Too slow
They took more than 4 months for adding additional borrower to the title deed. No clear communication with solicitors working part time and passing file around. We got there in the end. I ended up with GN law through homeward legal direction. They take £180 for doing literally nothing. When there was a dispute with final completion statement, they didn’t even step in to resolve.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
I have experienced problems from start to finish, please avoid this company and these solicitors at all costs. There was little to no communication throughout the process and countless mistakes made that caused delays and issues further down the line. You cannot speak to either solicitor on the phone as you will be constantly told they are 'busy' or 'in a meeting'. The whole process was frustrating and tedious. I was constantly drafting emails and doing their work for them, begging for them to forward on the information I had provided to the relevant people. I found the solicitors rude, lazy, and they act like you are an inconvenience to them, despite charging a considerable fee. Please spend your money elsewhere!!

Simple house Purchase
Waited more than a Year for a simple property purchase, while seller was impatient and wanted to to pull out, endless requirements from your own solicitor and they don't even prioritize you. Had to go through multiple solicitors as they fired staff or they left not so sure.Bad experience and not even cheap. Life long lesson learned.

GN Law Review
The firm in Huddersfield definitely needs additional solicitors. We felt that there were delays in answering E-mails when one of them was unavailable. The Secretary, Susan Philips is excellent and successfully liaised, when necessary and is professional, proactive, efficient, friendly and provides a first class service to Customers. Without her we would have been even more frustrated waiting for replies and up dates from the Solicitors.

Love Love Love ❤️
Do you enjoy non-existent service, long delays and pure incompetence? Then GN Law is for you.
Recommended by the estate agents for my property sale. Paulette and Sue assigned to the case.
I was honoured to be put on their Premium service from the get-go: completely hands off. So hands off in fact, that even Paulette and Sue didn’t ever put their hands on!
Fantastic for those that relish unanswered phone calls, lost documents and missing out onward chains.
Great that they also include ‘assisted end-of-life’ treatment as part of their service: Guaranteed to shave off a few years from your life expectancy.
Fun fact 1: Did you know… GN actually stands for Good for Nothing. It’s true!
Fun fact 2: Did you know… Paulette and Sue are world class ‘hide and seek’ players. I’m actually yet to find them after 7 months!
Highly recommend for those without a pulse!

Avoid
The sale of my property was delayed by 22 days, costing me £10k extra to my vendor to keep him on board and avoid the chain to collapse. My file was dealt with by 4 different solicitors in 3 months, each one unaware of what the one before them had already done and which documents they had previously requested and received. Frustratingly, it was impossible to get them on the phone, even reception was very often unavailable. You'd get to number 2 or maybe 1 in the queue, then the system would cut you off, spent hours on the phone with no results, unacceptable and unprofessional. This has been one of the most stressful and frustrating experiences of my life. The team is overworked and they should not be taking on so many cases as they are clearly unable to cope.
