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.

Jonny was incredibly supportive, stretching himself beyond pure real estate support and advice to support and advise on the finance, construction and planning sides.
Janine dealt with the complications of our sale and purchase with patience, professionalism and meticulous attention to detail.
Leanne is a trusted BDW partner who can be relied upon to work diligently and enthusiastically towards achieving her clients’ aims.
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!
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
Thank you for your review, Laurence!
Nothing short of a pleasant and seamless experience, Catherine was extremely helpful, professional and thorough every step of the way. I would definately recommend Gateley to first time buyers especially :)
Thank you for your review, Toby!
A previous solicitor stonewalls me and wears me down, likely due to a conflict. I go to Gateley and I'm received by the (stunning) Mia at reception who runs off to find me someone that can help. Trainees in the reception gave me a warming chat about their career journey. Thanks.
Alison was recommend to us a number of years ago by our mortgage advisor. He said she was the best in the business and I couldn’t agree more. We have worked with Alison on all of our property purchases and would never go to anyone else. She and her colleagues at Gateley are friendly, responsive and incredibly well-informed. Always at the end of the phone and happy to chat through any questions, Alison is an absolute pleasure to work with, and when dealing with something as important as a property purchase, I cannot stress how comforting it was to know that we were in such safe, conscientious hands.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Lauren. Alison and the team will be absolutely delighted to read this. It means a great deal to know that our advice and support have given you confidence and reassurance during something as important as your property purchase. Many thanks.

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
Over the last few years, more so in the last few months, within a recent role i held I had the priviledge of working with Gateley Legal and being able to share knowledge across a multitude of areas. I met Claire Herbert through the Nottingham Panthers, in Slovakia, and then met again at a networking event. Gateley have been a significant driver in sports over recent years and were recently the main support for the Common Wealth games. Gateley helped me and the team I have had keep one step ahead in some areas like with Safe Guarding, sporting governance, employment law and a multitude of other areas where I needed assistance. I would definately recommend Gateley legal for anyone, not just sport, that needs a good sound judgement from a fabulous team that will support you through thick and thin.

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!

Thank you for your review, Laurence!
My Mum used to be a nurse in this building when it was a hospital.. Great to see it's kept some of the old features from outside anyway..
