Great support during first time purchase

Thank you so much Jonathan and Muneera for your support during my house purchase. This was a great experience, my solicitor and all the firrm's team were very efficient, responsive, helpful and patient. They were very knowledgeable and always found time to chat and explain things to me as a first time buyer. I had full trust in the process which is priceless especially during first purchase. Thank you so much!

Excellent advice and service provided

It was a pleasure to deal with Hassan. He was very professional, informative and offered a first class service. Hassan provided legal advice that was clear and easy to understand which we really appreciated and also kept us up to date with progress by email and telephone on a regular basis.

Our affairs are now in order which gives us peace of mind and we would definitely recommend Hassan - he was a pleasure to deal with.

Worked hard to assist in a difficult auction purchase

The Auction pack was at fault which was picked up early and gowlings pushed this issue and the fault of the Auction company that had failed to list the property correctly.
The issue was sorted at no extra expense to myself thanks to the tenacity of Julie Thomas.
The completion nearly a year later was finalised but Suzanne and Radhika who were always happy to answer my questions and help my own understanding.

Awful experience - do not recommend at all

Our experience using Gowlings was nothing but stress. The team in charge of our case were not competent at all and ultimately ended with us withdrawing on the day the vendor decided to notify us that moving vans had been booked (this was booked prior to our notice). yet our solicitors didnt tell us anything. Apparently they were not even aware that the vendor was ready to exchange...
They constantly dodged phone calls from known numbers but immediately answered calls from unknown numbers. They did not respond to emails in a timely manner. They did not provide updates or a plan of action for chasing the vendor / vendors solicitors.
Our estate agent knew before us that the vendor was ready to exchange (we had already pulled out at this point). we lost a lot of time and money using Gowlings. never again.

house purchase

Although there were a few issues along the way (usually with the sellers solicitor) Sabeeha always responded to us quickly, worked to resolve problems as quickly as she could and we were confident she was doing everything she could for us. We will definitely come back to Gowlings when we sell our house.

5 star review for a 5 star service

Communication is the key when dealing with the purchase of a property which is something that Gowlings do extremely well. I was kept updated throughout the process and would strongly recommend Gowlings Solicitors to anyone that requires the services of a good solicitor.
