I used GWCA Solicitors at the Worthing office for the conveyancing when I bought my leasehold flat. The seller disclosed a kitchen extension and GWCA flagged that the lease required freeholder consent, but they failed to secure this consent or warn me about the consequences.
Years later, this oversight forced me to spend over £1,900 on a surveyor and licence and accept £5,000 less on my sale due to delays fixing the missing paperwork.
When I raised a formal complaint, the firm told me their file had been destroyed and dismissed my concerns without asking for any supporting evidence or offering a fair resolution. I’ve had to escalate this to the Legal Ombudsman.
This review is about the original poor leasehold advice by the Worthing office and the dismissive complaint handling that has caused me significant cost and stress.
I hope this helps others make an informed choice when instructing GWCA for leasehold conveyancing.

The team at GWCA are fantastic. I’ve used their service in the past when taking out my original mortgage and was more than happy to use them again during my remortgage application.
Emma and the team have an excellent attention to detail and keep you updated throughout the entire process.
Very pleased and will continue to use GWCA.

The other vendor put me n a very difficult position,where I could have lost my new home. My solitor Louise Pitick was highly trained and professional in guiding me to a successful conclusion.

Used Emma Chartwell to purchase our house - Emma Chartwell was never available to speak to … she never returned calls and I ended up having to do most of the work myself - submitted a complaint as it nearly resulted in us not purchasing our house - only positive was that they didn’t charge us for their work - would never use them again. !!

We used the conveyancing service to (both buying and selling) at GWCA. We had used online services for previous move (this didn’t work well for us) we wanted to use a local agent this time.
The Rustington branch was efficient and friendly. Even during the sad loss of a colleague and partner the team didn’t lose touch with clients and picked up their work.

I used GWCA Solicitors for conveyancing when I purchased my leasehold flat. The property included an extension which was clearly disclosed by the seller and required freeholder consent, but GWCA failed to secure this or warn me properly about the risk — even though their own correspondence showed they knew about the issue.
Years later, this oversight has cost me thousands in surveyor’s fees, a retrospective licence, and I was forced to accept a lower sale price due to missing paperwork that should have been dealt with at the time of purchase. When I complained, they destroyed their file, refused to take responsibility, and told me it was my job as the client to check the lease plan myself!
I’ve had to escalate my complaint to the Legal Ombudsman and prepare a legal claim to recover my losses. I do not feel GWCA acted with care or professional diligence, and would not recommend them for leasehold conveyancing.

It was our first time having to deal with a legal matter of this type. Both Merna, Gemma, and their staff have been nothing short of amazing during this time. As it was a lengthy process with some hiccups on our end causing delays, they displayed nothing but kindness and patience, which has been wholeheartedly appreciated.
I would recommend this firm of solicitors to anyone who needs their services, as they carry themselves with both knowledge and heart.
Again, thank you to everyone involved in this.
Much love,
Nickolas & Kimberley

Abigail has been genuinely amazing sorting out out issue with our developer. When yet another arose, she was our first call again & have absolute confidence that she will be able to help us again.
She is genuinely a credit to your team.
We also used GWCA to purchase our property and they were fantastic and speedy getting everything we needed.
A really well informed service from start to finish.
We also used GWCA for a probate matter.
Genuinely would 100% recommend them for all aspects of legal representation.
