Utterly Awful

The first solicitor we were assigned to (September 2024) i am convinced was a junior, had no idea what they were doing. When we pulled out of a sale and found a new property, this solicitor advised us she couldn't take on the case until we had been introduced my a mortgage advisor. Luckily we already had one who had never heard such a thing.
We were then passed between 5 different solicitors as if each one handled a different area of a sale, so trying to contact them was impossible. Everything has to be done through their App, which meant messages could be sat unread for weeks.
We contacted them every week for 6 weeks and heard nothing back from them, we had to ask our mortgage advisor to phone on our behalf to see if they could get a response. When we did get responses they were purely generic.
We had specified to complete in January, up until the 15th January we still had no idea where we were up to. Out of the blue we were then given a completion date of February.
The week before the completion date, the estate agents (for out sale and purchase) advised the solicitor had still not agreed the completion date.
The completion date was set for a Friday. On the Monday we found the solicitor had still not agreed the completion date, on Tuesday the solicitor advised we would have funds leftover, which we knew to be incorrect as we would need to be sending them more funds. Turns out the solicitor had done absolutely nothing in regards to paying off our Help to Buy. On Wednesday the solicitor decided they need proof of funds for where the extra deposit is coming from - we had been saying this since October, and asking for the forms since December, and now two days before completion this is asked for, if it wasn't for us being tech savvy this would not have been possible as the funds were a gift from parents down south. Thursday we then find we have not exchanged still, and the changes to the contract that were necessary had still not been made regarding funds being kept back from our purchase for repairs. Friday we miraculously completed. two weeks later we receive an email to say they did have funds left over and where to send. we asked for clarification on these funds as we were not expecting anything back. The funds arrived in our bank account with no communication; we therefore assumed they were the funds from our purchase to cover repairs. We then received a letter saying the case would be closed at the solicitors as everything was now complete. A month after completion, we have received a letter from the old mortgage saying there is still monies outstanding so the mortgage is in fact still open on the old property. I have emailed the solicitor for why this has happened, or how this is possible, but have received no response.

I would not direct my worst enemy to this solicitor. Utter shambles!

Shocking communication!!

This has to be the worst experience we have ever had after five house purchases!! This was a purchase for my sister, who I was responsible for communicating and any correspondance.

With this being the sixth purchase I have been involved with, I will say this was an absolutely horrensdous experience for both my sister and myself!!

It was difficult getting hold of our case handler Matthew, who always seemed to be on break or on the phone, especially when important documents were required even leading to the mortgage offer expiring!!

Going forward, we will stay well clear from Gorvins Residential and look for another reputable solicitor firm.

Thankfully we were able to finally complete the purchase after five months!! Constantly calling and emailing Gorvins, along with the vendor also getting their solicitor to chase Gorvins daily.

Upsetting

In my opinion this company has a lot to improve on.

I struggled to communicate with them and get answers and sometimes it was only partial answers. Sometimes they would promise an answer and not do so.

The worst thing that happened was when my partner made a comment about being unhappy and the case handler called my phone (which I passed to my partner). The tone and what I perceived as aggression towards us was totally unwarranted especially as all we were asking for (having asked multiple times) wss proof of what they were saying against our landlord. The case handler blamed the landlord and said I wouldnt be happy with the landlord solution to complete (they assumed amd didnt ask). I was upset by the way we were spoken to but worse was seeing how upset and distressed my partner was.

Our broker also contacted them and they ignored her.

My partner complaimed and I saw their response where they said "above and beyond" definitely not in my view!

Never again with them

A most upsetting experience

If I could give a 0 I would have done so.

To say that I am angry and disappointed with Gorvins would be an understatement. My landlord and myself did make mistakes but Gorvins didn't help the situation I feel

Sometimes I would message them and my handler didn't respond and when I initially raised this I received a response that I thought was very short and rude.

Eventually after much back and forth I raised I was not happy if what my landlord said was true and received a call from my handler where I was spoken to in what I believe was a highly inappropriate manner that left both me and my partner very upset.

I did make an offer to sort out the issue and later on in that phone call they said why they did not.

I made a complaint and they dismissed it and said my account handler went "above and beyond" which it's fair to say I highly disagree with. My landlord for their part acknowledged - and made means to rectify - the complaint and what I believed was their failings

I will never use this company again.

Unacceptable Client Service

I would strongly advise against using Gorvins Residential Conveyancers based on my ongoing experience. As client-based services go, this has been a shocking experience and frustrating slow from the very beginning.

I’m now 135 days into what should be a completely straightforward property purchase — no chain on either side, no disputes, no show-stoppers — and yet the process has dragged on due to their lack of urgency, communication, and basic competence.

Phone calls for updates are met with vague, responses like “your solicitor is in meetings” or “we’ll get back to you,” followed by radio silence. I’ve routinely spent over 15 minutes on hold, only to be forgotten entirely. Emails chasing updates have gone unanswered for days.

There’s been zero proactiveness. Enquiries have been handled without my knowledge or input, directly causing avoidable delays — delays I’ve only discovered after repeatedly pushing for information. What little communication I have received is drip-fed in fragments. The lack of attention to detail is staggering — I’ve even been sent documents, including property searches, for entirely different properties on several occasions.

As of today, I’ve had no full responses sent to me for the enquiries raised, no timeline for exchange and completion — just silence to my emails and unable to get to speak to anyone on the phone who can help me to move this on. For a routine sale of low complexity, this level of service is completely unacceptable.

If you're looking for a smooth, communicative, and professional conveyancing experience — avoid Gorvins at all costs.

Outstanding Service from Start to Finish!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Sanabal Maqsood from Gorvins Residential for our property purchase, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the outset, Sanabal was highly professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive.

She helped us complete the entire purchase in just 28 days! Throughout the process, she kept us fully informed, answered all our questions promptly, and ensured everything progressed smoothly. Her calm and confident approach gave us peace of mind at every stage.

Sanabal’s attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to client care truly set her apart. We felt like we were in safe hands from day one and are genuinely grateful for her hard work.

We would highly recommend Sanabal to anyone looking for a solicitor who is not only efficient but also kind, approachable, and truly on your side. Thank you again, Sanabal — you made what could have been a stressful experience feel completely seamless!
