Bishop, initially we found contact with Beth a little frustrating as she would only message us just before she finished for the day and this we found was too late incase we needed to ellicit a further response from her. However, as time went on in the conveyancing process, Beth proved how proffesional, patient and competent she was especially as our buyers were first time buyers and the process was not made easy by their naivety. Beth is a credit to Flint Bishop and we wish her well in her future career, and would like to thank the rest of the team there who were involved in our conveyancing and turning our dream of living by the coast into a reality.

We chose Flint Bishop solicitors, Derby for our conveyancing needs. They responded to our initial contact with a quick and competitive quote, followed by allocation to Lauren Briddon soon after instructed in mid December 2025. This has been an emotionally difficult time in that we were selling our late mothers property. Lauren and the team supporting her, were professionally efficient, communicated well and were approachable throughout. Their experience and attention to detail, enabled the conveyancing process to proceed without ‘drifting’, through to a smooth and positive conclusion which was really appreciated.

Our solicitors closed with no notice 5 days before completion of our property sale. Lauren Briddon picked the file up and managed to get the whole chain back on track in time for the agreed completion date. It was an epic effort and saved the whole chain a lot of grief and stress. I would highly recommend this company in terms of communication and professionalism. Thank you Lauren!

Flint Bishop took on a case from Octopus Energy without carrying out even the most basic due diligence. Octopus Energy decided that because my company shares a PO Box address with countless others, they could randomly assign debts from entirely unrelated companies to mine.

This false information was then passed to Flint Bishop, who repeated the same failure. A simple check on Companies House would have shown that no person connected to my company has any link whatsoever to the company they are attempting to pursue. Instead, they chose to harass a completely unrelated business rather than verify their facts.

Anyone else having similar issues, complain to the FCA. Search FCA Contact as a consumer, and your query is Consumer Credit > Debt Recovery.

Also make a complaint to the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the whole team for the excellent service provided in the sale of my late father’s house.

As I live in Austria and the property is in the UK, I expected the process to be complex and potentially stressful. However, from start to finish, everything was handled extremely smoothly and with the utmost professionalism.

Communication was clear, timely, and reassuring throughout, and I always felt fully informed and confident that the matter was in safe hands. The efficiency and attention to detail made what could have been a difficult experience remarkably straightforward.

I would not hesitate to recommend your firm and am very grateful for the support and professionalism shown throughout the process.

When asked if I had any other health issues, I told the advisor that I am Autistic, and he replies telling me "I can understand that".
Seems like a snarky comment about me being Autistic, based on the conversation we were having.

This company works on behalf of British Gas chasing bills. Problem is they don't have a clue, very rude, aggressive and intimidating.
I have been contacted previously by this company when the bill has been paid directly to British Gas and they still keep chasing - just to ensure they get their payment from British Gas. Anyway they are causing British Gas to have a very bad reputation and customers to move on and find alternative sjuppliers.

Carla and Beth were friendly, efficient and professional throughout the sale process of my house. Many thanks.

Very disappointing experience.
I was contacted and asked to pay money that I do not owe. I have never signed a contract, agreed to any services, or authorised any charges with this firm.
Instead of clear explanations, I received payment demands without proper evidence.
This has caused unnecessary stress and wasted time. I would not recommend this firm based on my experience.

Absolutely atrocious. Took 17 days to respond to an email offering settlement then gave me 7days from 30th Dec to 6th Jan to reply supplying evidence when most avenues were closed. Now sending threatening emails even though my balance is zero. Unprofessional, unnecessary intimidatory, deliberately harassing tactics.

I am currently dealing with Flint Bishop regarding an alleged British Gas debt. My experience has been a masterclass in how to try and intimidate a consumer without having the actual paperwork to back it up.
​Here is their playbook, based on my case:
​The Threat: They threaten a CCJ for a substantial amount for a period dating back years.
​The Stall: When I legally requested the Contract and Default Notice (under CPR 31.14), they couldn't provide it. They admitted they were "seeking instructions" from their client.
​The "Glitch": When pressed for the evidence, I received emails with attachments that were either "corrupt," "fake," or simply spinning wheels that wouldn't load. It appears they are trying to "tick a box" to say they sent documents, without actually having them.
​They seem to rely on people being too scared to fight back. When you actually apply forensic scrutiny to their claims—checking dates, requesting signed contracts, and cross-referencing suppliers (I was with another supplier for part of the claimed period)—their case falls apart.
​My advice to anyone receiving a letter from them: Do not ignore it, but do NOT just pay it out of fear. Demand "Strict Proof." Demand the signed contract. Check the dates. In my experience, when you shine a light on their evidence, there is nothing there but administrative errors and bluffing.

Robin who dealt with the conveyancing was helpful all way through the process answering any questions or concerns I had and giving suggestions as to what was next going to happen.So I just waited for the next contact from him and at the completion stage he kept me and my brother up to date with how things were going up too the actual completion

My buyers solicitor, recommended by their estate agent. I’ve worked in the housing industry (estate agency & new homes sector) for over 4 decades. When I heard that a panel solicitor (that’s what agents call them, a selection of solicitors the agents use) I groaned, my seller groaned and their agent groaned because we all knew that the process was going to be slow and painful, yet so unnecessary.
There are 4 people in my chain. The top being moved out of their property for two months now. Our searches took the standard 5 days to arrive with our solicitors, mortgage offers, only three remember, arrived a week to ten days from application.
With that in mind, those items all being back a few weeks from the sale being agreed (23/09). Enquiries weren’t looked at until 23/12, the day solicitors go into Christmas shut down.
The rest of the chain had progressed to contracts signed and sat waiting in December for the panel solicitor to catch up.
My buyer was told by this lot that they would not look at her file until they’d dealt with their December completions! The chain were discussing a completion date of 19th December we should’ve been a December completion! This lot had told my buyer in October that this process would take 6 months to complete! On their website they advertise the usual 8-12 weeks conveyancing time, can be done in as little as 2,4,6 weeks if you remember a solicitor works for you and not the other way round.

Now I mentioned panel, when you use a solicitor that your agents point you towards, telling you it will make it easier, DON’T, just walk away and find your own solicitor. A panel solicitor looks at your file once a month, they diary note you, they aren’t proactive because your case is easy money, they get business from the agent, the agent gets a kick back from the solicitor for the business. They work to their own agenda not yours.

After being satisfied by answers to the enquiries 13/01, I am being told that they are not sending out the contract for my buyer to sign until next week (w/c 19/01) and this will be done by donkey aka Royal Mail. But, not until they have sent out the property pack, by post.
How they have worked in this chain has impacted greatly on peoples lives and they are not bothered, weeks to live, not bothered, passed away, don’t get to see your new home, not bothered. The attitude is antiquated and disgusting.
Three other solicitors in this chain dealt with lots of other property sales yet still got us to a position to be able to exchange and complete in December.
But this bunch, don’t even use email.
We are still not exchanged, still have no end date and still losing our sanity, ready to throw it all in and stay put. They don’t care.

DO NOT USE IF VIA AN ESTATE AGRNT RECOMMENDATION.
REMEMBER YOUR SOLICITOR ACTS FOR YOU, YOU HAVE INSTRUCTED THEM TO DO A JOB TO YOUR TIME AND NOT THEIRS.
