Commercial Property

Do not trust this firm.

Awful experience. I trusted Gateley to handle an important property matter and was left feeling badly let down. The process gave me no confidence that my interests were being properly protected, and the lack of clear, proactive advice has caused me serious stress and concern. For something this important, I expected professionalism, transparency, and accountability — instead I was left dealing with uncertainty and consequences I should never have had to face. I would strongly urge others to think very carefully before relying on them. I’m only one of many victims.

Horrendous

Horrendous. Gateley have directly cost me thousands of pounds. By not registering my self as the owner of my house with HM Land Registry, the one job I paid them to do, and assuring me it had been done properly, I am now incurring thousands of pounds of loss as I cannot remortgage my property. Can’t remember the last time I left a review, but given how bad Gateley have managed to me over, felt it was necessary.

Will and Dispute

Initially the solicitor was helpful and made promises. As time went on this was never fulfilled and in fact charged excessive fee's. I made it extremely clear 'not to carry out any work unless I agree' However, the solicitor took upon herself to continue and now I have a bill. I DO NOT recommend anyone to use Gately solicitors. The fee's charged are not clear with accurate details.

Wills, Trusts & Probate

Escalated Complaint to Solicitor Regulator - unprofessional

Unprofessional with exorbitant charges - no follow up; significant delays and no breakdown of charges provided. No response from solicitors or responses to complaints, no acknowledgment from senior partners. Unfair dealings causing financial losses. They were supposed to be managing probate and settlement of my mothers estate - it’s been over 6months and they are still holding onto funds from sale despite telling me twice they’re going to make interim settlements - that was more than a month ago after chasing them repeatedly. Now they’ve gone completely silent. The solicitor and partner don’t even answer or return calls; no customer service e at all! They’re disinterested and treat clients unfairly. I’ve been left with no choice but to escalate to the solicitors regulator now. Hoping SRA sort it out, of course that’s even more delays and financial losses in the meantime.

A big thank you to Alison and the whole team for their excellent support throughout the legal process of purchasing our house at Arc Apartments. From start to finish, they were professional, helpful, responsive, and made what could have been a stressful process feel much easier. They kept us informed at every stage, answered our questions clearly, and handled everything with great care and attention to detail. We really appreciate all the hard work and support from Alison and the team and would happily recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and professional team to help with their property purchase. Thank you again for making the whole experience so smooth 😊😊😊

Thank you for the lovely review, Putta!

This firm has handled 2 house purchases, and one house sale; and 1 house purchase and sale for my partner. There are thorough, brilliant, and very pleasant to deal with. I personally would highly recommend, and fully expect to have Alsion Reid represent me for everything going forwards.

Thank you for your review, Oliver!
