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.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Alison & Sharon more. They are so efficient, competent, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. They made the whole process feel easy, guiding me through every step and putting me completely at ease. I’ve already recommended them and will continue to do so to anyone buying a home.

Thank you for your review, Katie. Alison and Sharon will be delighted to hear your feedback!
