What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Peter Dunn & Co is repeatedly described by clients as a firm where clear explanation and personal attention shape the whole matter, from the first enquiry through to completion. Named staff recur throughout the feedback, with Alexandra Tindale, Chloe Conway Hind, Ann-Marie Lee, Andrew Tilbury, Susan and Laura each singled out for the care they brought to estates, house sales, family matters and Lasting Power of Attorney work.

Customers in several reviews describe how quickly emails and calls were answered, and how documents arrived without prompting, which reviewers tie directly to purchases moving ahead without hitches. In matters involving a deceased relative, the same theme of empathy returns, with kindness and patience mentioned alongside technical handling of probate and the subsequent sale of a property. Clients also note that advice felt dependable when other firms had stepped back at short notice, and that complicated files were seen through with patience.

One thing mentioned again and again is the absence of complications, with processes described as seamless from start to finish, and staff making themselves available for questions at every stage. Andrew Tilbury's guidance is called invaluable, Chloe Conway Hind's responsiveness is praised for helping a couple secure their home, and Ann-Marie Lee's handling of a Power of Attorney is recalled for its professionalism and approachability.

Been dealing with different solicitors for the past 20 years I've never came across any solicitor as bad as t Peter Dunn Sunderland office! They asked for undertaking fee from my solicitor as a seller. Paid them then they came back to us saying they would need the undertaking from the buyers solicitor. So they paid them as well which means Peter Dunn got paid twice! Yet 6 months later the deal has not been done and every time I try to talk to them they say the solicitor that deals with the case either on holiday or not in the office! Worst experience.

Unfortunately the worst experience I’ve ever had with solicitors, seemed disinterested from the start, really would have been better if they just said “this is not for us “ wasted six months, takes weeks to respond , very frustrating on top of an already distressing situation . Terminated contract and they don’t even ask why. Contacted another Sunderland firm of solicitors, breath of fresh air ! More done in two weeks than in last 6 months.

Ann-Marie Lee dealt with My Mam's Lasting Power of Attorney. She was very professional and approachable and answered any queries we had very promptly and the process was seamless . I would definitely recommend Ann-Marie .

Alexandra was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. I can't fault her professionalism, communication and speed at which documents were delivered and completed. It made the process of buying my home a breeze. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
