Dealt with Jawad for my house purchase. Never spoke to Jawad despite numerous complaints and requests. Got my updates from my sellers solicitors as I never got updates. They only do the chases and their job when they are being threatened with SRA. They ask for upfront payment. I was getting a £250 cash back from my mortgage company. Remembered this, 5 mths after completion and they said it had been sent to my solicitors. I had to chase them for the reimbursement. They do not do anything unless you chase them. They do not work on your behalf. 9 mths after I have moved in the property, I am still chasing the solicitors to register my house. Do not use these.

Jawad was the worst solicitor I have ever dealt with.
I'm a law student so I'm aware of what's required of solicitors and Jawad is non compliant with the law, has continuously lied and misled throughout. A solicitor who breaks the law is just horrendous and he also stole from me.
He is now ignoring my message and emails about my complaint.
Avoid this company.

Hello! I am very sorry that the documents sent to this company remained completely unnoticed. We sent them more than a year ago. My father's documents were sent to this company, they called him 2 times and since then there has been silence. It is a pity that in a difficult situation no help was provided and the case was simply put aside. My father is a refugee from Ukraine, and he counted on support, but has not received any response or help so far.
The documents were transferred to Mamed Larsanov.
We hoped for a professional and responsible attitude, but, unfortunately, we encountered a complete lack of feedback and participation.
I would really like to know the reason why there was no reaction.

Multiple mistakes in the course of conveyancing, starting with putting the wrong buyer name on the contract, marking the purchase as "limited company" instead of normal personal purchase of a 1st time house, and lastly by accepting a 5% less deposit on the contract signed by the seller compared to the higher figure transferred to their account and stated on my, the buyer's contract. which I discovered after sale completion when i asked for a copy of the signed contract.
Poor integrity: claiming that "it is a legal rule to put 10% only on the contract but to transfer any amount"
No communication whatsoever with a qualified solicitor from a start to finish. No communication with the paralegal who are not experienced at conveyancing and have made repeated serious mistakes in the sale papers and wasting time and causing more stress to an already stressful process. They don't advise you on the process at all. they don't check documents received from the seller's solicitor and after I reviewed a couple of docs i discovered multiple discrepancies/errors that made me realize i had to fact check every document myself; to discover more issues! They did not stick to the initially agreed time frame although all parties were ready to complete by a specific date and the searches' outcome came back in reasonable time- until i advised i am using a different solicitor to complete, which has prompted them to complete the conveyancing within a week!
Totally monetary driven- They explicitly and shamelessly work against their client's best interest. Only gross negligence and poor integrity can describe their way of working.

Very poor communicator. During the property sale he was very difficult to communicate with, I often had to request things multiple times before a response. Once paid for conveyancing I as a buyer had follow up requirements. Jawad Mahmood simply forwarded my enquiry to the seller solicitor then ignored any further attempt from me to contact him, basically ghosted me. Very unprofessional.

Lack of duty of care, unreachable, unprofessional, my experience with Jawad Mahmood has been very negative, this has been an uphill struggle to recieve updates ,the morgage company, the estate agent, my morgage broker and myself as a client have never been so dissatisfied with a professional service.

Contacted this firm to complete my first house purchase with a mortgage offer from the bank. Kept chasing them every month for six months, I never actually got to speak to the solicitor dealing with my case but left massages with the reception to pass on. Kept emailing about the progress and got similar answer every time “we will follow up with the sellers solicitors” until the mortgage offer time expired. So they took my money and couldn’t do the job, didn’t answer to my requests I don’t know what to call this firm accept what it is….
