Poor lease advice then - dismissive Complaint reply now

I used GWCA Solicitors to handle the conveyancing when I purchased my leasehold flat. The property had a kitchen extension which was fully disclosed by the seller and acknowledged by GWCA in their own correspondence. The lease clearly required freeholder consent for alterations, but GWCA did not secure this consent or advise me of the risk of proceeding without it.

As a result, years later I was forced to spend over £1,900 on a surveyor’s report and a retrospective licence to rectify the issue, and had to accept £5,000 less on my sale due to delays in resolving the missing paperwork.

I raised a formal complaint, but GWCA informed me their original file had been destroyed and rejected my complaint outright without asking me for any supporting evidence or seeking to resolve the matter constructively. I have now referred this to the Legal Ombudsman.

I feel this shows poor service, a lack of care and a dismissive approach to resolving a genuine issue which has caused unnecessary cost and stress.

I hope this helps others make an informed choice when selecting a solicitor.

Professional and helpful service

Mr Dickson helped me to pursue a claim after I was injured during a yoga class. He was friendly and helpful, and explained all my options to me clearly. I received regular updates on my case via email and 'phone calls.

Adam Jeffs compensation claim

I was involved in an incident at work where unfortunately my foot was run over by some heavy plant machinery. I live in Lancing, so I made an appointment at your office and had a meeting with Malcolm. I have never had to work with a solicitor before but he put me at ease and talked me through my options going forward. I will always be incredibly grateful for everything Malcolm did for me. It really felt all the way through the process that he put my best interests and needs first, and I feel very lucky to have been involved with Malcolm, Annette and GWCA.

Personal Injury Claim

I cannot recommend Malcolm Dickson highly enough. I instructed him where I was the claimant in a personal injury case and he managed to secure the result I required. He was highly professional and supportive, as well as being very approachable.

Costs us thousands of £’s

I used their services for a straightforward Remortgage. In a word I ‘trusted’ them. What a mistake it has cost us thousands & I mean thousands of pounds and many hours of worry and sleepless nights. We are taking action against this firm to recover our money. I assumed Solicitor meant they were acting on our behalf. We should have walked away when we saw open files strewn around their Lancing Offices. Admitting they have made a mistake is not in their DNA. Take my advice find another firm of Solicitors. It’s the first time I’ve not used our usual Brighton Solicitors. I expected the same level of communication and service. How wrong could I have been!!! Their attitude rather than ‘put their hand up’ has been one of maximum delay and it’s the Clients fault. Don’t believe for one minute this firm is in your ‘corner’. It is not the behaviour you would expect from a firm of Solicitors. To busy, poor client communication and attention to detail are the headline problems!

instructed GWCA Solicitors for the conveyancing when I purchased my leasehold flat. The property included a kitchen extension which was fully disclosed by the seller and flagged by GWCA in their own letters. The lease required freeholder consent for alterations, but GWCA failed to secure this or properly warn me about the risks.

I expected better care and a more reasonable approach to resolving it once I explained the issue.

I hope this helps others.

Malcolm and Annette were very easy to deal with and explained everything carefully to ensure I understood the options and the subsequent implications. This resulted in my PI claim being settled quickly and with minimum hassle.
Thank you..
