I have previously sent a review scoring you as Very Poor. You subsequently sent me an email asking for contact details, which I duly sent. I then received an email from the person responsible for my giving a low score quoting the same old party line. So all you did was ask the person responsible for my dissatisfaction to reply to me directly. It seems my low score is justified because it certainly wasn't an impartial assessment of my score!!

Today I have learned of a huge error made by legal department and LV who have not checked significant documents prior to the release of equity. , and a partial,payment made to an outside agency who are reportedly the cause of this error. Causing distress and because of my immediate awareness and scrutiny of such documentation I have had to request a hold so that an investigation can be made. I’m am totally:dis satisfied that such unacceptable errors have been made thus holding up paying of my equity release.

Misrepresented costs and charged more than agreed Slow and disorganised Forgot key aspects of the transaction and required me to correct on legal aspects Errors in legal documents such that another solicitor refused to sign Passive aggressive and disingenuous Terrible experience. Worst I have ever dealt with Resent the fact I have paid for such bad service

Please do NOT use this company, there are not enough hours in the day to explain, in short, withdrew an option that was offered to me as it did not fit their needs, did not respond to emails, did not respond to my agent's telephone calls, tried to convince me that I was mistaken of what I had read and completed in their paperwork with my wife, not able to make multiple choices in this feed back form. One star for waving a small fee that I would not agree to and getting the completion date correct!!,

Poor communication. Lack of empathy and no apologies for delays. The process took much longer than we were initially led to believe.

Awful. Ignored preliminary instructions, issued incomprehensible completion statements, did not much in the way of understanding of the transaction. Expensive.

We were recommended GW Legal by Age Partnership. At no stage were we advised by GW Legal of likely costs & charges. When we were presented with a copy on completion we noticed that we had been charged £99 for a mortgage redemption statement which according to the mtge coy is provided free. We are still awaiting a response from GW Legal on this & also still waiting for them to send the cashback amount of £1k

Slow, inaccurate calculations, arrogant when asked to check costs, had to get refund after paying over the odds to enable transaction. Had to do their work for them to push process forward. Poor service. Would not recommend.

The worst Solictors I have ever dealt with. They never ever call you back and are never available. They do not take your case as a personal case and you are just a very small fish in there very large pond. Would NOT recommend them at all

I was a lawyer for 35 years including 5 years on the management board of a large firm and 15 years running my own specialist practice. I have bought and sold houses many times. That gives me some insight. I fully accept that pressure of work for conveyancing has been quite exceptional which may account for the extremely poor service I received. Numerous emails from me received no reply. Letters were sent out to us with important enclosures missing and we were frequently asked to provide material which had already been sent and acknowledged.

Straight forward transaction re Equity release via Age Partnership and Aviva insurance. Age partnership in their documents indicated legal costs at approximately 750 pounds. Final bill 500 pounds more than that. Not happy. Coincidentally Age Partnership offered 500pounds cash back, as part of their service.

Came back to to because I had an excellent experience when remortgaging with Helen Airey. Was assigned to David Lowry and was really disappointed. The other side’s solicitor ran rings around him. He requires chasing in order to respond to their enquiries, he never responded to emails from anyone (me or the estate agent). Things were requested late. I ended up doing and chasing a lot of things myself in order to make sure we hit the end of June deadline. Whole experience was way more stressful than it needed to be.

Throughout my experience with GW they have handled my mother,s exuity release with indifference, obstructive and generally puting me on the back burner. Contacting me through a third party eg Age Partnership right upto the last day of completion. Just to confirm money transfer and to ask if my mother was still alive. After nearly 6 months of cockups and dragging of heels I thought checking to see if My mother was still alive sums up GW solicitors attitude towards the fee payer. 3rd class service for top drawer payment. Very very disapointed and frustrated over the whole experience. Stephen Trew LPA for Margaret Trew

OK until there is something out of the ordinary then everything comes to a stand still. Communication stops and don't follow up.
