AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

1

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

1

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.

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.

Would give zero stars if allowed

1

The process has taken 4 months to complete a simple equity transfer that I was contemplating doing myself but didn't have the time to spend. Was recommended GN Law after using, & paying for, Homeward Legal's Completely Moved service. Even the most basic of interactions has either taken a very long time or I've been offered scant or inaccurate advice - for instance I was informed that only I needed to carry out a credentials check & then when nothing happened for a period of time I queried this to be told that they were waiting on my wife's credentials check despite previously telling me the opposite. They also moved office but failed to inform me of their new address despite me having to send signed for paperwork to them. This is typical of the poor level of service provided that carried on over the course of 4 months - I would never use or recommend this firm again.

Poor communication and took way to long

2

Impossible to speak to, or get a call back from an actual legal professional. No updates, no timelines, poor quality communication, always had to try pushing things along. Zero proactively. 6 months is too long for a cash land purchase.

If you want an efficient and contactable conveyancer who conforms to deadlines DO NOT use this company. Their sheer unprofessionalism and unnecessary delay in completion caused great inconvenience and loss of money for both parties. Pallette St Hilaire was the named conveyancer.
