Incredibly unprofessional firm. Caused a month delay after they waited until completion day to raise further enquiries which were completely unnecessary! read more

Our review of Gordons is as follows: 1. Completing on a non-complex property took nearly 6 months, with no proper reasons given other than that they were "busy". Getting through to them on the phone was impossible (I was always 13 or 15 inline), their solicitors were slow to respond to emails, and sometimes sought to charge more money despite working for a fixed price. Some of their approach is seriously questionable in terms of honesty. 2. Despite completing in late April 2021, the solicitor never ensured that the charges were removed from the property - so we couldn't re-mortgage. This then took close to another 6 months to clear!! This cost us a LOT of money! 3. We raised complaints, including taking it to the Managing Director. At all material times there was a lack of concern or empathy to our issues, no real interest in dealing with the complaint, constant arguing about irrelevant matters. To that end, it seems their management team are as bad as the solicitors. 4. When we threatened to sue, we placed a series of deadlines for Gordons to meet in terms of Settlement (without dragging them to Court) - each and every deadline was MISSED, despite being clear that failure to meet deadlines would have result in Court proceedings against them. 5. Finally, after months of arguing, wrangling and an attempts at a war of attrition - they finally paid our damages in part as a form of a settlement. This is despite their original claim that the matter was going to litigation solicitors and insurers, etc, etc. So, after nearly 15 months later, the saga has concluded. All told, Gordon's lack of professionalism and negligence easily cost my business around £15K - we have been able to recoup SOME of that from the settlement - but it won't cover entirety of the substantial damage Gordons has done to our business. My advice is stay well clear. If we had have had just service issues and the complaint handled in an exemplary way, I may have a different attitude. But the WHOLE thing has been a constant battle and not worth it. read more

would not recommend at all - reckless with timings and managing chains, incredibly slow by going home early and never responding to emails. Avoid at all costs. read more

There a SHAMBLES I brought 2 titles... There a SHAMBLES I brought 2 titles paid all my money and then 5 weeks later I was approached by a man asking what I was doing on his land called Gordons solicitors they will never talk on the phone its all most impossible to get to talk to a solicitor then find out that I don't own both titles I only own one!! and that had a charge restriction on it that they never told me about however this im being told we be removed and the restriction was from the same man that approached us.. still fighting to get anywhere with them they say its not there problem they have done everything they can and I need to sue the sellers solicitors!!!! I call the director every day (come on they taken my money and left me right in a bankruptcy state i think they failed to represent me correctly would you agree) imagine buying a property that you don't own! Imagine collecting your keys then being told you have no right over it I constantly email and ring we are in a desperate state and don't know what we are going to do this is all true I can't believe what they have done and how they treated us Honestly Honestly wish I was never pushed in to using them its been the worst service and till now the worst thing that's ever happened in our lives its an absolute nightmare its a disgrace how they have treated us We have paid out over hundreds of thousands of pounds for something we don't own! Good luck if you use them I hope you never have to endure the mayhem we are still going through. someone needs to do something to company's like this Date of experience: 03 March 2023 read more

This companies service is disgusting....just spoken to the case handler who has freely admitted that a re-mortgage has not completed because he just cant get round to it ????. Everything they needed has been in place for some 3 weeks ??? Now having to re apply for further redemption statements. Chris Gordon who has overall responsibility and supervises the department is not contactable, the case handler refuses to disclose his email address....now in the process of a formal complaint for what use it will do...avoid if possible read more

Check out other online reviews - you'll get the picture, it's a company to avoid. I'm trying not to scream in frustration at using Gordon's property lawyers for a straight forward remortgage, following the recommendation from my building society. Ther person I've been allocated avoids every call I make (which is daily currently) she doesn't answer any of my questions when I try email, I instead get an incoherent blank response. They don't open 1st class letters I've sent them for well over a week and instead blame the post service. They have absolutely no regard for customer service - they are AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. Try your local conveyencer instead, or even Premier Property Lawyers if you don't mind a call centre and want a cheaper alternative - my experiences there are so much better. read more

Do not use these people. For a simple remortgage they have been absolutely awful from start to finish. They do not answer calls, do not answer emails. They have dragged out this remortgage to 6-7 months!!! It's disgusting! There is no transparency, they throw fees at you on an ad-hoc basis and the communication is absolutely awful. Use them at your own risk, the rest of the reviews sum up my exact experience. read more

This firm was nominated as part of my package to remortgage my house. I wish I had read the reviews first, because they were very poor. On their web site they have reviews from a few, In truth the reviews that were from independent websites were the more accurate. They were truly awful and when I tried to get some action and speak to them, I got nowhere. I complained and got no where. I strongly suggest you do not use this firm read more

Awful. The worst property lawyer I have ever dealt with. - they consistently wrote to the wrong address. They were corrected twice. The neighbour to whom they sent all the documentation works for the British Antarctic Survey and was away for 2 months! - even after correcting them twice, they still sent the balancing cheque last week to the wrong address ! - they took ages to answer the phone - every time - in some cases I was in a queue for an hour and then the call died. - they consistently misunderstood the nature of the deal despite it being explained repeatedly - and hence they completely messed up the final transaction costing us £400 in additional interest - the manager we eventually spoke to was really unhelpful and rude in her response read more

Appaling!!! Avoid at all costs. What an absolute nightmare: slow, inefficient, uncommunicative, poor procedures, dreadful online portal, really poor attitude. I could go on. Kyle Allbrighton was our case handler - God help anyone who gets this little bundle of incompetence. Just a horrible, horrible company to deal with. read more

1 star is too much, 2 months and they still playing with my remortgage through the Natwest. They only Mail on a Friday and are shut at weekends, hidden fees are horrendous I feel I am paying out every week couple hundred pound. The mailings are so confusing and the questionnaires. Let's not forget the backwards and forwards of proof of identity which is a joke because they dribble questionnaires out to you. But don't take my word for it do a simple google search and look at the thousands of others that say they wouldn't use them EVER read more

I used Gordons Property Lawyers for a simple remortgage on a recommendation from my mortgage broker. Their initial quotes seemed very good and I decided to go with them over a high street lawyer I had good experiences with previously simply because their price was so low - I soon realised this was a big mistake. Gordons are a large call centre operation and you are assigned a "fee earner" who is your point of contact. Mine was difficult to get hold of and seemed to have little legal knowledge. I spent countless hours chasing things up over a 3 month period for what should have been a simple transaction. Throughout the process it was impossible to get an accurate quote of what my final fees were going to be, until they had been charged from my completion funds without notice or my approval. The final fee was over four times their initial quote and significantly more than my high street lawyer had honestly quoted me. To add insult to injury they had charged a large "referral" fee as a disbursement which goes against Law Society guidelines and common sense! read more

We read some of the reviews on the web and were a bit worried, but decided they were outweighed by the positive. I'm very content with that decision because it was efficient and fast, and we had no problems at all with getting the legal aspect of our secured loan sorted. It was impersonal, and I have no idea how it would be if a problem came up. However the online system made the transaction for all practical purposes transparent and painless. I'd use them again. read more

Gordon's Property Lawyers are COMPLETELY INEPT in their duties and should be avoided at ALL COST. They have taken months to process my mortgage and I have had to chase both them and my current mortgage provider to ensure that communication between the two parties happens. This is at no fault to my current mortgage provider. The most simple of tasks seems to defeat Gordon's Property Lawyers and my case handler hdelaney is NEVER available to talk on the phone, only referring me to the junior staff. Given the choice of hundreds of possible solicitors, avoid these clowns like the plague. read more

used gordons recently for my remortgage, and was very pleased with the service, from start to finish they kept me informed of the progress at all times, and i never once had to phone them or chase anything up, everything was done through email, and text, completed on the day i wanted and confirmed once it had gone through, would use them again no problem read more
