Gave wrong completion figures TWICE

I was recommended Gorvins to deal with our remortgage of our property from my mortgage broker/

They was swift with their responses and the process moved at a timely manner.

However on the day of completion i had still not received an updated completion statement showing the correct amounts of borrowing.

Eventually this was received and i agreed to complete based upon a overpayment figure being paid to myself once funds were received so i could consolidate debts.( after all this was the purpose of the remortgage)

Cut to the chase the figures on the completion statement were wrongly provided to me meaning the figure i received was less than i had agreed to.

When i went back to the solicitor to query this she advised that this amount would be coming from the new mortgage company direct after completion.

When i spoke to the mortgage broker they advised that there was no further funds being released to me and it was infact Gorvins completion statement that was wrong. not something you expect from a solicitors that are being paid in excess of £1000.

So not only did Gorvins advise me of the wrong figures on the completion statement, they also further advised me incorrectly that it was coming from the mortgage company direct.

I have since sent this complaint to the Partner at Gorvins who offered me reimbursement of the £24 TT fee. Which is a complete insult being that the amount i am down is over 10 times that amount.

Gorvins made sure their fee was taken correctly BTW!!!!!

Very slow

I used to chase them but never got timely reply or even an update of what is going on. I had to extend my rental for a month due to their delay and non responsive services.

absolutely terribe, my purchase was dragged for almost a year

I am afraid the service I got is absolutely not satisfactory. We agreed a price at the beginning and confirmed with email. But later I was charged more, I emailed Rob, the team leader, but did not recieve any reply. The purchase was dragged on for almost a year. I have to wait for weeks before Maisie, the solicitor, replied every email. Maisie also tended to ignore my request. I asked a change of solicitor later, so for three months, Natasha was my contact. But there was no progress at all, every time I was told they would contact the seller and update me. After a few month, without any notice, Natasha stopped answering my email and Maisie came back although I requested that she should be removed from my case since she did not reply my email. I had to contact the estate agent and seller myself and tried to push the purchase. The purchase was dragged on forever and I found it was really difficult to get anything from them. I requested documents and emailed with my questions, all of them ignored. Only later, Maisie was on holiday and someone else stepped in, these questions were answered. I emailed Rob the team leader about my disappoitment again, but received no reply. So if you want to drag your purchase for a year, be ignored and charged more than agreed, choose them.

The worst experience of my life it has put me off for good AVOID

PLEASE READ I was recommend this company via Simply Lending Solutions Limited from the start I had a bad feeling however because they came recommend I trusted them after nearly 3 months 4 different people and over £1000 spent they sent me an app from another company requesting my entire families banking details. When I questioned them why at the stage of sending my contracts saying I was legally obliged to buy the property and I was worried it was a possibly not genuine they made it impossible to contine for example asking for my parents bank statements and proof of their address signed by a solicitor (even though they were not buying the property) then ceased contact so I'm thousands down with no property at the end PLEASE AVOID

Really poor

Really poor service from these, waiting weeks at a time for replies, with the estate agents sending several requests for updates also. Shocking communication from gorvins. I'm months into a straight forward no chain purchase with no sign of resolution any time soon.

No feedback at all

The only communication from them was to receive documents over their app. Our solicitor Danielle refused to answer simple questions made over email and was never available over the phone. We felt completely left out and lost. This is the worst customer experience I ever had

Terrible experience

Used their residential service following a recommendation from my broker.
Issues included not answering questions I would ask, errors on documents (wrong stamp duty and sale price) and not sending an amended version when initially highlighted only for once I requested specifically for a new document. Never answered the phone with their name or stating Gorvins. App didn’t work which meant I received documents 3 weeks weeks, by which point they threatened to close my case because I hadn’t completed the app documents I wasn’t aware of. I requested a review by their manager, over 16 weeks later I hadn’t heard back from this review - supposedly this took place - no evidence of this.

When my case had been closed I decided to flag this to the lead partner of the team I dealt with, which was passed on to who I imagine is a complaints manager. Response, which included a “full review” of my case, was in 51 minutes and essentially dismissed each of my complaints - he even suggested that the reason they threatened to close my case was because I was incapable of reading all the documents properly as they included requirement to make a payment. As noted above, the app had issues and I was not able to access documents properly which included the document requesting payment.

In all, EXTREMELY poor service and no point raising a complaint as they just deny everything.

Best conveyancers out there!

Completed on a probate property last week. As usual the service received by Kerry Sharples was excellent. This was the 8th transaction using Kerry as I now won’t use anyone else. Thanks

Be careful!

Be very careful with this company. the were instructed on a house I was going to buy, unfortunately I had to pull out after the survey showed some serious issues!

The problem was at the stage of closing the file. They wrote to me to say before we can close your file, we need to return £ funds to you. Great you might think, so it happened and I thought it was the end of it.

Only for some time later for them to contact you and demand you pay them money because you owe them £ and they cannot close your file until they receive the funds. An amount that changes a few weeks after that.

Seems suspect to me and not very trustful. But then they threaten legal action when you question it. So leaves you little choice if you do not want the hassle of that.

Would never use again!
