Gordon Brown Law Arvostelua 

I had an excellent experience working with Shafa Aldin and Gordon Brown Law. Shafa was incredibly responsive, reassuring, and proactive from the start. She guided me through every step of the process with clarity and patience, making what could have been a stressful situation feel completely manageable.
What impressed me most was Shafa's ability to work efficiently without ever compromising on thoroughness. She kept me updated throughout, handled all queries promptly, and ultimately delivered exactly what was promised — completion on time, even under tight deadlines. I’m genuinely grateful for all Shafa and team's hard work and professionalism. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shafa and Gordon Brown Law to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and supportive conveyancing solicitor.

I used Gordon Brown Law for my house move. I wasn’t sure which law firm to go with as there were so many in my area, so I went with the company my estate agent recommended.
Honestly wish I never did. I found responses were limited and ended up having to go through my estate agent and ask them to chase on my behalf as there was a period when my emails were getting ignored.
Very frustrating when buying a house and paying so much money for a service.
The one positive was that the staff on reception were lovely and very helpful every time I spoke to them.
Sadly, I won’t be using Gordon Brown law again

Great support from Ross throughout process. Always available to answer questions. A stress free sale from start to finish. Would highly recommend these guys.

From start to finish of the sale nothing was too much trouble
Very efficient and helpful with everything
Excellent service

Efficient service Helpful & prompt replies to any queries

The house sale was difficult from the start through various legal obsticules. But Louis worked through them with great patience and effort and made it a less stressful situation. With a excellent understanding of the way forward to resolve the difficulties we had. Always helpful and kind, and humerous when the pressure needed lifted from us. Put our mind at rest. Many thanks again.

Louis provided a great service and was very understandable of my situation. He managed to get the sale through brilliantly taking into consideration the complex circumstances. The finest solicitor I’ve dealt with over the last 30 years and I will be using him again in the near future. Thank you Louis. From Mr RB

Had the pleasure of having Caitlin to guide me through the process of selling my late mums property. Excellent and diligent service who advocated in my interest throughout. Kept well informed through every step. My personal experience with GB law was certainly a positive one and also found there charges very competitive

We have just sold and bought our next house with Gordon Brown. Sara and Kellie were the Conveyancers who handled the transactions and would thoroughly recommend them. Sara and Kellie were both very professional, friendly, and contactable - they kept us informed throughout the process and were always quick to reply to any queries. Thanks

From start to finish it was as a smooth transaction as you could ask for. The customer service was great,with so much of the work done by computer and ,email etc I was very unsure on how to complete it ,but this was no problem to the staff. They made everything easy for myself to complete all the necessary documentation as required. All questions and answers communication that I sent was replied to very quickly.
You were treated with the greatest respect and curtesy at all times whether on the phone or visiting the office .
I would just like to say a very big thank you to all that were involved in this transaction.

Katherine was an excellent solicitor throughout our purchase of a flat. From start to finish, she was responsive, professional, and consistently kind in her communication.

Although the purchase progressed quite quickly, completion was achieved in around three months, which was impressive. At times when the process felt slow or unclear (as conveyancing often does), Katherine was always happy to provide clear updates and reassurance, which we really appreciated.

She was very prompt in replying to emails, and on the occasions when we called for updates or to ask for further information, everyone who answered the phone was genuinely helpful and well-informed. That level of service made a stressful process feel far more manageable.

We felt well supported throughout and would happily recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable and approachable solicitor.

Gordon Brown Law made the whole process as a first time buyer really easy, smooth and stress-free. Ross was fantastic! Great communication, kept us in the loop and was really friendly and professional. Could not have asked for a better experience, thank you!

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Gordon Brown Law during the purchase of my buy-to-let property. From start to finish, everything was handled with utmost professionalism and efficiency.
A special shout-out to Emily Knill, who was absolutely outstanding. She was incredibly prompt in all her communications, always clear and thorough in explaining every step of the process, and kept me fully updated throughout. proactive, and reassuring, making what could have been a stressful experience completely smooth.
Highly recommend the team, and especially Emily – she's a star! Thank you for making my investment purchase so straightforward.

As a first time buyer, Louis and team at Gordon Brown made the process easy and relatively pain free!

My only criticism (& it is minor) is that it would've been nice to have a piece in the "welcome pack" which states what proof of deposit you need, so that when the times comes near the end of the process, you have it all ready and waiting and not have such a rush trying to find all the evidence of the deposit origins.

Would definitely recommend Gordon Brown Law, and would happily use again if I ever need to.

An absolutely terrible service from Gordon Brown Law. Our conveyancer, Lee P was awful from the beginning. He did not want to communicate, reply to messages without being chased numerous times, contact anyone in order to expedite the completion and basically do any work for us. He even at one point said that he was too busy to do anything to move our purchase forward, as he was working on people who were further along…..
He dragged everything out for so long, we ended up homeless for 3 weeks, with 3 children and I was undergoing radiotherapy. We pulled out of our purchase (not Lee’s fault), but if he had done his job properly and actually chased things up, we would have been able to stay in our rental.
I cannot begin to hope that no one else uses this company. They were recommended by L&C and I think they should reconsider offering them as an option.

Purchased a house in June and was advised by a previous solicitor that the house was actually leasehold due to being shared ownership. They were unable to deal as they had nobody available trained so was passed over to Gordon Brown.

I was assigned to Emily who took over my purchase, Emily was very helpful and very patient with me as it was quite a long process (through no fault of Emily) and was causing me quite a bit of anxiety but she was very understanding of my situation.

All in all a very good experience and I am now finally in my new home.

From start to finish they kept me informed all the way and pushed the boat out to make sure it completed in time for Christmas x

Gordon Brown Law have requested that I temporarily remove my review while they investigate the complaints I have raised with their firm.

Pending the outcome of their internal investigation, and subject to whether I consider their findings to be satisfactory, this post will be updated accordingly.

For clarity, I am the client of Gordon Brown Law. I provided the firm with authority permitting my parent to act on my behalf. Any confusion appears to have arisen due to staff annual leave and internal records not being updated.

A review of their own correspondence will confirm that the authority was in place, and that any claim suggesting otherwise is incorrect.

Our offer on the property was accepted on 8 August. As of Thursday afternoon, 18 December, more than four months later, we are still unsure whether completion will take place tomorrow, on the eve of the firm’s Christmas shutdown.

Throughout the process, timelines have repeatedly shifted. We have been given repeated indications that completion was imminent, only for new issues to arise at the last possible moment. Most recently, the mining report was only sent to the lender on Monday, yet we were still told that completion could take place on Friday, despite it being clear that lender approval within this timeframe carried significant risk.

It is now Thursday afternoon, and we remain without clarity. We have been told the matter is currently with a valuer, who cannot be contacted or rushed, meaning there is no way to confirm progress or timescales. Despite this, we have continued to be given hope of completion, which has repeatedly been raised and then left unresolved, offering little to no relief.

Every time we have contacted the firm for answers, our solicitor has been unavailable. We have instead been directed to the support team, whose communication has often felt condescending and dismissive, leaving us feeling unfairly judged for being stressed about circumstances that directly affect our lives.

The emotional toll of this has been overwhelming. The constant cycle of hope followed by uncertainty has left us mentally and physically exhausted. We are relocating and have new jobs starting in January, and due to the ongoing delays, we are now facing the very real possibility that one of us could be left without accommodation, effectively at risk of homelessness.

This situation reflects a wider pattern of poor communication, unrealistic timelines, and a lack of empathy. The prolonged uncertainty has had a profound impact on our mental health, to the extent that friends and colleagues have advised us to seek mental health support due to how severely this process has affected us.

At this stage, this is no longer simply about delay — it is about the failure to manage expectations responsibly, communicate honestly, and recognise the serious real-life consequences for clients

Quite simply, after the service my daughter received through Gordon Brown law, I would honestly say avoid like the plague.
Go and use a local legal firm where you can deal with one professional person that you can visit in person if the need arises. Don’t go down the route of a recommended firm by your broker, in this case L&C mortgages. Very disappointing.
If you want service that you would expect from a legal firm don’t waste your money with Gordon Brown.
No doubt a generic reply will come back saying that I was not their customer. Please note even being given full authority by my daughter to act on her behalf, they don’t accept that. So if you are helping your kids through the process of buying a property GB law is not the firm to go with. Again go local,
Read all the negative reviews and one person stands out, unfortunately for my daughter this is who dealt with her case. If you already have this person, the very best of luck!
