CDS Mayfair Anmeldelser 

I had a very positive experience working with CDS Mayfair on my property. They were clear, responsive, and professional throughout, which made the process feel much more manageable. Communication was consistent, and I didn’t feel left chasing updates.

Overall, a reliable choice for London property legal work—I’d be happy to use them again.

We’ve worked with CDS Mayfair over the past year and have consistently found them to be a pleasure to deal with. Their team combines strong technical expertise with a highly responsive and pragmatic approach, making collaboration straightforward and efficient.

They communicate clearly, deliver on time, and bring a level of professionalism that instils confidence throughout every interaction. It’s clear they genuinely care about the quality of their work and the relationships they build.

A reliable and impressive firm that we would happily recommend.

Lena was my solicitor through my first house purchase. She was so efficient with everything from start to finish making it a seamless process with her! She’s was truly amazing throughout and was always there if I had any questions, she never hesitated to help me! I would 1 million percent recommend her to anyone who needs a genuinely lovely, very professional and trustworthy solicitor!
Thank you so much!

Before you even consider instructing CDS Mayfair, read this twice — carefully:
My experience relates specifically to working with Elena Tsirlina, who is the Head of the Immigration Department at CDS Mayfair.
I paid more than £85,000 in legal fees for services connected with my immigration and human rights matters. My subsequent complaint resulted in a final decision by the Legal Ombudsman, which awarded me £50,000, the maximum available remedy.
The issues I raised included the handling of an application to the European Court of Human Rights, documents submitted to the court in my name which I dispute having authorised, and the disclosure of highly sensitive personal information concerning my family and my minor children.
In its final decision, the Legal Ombudsman recognised the seriousness of the consequences for my family, including the severe psychological impact on my children.
Based on my experience, I strongly encourage any potential clients considering instructing Elena Tsirlina or CDS Mayfair to carry out very careful due diligence before doing so.
Potential clients may also wish to review regulatory findings concerning CDS Mayfair, including disciplinary action reported in the legal press in August 2023, when the firm was fined more than £23,000 following findings linked to Solicitors Regulation Authority compliance requirements.

Lena and Mita helped me sell my property and purchase the next. Prompt replies, excellent communication throughout the process. They had my best interests at heart- even more than I did myself. Highly recommend.

My wife and I were referred to CDS Mayfair by Foxtons, and from the very beginning, we knew we were in good hands. We genuinely haven’t regretted the decision to choose them as our lawyers for helping to buy our first home

Rahima, in particular, has been absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process. She’s shown remarkable diligence, patience, and attention to detail — even when things became quite complicated (the process lasted longer than we hoped it would, but it wouldve been even longer without CDS + Foxtons, who’ve shown versatility and ability to seek compromise). Rahima’s professionalism and persistence here were second to none, and she always took the time to jump on a call and explain every step in plain English, which made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable . We’re genuinely grateful for her hard work and calm reassurance along the way.

A special thanks as well to Lauren and the wider CDS Mayfair team for their support and responsiveness throughout. It’s rare to find a firm that combines such professionalism with a genuinely caring approach. We couldn’t recommend CDS Mayfair more highly

My partner and I used CDS when purchasing our first home and were appointed Lena Abdali as our solicitor. Lena was always prompt, easy to reach and always quick to respond. As first time buyers, we really appreciated how clearly she explained everything, making the whole process far less daunting. Lena kept us updated throughout and genuinely fought our corner on more than one occasion when dealing with difficult sellers (and subsequently pulling out of our first purchase!)

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’d highly recommend both Lena and CDS to anyone, and we’ll definitely be using the again in the future when we move.

As a family we have worked with CDS previously on other purchases and we were happy to instruct them once more. In this instance our experience with Lena was of the highest quality, she was knowledgeable, professional and at all times was making sure she was taking care of us, her customer. We will definitely come back to work with Lena with no hesitation.

We had a wonderful experience with Keena Patel and CDS Mayfair as solicitors regarding a successful and timely transaction. As a first time buyer, we were new to the process and required lot of handholding. Also, since the property had EWS issues, we needed extra documentation. I highly recommend Keena and CDS for their services.

I've had a great experience working with CDS Mayfair, particularly with Rahima and Keena. They have been extremely professional and consistently responsive, keeping me informed and solving my queries throughout the process. Excellent service. Highly recommended!

Eleni Georgiou at CDS Mayfair represented me for the purchase of a property I bought at auction. Despite the time pressure to complete her consistent professionalism and reassurance was incredible. I look forward to working with her and CDS in the future.

Very professional and on time throughout the whole process.
Whenever anything was needed, Hamilton was there immediately and dealt with it quickly.
Communication was rapid, clear, and professional at all times.
If you work with Hamilton, expect results and a very smooth process from start to finish.
I would definitely recommend him and we will be using Hamilton again in the future.

Our business needed to go through a demerger process, which was a long and extremely complex process, involving solicitor’s and accountants. Hamilton at CDS Mayfair did an excellent and efficient job in managing this and he kept me updated through throughout. I would highly recommend Hamilton and CDS Mayfair.

We had an excellent experience working with Mr. Hamilton Li at CDS Mayfair. He supported us with agreements, company documentation, and filings, and was consistently thorough, professional, and detail-focused.

Hamilton was highly accessible and took the time to refine multiple drafts, ensuring they were aligned with our commercial objectives while strengthening key safeguards for the business.

Highly recommended for any business seeking reliable legal support delivered to a high standard.

Mita Begum did a great job in helping through all the various stages to completion in selling my property. Thank you Mita

Very responsive and always very helpful with any questions.
Process done quickly and professionally.
Cannot fault!

Rahima Islam and her team did an excellent job for my wife and I when we sold our London apartment. It was not a straightforward sale, and she navigated the process very well. Very professional. We would certainly utilise Rahima again in the future.

Eleni was outstanding throughout. Her communication was clear, reliable, and helpful — she explained the complexities of the legal process well. As a first‑time buyer, I found her guidance particularly valuable. I’ll definitely be using CDS Mayfair again!

Louise Waltham was absolutely brilliant handling both the sale of my old home, and the purchase of my new one. Calm, sharp, and always on it — exactly what you want when buying and selling a house, and investing your life savings!

Total confidence, zero stress and maximum trust. I couldn’t recommend Louise more highly.

THANKS A MILLION!!! 😊

Eleni and Mita assisted with getting another 2 transactions over the line. Seamless and efficient. Couldn't recommend CDS any more. Thank you.
