Gearalt has proven himself to be an exceptional lawyer, helping me with balanced and considered advice. He has done this, whilst also sharing his passion for his profession, but also demonstrating his understanding of the importance of people and relationships during negotiations. He has vastly over delivered against my expectations, and I would, without question or hesitation, recommend him to act on both a personal and corporate basis.
Gearalt is always there to offer solutions focused legal advice when dealing with complex issues. Gearalt really understands our business and that greatly assists when instructing him on new matters – I always know that I can rely on him to understand the problem (which are usually complex) and provide sound, easy to follow advice which yields successful results.
We have worked with the Gateley team on a number of transactions. Yet again, their help, support and professionalism has been exemplary and together with the rest of the TTC team, I am looking forward to the next chapter in our growth story.
The legal advice provided by Gateley Legal has been exceptional. They have been instrumental in ensuring that this transaction ran smoothly and successfully, and I’d like to thank the whole team for their hard work and support.

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. 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.
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.

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.
Contacted Gateley regarding an article in the Daily Mail, Rory Lynch took on the case and the article was removed within the week. Rory and his team answered emails promptly and gave an amazing service.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate the feedback about the positive experience and outcome you had. Kind regards
Amy was amazing during the process of buying our house! Always quick to reply and so lovely to work with ☺️
Thank you for your lovely review, Lauren-Ann. Wishing you all the very best in your new home!
Their laziness is costing me a fortune and untold stress for me and my partner.
Catherine and her team were absolutely brilliant service throughout our house purchase. They were incredibly attentive, responsive and proactive at every stage, which made the whole process far less stressful. Communication was excellent and we always felt well informed and supported. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind review, Daniel!
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!
Alison's was a great help with all of our conveyancing needs. Most importantly her communication is excellent and everything was handled calmly, professionally making for a very smooth process. Many thanks
