Incomprehensible Incompetence and Lies

I think I'm fortunate in never before having dealt with incompetence on the level exhibited by GPL. There incompetence and lies have lead to my chain not progressing and having to wait another two weeks to try again.

I was supposed to exchange contract on the 27th of September. GPL confirmed that they were ready to proceed with the exchange and that everything was in order days before this. On the day of exchange they suddenly realised that they hadn't received a response on a parking plan up the chain and decided that because of this it couldn't proceed. They hadn't even chased this parking plan until that day! This was frustrating.

We tried again on the 30th of September. On the 27th GPL confirmed that once they had the parking plan they would be okay to proceed. They received the parking plan. Great news. All of a sudden they decided that the signature on the TR1 form did not match the other signatures they had on documents. This was the 9th copy of the TR1 form submitted theu they had either lost or had issues with! They confirmed that once they had this form then the exchange would happen. The TR1 was sent 24hr tracked delivery.

On the 1st of October we tried again. The TR1 form arrived with GPL by midday and they confirmed that the exchange would take place. Then 10 minutes later they suddenly realised that they needed to wait for an OS2 search to come back. This OS2 search was based on the plan they received on the 27th. I cannot understand how it is possible to forget that you ordered a search that would block a chain, and confirm to your client that nothing could block the exchange and then realise moments after that confirmation that you are missing documentation.

This is an incomprehensible level of incompetence and negligence amd I am infuriated with them.

I am not their client but part of the chain, but I felt compelled to warn people away from this disgraceful company! If I was paying for this service I would certainly be demanding a refund.

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

This is a joke of a firm - they are impossible to get hold of and the customer service is non existent
Natwest use these people so I had no choice but to use them - a simple remortgage turned in to a 4 month farce!
Sending letters and final equity cheques to the wrong address or just not bothering at all and then lying to say they have
Notice all the good reviews are months ago - look at recent ones - this is a true reflection

Terrible service – I would never recommend using them. They promised to send me the HMRC land register, but even a year later, I still haven't received it. When I call to follow up, the receptionist tells me they’ll get in touch, but nothing ever happens.

Wish I could do 0. DO NOT USE!!!!

The entire experience was miserable, we feel like we were left in the dark. Really poor communication. Terrible to get hold of. Rude & abrupt. We wish our mortgage advisor had never suggested this company - it ruined our whole first time buying process making it so stressful.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

You have two options at this point. You can either use this conveyancing firm OR you can enquire to universities about enrolling on a law degree, go through the entire course, sit the exam, get some work experience, set up your own law firm and then do whatever you need doing yourself and I guarantee it'll be less stress than using this lot.

Incredibly, we didn't actually use this firm for our recent house move, our buyer did. I cannot count on two hands and two feet the amount of issues, set backs, lack of information management and processing and just sheer problems we experienced second hand as we patiently waited for someone at Gordon's to pull their finger out.

When we finally arrived on what should have been exchange day, our solicitor contacted us to say Gordon's hadn't given confirmation that the deposit from our buyer had been sent. I mean it wasn't much money to be fair, just £25k odd which obviously everyone has floating around. Throw away change right?
We had confirmation from our estate agents that the money had been sent from our buyer but Gordon's supposedly didn't have it.

It then transpired that they did have it but no one had bothered to process whatever needed to be processed to push the house sale on. This caused my wife and I untold stress and money as we had vehicles on hire, storage facilities in use and holiday booked with work as we were told repeatedly that there were no setbacks anticipated and we would exchange and complete in the same week. This setback pushed us back a week which meant we had to pay for another weeks van hire, rent on our storage facility and book more time off work at a seconds notice.

Goodness knows what stress our buyer went through. It was bad enough for us. This was just one of several issues we experienced having to indirectly deal with this lot.

My advice? Get a local firm and bin these online solicitors off. Yes they're cheaper, yes you'll pay more for a local one but my word, the additional stress all to save a few hundred quid is simply not worth it.

Avoid.

Used by the buyer or the property we selling. Taking ridiculous long time on the day of agreed exchange asking for lots of last min document, despite requested money from lender we still waiting for the exchange despite all of the asked paperwork being provided a few days ago. Absolutely avoid at all costs
