What Happened To This Firm?

This review is for a different branch.

I’ve used Sam Conveyancing in partnership with Chadwick Lawrence several times and was always happy, until my 2024/25 sale. This time, the process was nothing short of appalling.
Solicitor “missing in action”: Gypsy Goldthorpe was consistently unresponsive, rude and extremely passive-aggressive.
Endless Delays: A straightforward sale dragged on for six months because key tasks weren’t completed on time.
Ignored At Every Turn: Both Ms Goldthorpe and her assistant, Katy Amos, ignored my emails, calls and voicemails for weeks and weeks on end.
There was zero support from Sam Conveyancing. I escalated the issue, I was simply left to deal with the bad working practices by myself.
I will not use Chadwick Lawrence again for any further sales/purchases. The needless stress and pressure they put me under during what should have been a simple sale was utterly unacceptable.

A representative from Chadwick Lawrence LLP responded to this review on 07 July, 2025:

We are sorry you feel that our service did not satisfy your expectations. We set high standards and would like to understand the issue more. If you are a client of the firm please contact your case lead or visit www.chadwicklawrence.co.uk/client-care-complaints. Kind regards Neil Wilson, Managing Partner

Awful Company

This review is for a different branch.

We are currently trying to purchase a property in the UK whilst living in Spain, we are British Citizens and have only been out of the UK for 3 years. An employee named H Singh is extremely unprofessional and not at all clear of what he requires from you and why. He sends emails without reading through them first so they contain several grammatical errors. He said if we are not happy with them we are within our rights to find someone else (that's big of him) but I have said we are paying Chadwick lawrence good money for a service and that is what we expect to get, why should we find someone else which would cost us even more money. If you are looking for a conveyancing firm then I would choose someone else, sadly we didn't

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!

This review is for a different branch.

1 is too generous but there is no option to leave a minus score! Been trying to purchase my mums home since November and it’s still ongoing! If you ask for an update you get a sarcastic response! Don’t bother trying to ring on a Friday there seems to be a pattern that they don’t answer on Friday afternoons.

I’m on my 4th extension and now at risk of my sale falling through, they don’t care. Well, unless I pay an additional £350 for them to prioritise my file!!!

Do not use this firm! I wish I paid extra and had it completed months ago!

Very helpful throughout our sale

This review is for a different branch.

They helped us every step of the way, the first house we were trying to buy, the sellers pulled out of the deal, two days before my wife went into labour of our first child.

As you can imagine rather panicked we went straight to the estate agents put an offer on a new house and had it accepted and Chadwick Lawrence did the rest. They worked very hard and was keeping us informed on all the things we needed to be in and now thanks to their hard work we have the keys to our new home.

Great service from the start

This review is for a different branch.

We instructed them to sell our flat and the process was handled well. There were a few delays but that was mainly down to waiting for our buyers. We found the app useful and it was kept updated. It was a bit fiddly for our ID but they helped when we sent a message on the app. Happy overall.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate your feedback and will ensure this is taken on board. Kind regards Neil Wilson, Managing Partner
