Gd Legal Solicitors Ltd

Absolutely the worst service ever, made our experience of selling our home the most miserable 11 months of my life, I would never recommend & have no idea how they have achieved a 4 star rating. No regard for our circumstances and even less respect for people selling their property. No return calls, no response to urgent emails and numerous mistakes on critical documents slowing the completion down, don't try and refer your concern to the "boss" because he doesn't reply once you accept their quote . I would never advise anyone to risk their sanity using GD law/GD Legal

Having received some good advice during an initial call, I took up the conveyancing service. Khurram Khan was pragmatic, articulate and realistic. I was very happy with the way he actioned enquiries, getting on in the background and steadily progressing my case to a successful conclusion. Great customer service. Also, the second time we have used this team and would use again.

Jieyi was absolutely fantastic, everything went smoothly and any queries I had were dealt with very quickly. It can be complicated with a leasehold but everything was dealt with quickly and efficiently, we were ready to exchange and complete long before the buyers solicitor! This is the second time in three years I have used this company, and I would not hesitate to use them again!

I and my husband bought a property through GD Solicitors in June 2024, and it has been an absolute nightmare from start to finish. My husband left a review two weeks ago explaining our appalling experience with them, and since then nothing has changed. GD Solicitors publicly replied to his review asking us to “contact the client care team” — which we have done several times. The reality? You get placed on hold for hours and nobody ever answers. Not a single call has been returned. Land Registry Issue For the past year, we have been chasing GD Solicitors for an update on the Land Registry status. After constant follow-ups, we were told they were still waiting for information from the seller’s solicitor. However, when we contacted the seller’s solicitor directly, they confirmed they had sent all the necessary paperwork over a year ago. This means GD Solicitors either lied or lost critical documents. As a result, we are still living in a house that is not legally in our name. The firm has also withheld a portion of our sale proceeds. We provided all the documentation they requested to release the funds, yet the money has still not been returned. Our Verdict This is not “slow service” — it is a complete failure of professional duty. GD Solicitors were entrusted with one of the most important transactions of our lives, and they have left us with an unresolved legal and financial mess that has caused immense stress for over a year. Don’t be fooled by the other positive reviews like us — our case was a disaster. We are now escalating this matter to the Consumer Department and considering legal action. If GD Solicitors genuinely care about their clients, they must stop hiding behind unanswered phone lines and resolve both the Land Registry issue and the release of our funds immediately. To anyone reading this — my strongest advice is simple: stay away from GD Solicitors.

My wife and I used GD Solicitors in June 2024 for both the sale and purchase of properties, and it has been an absolute nightmare from start to finish. Buying Side: The solicitor originally assigned to us was completely ineffective, and throughout the process, the firm changed our solicitor at least four times without informing us. Communication was non-existent — none of the solicitors were ever available to speak on the phone. The buying process took over three months to complete, and even now, more than a year later, it’s still not fully done. For the past year, I have been chasing GD Solicitors for an update on the Land Registry status. After continuous follow-ups, I was finally told they’re still waiting for information from the seller's solicitor. When I contacted the seller’s solicitor directly, they confirmed they had sent all the necessary documentation over a year ago — which means GD Solicitors either lied or lost critical paperwork. Either way, I’ve been living in a house that’s still not legally in my name after a full year. I’m now seeking help from the Consumer Department to escalate this. Selling Side: To be fair, our solicitor Shahla was good with communication, but the firm held a portion of our sale proceeds. Despite me providing all the necessary documentation to release it, the money has still not been returned. Overall, I strongly advise others to stay away from GD Solicitors. The experience has been exhausting, stressful, and frankly unacceptable. What should have been a smooth transaction turned into an ongoing legal mess that we're still dealing with a year later.

Very Disappointing, Borderline Incompetent. I used GD for the sale of my leasehold flat but it seemed they were way out of their depth. Had it not been for my repeated intervention, the sale would have almost certainly fallen through. Though generally quick to respond to correspondence, I became frustrated at a lack of clarity, and at times serious miscalculation of fees. I had to step in on several occasions to correct GDs misinterpretation of the lease agreement, and it became very time consuming checking all correspondence for errors. On several occasions GD simply forwarded incorrect information from the property management company to the buyers solicitors. At the end of it all, they simply ignored my complaint over the level of involvement required from me, and lack of professional value from them. I wouldn't use them again, nor recommend them for anyone buying or selling a leasehold property.
