Gaddes Noble Property Lawyers

Lee and his team were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I was recommended Gaddes Noble via a friend after having a few 'slow' house sales and purchases. These guys were swift and efficient, price was brilliant and I would not hesitate to recommend them myself now! Excellent!!

Very slow progress throughout the conveyancing. Received demand for stamp duty which should have been paid. Land registry is still not updated. No replies to contact form or emails to PM Law. Have contacted land registry to get more information. Seems they do not care once they have your business they will take their own time to do things unless they just don't bother at all

Terrible is an understatement. I nearly had my house sale fall through. Constantly had to pester them to get things moving. But it's been a busy period for solicitors - I hear you say. The mistakes they made were in my opinion clearly to do with incompetence and not caring.

Avoid this practice !After 2.5 years Gaddis Noble are still unable to achieve the objective of legal ownership by obtaining deeds from land registry. This should have been a simple conveyancing transaction. There is no sign of any desire to resolve this case. They are unwilling or unable to do what they were paid to do. All fees were paid in full, on time, and to add insult to injury, a charge of £300 was invoiced twice, after the first payment had already been made.Incompetent:Lost documents . Papers signed by a witness , submitted and then lost. Only became apparent after another time delay and when challenged, the papers had to be signed and witnessed a second time, causing more stress and delay to the client.Unprofessional:They are dismissive of all attempts to resolve the problem. The case has been mishandled from the start and when when enquiring as to progress, the client is passed around to various unqualified staff. They show little interest and no single person takes responsibility to resolve the case . They are either unwilling or unable to obtain the deeds from the Land Registry .Unhelpful and Lazy:When questioned they avoid any engagement and make excuses and platitudes without making any attempt to resolve the issue.The client has had to call the Local authority and the Land Registry and each case they place the blame for missing documentation with the Conveyancer.Obstructive:They actively prevent you speaking to someone in higher authority within the practice to raise concerns .DishonestCasual attitude to an instance of overcharging . Dismissing offhandedly the £300 double charging incident as a misunderstanding .Lied about reasons for the delay . Excuses given include :-CovidStamp duty changes and a rise in demand.Over worked land registryLocal Authority bureaucracyWhen checked , all the above were untrue . The reason for the delays were entirely due to the incompetence of Gaddis NobleNegligent:They have not made any effort to resolve the issue despite the obvious deleterious effects this is having on their clientFraudulent:Lied about the situation claiming the delay was with local authority .They never return calls despite numerous messagesWe STILL haven’t received the Deeds after 2.5 years!It’s an ongoing battle -we have now brought in another firm of solicitors to resolve this .

Worst experience with a solicitor ever.If i could give 0 stars i would. Had to de instruct them before we lost our buyer.After instructing in November and initial comms to be fairly quick and welcome pack filled in. They did virtually nothing for 2 months. 4 weeks before replies to emails, nobody available on the phone. Ignoring repeated requests from myself, housing association staff, estate agents and buyers solicitors.Absolutely 0 customer service and 0 duty of care to clients.Our new conveyancer has done more on our case in 24 hours than they did in 3 months. Avoid at all costs.

Would never use again, slow, rude, no communication, Sue is incredibly rude with her huffing and puffing at you down the phone if you dare to question the process or how long something is taking. Paulette never seems to actually be at work and or is working from home'' and can't be contactable. Once we kicked off about not been kept in the loop the communication did improve slightly to an almost acceptable standard. Spend your money elsewhere with a company that cares."

We have used Gaddes Noble for many years with our many house purchases & sales & and I would strongly recommend them. They are professional however friendly, efficient, reliable & extremely cost effective from a financial point of view. We will never use anyone else & will always recommend them to our family, friend & colleagues.Best wishes Maggie & Richard.

Absolutely awful, never responded to emails and were impossible to get through to on the phone.Repeatedly sent my personal information (including name, DOB, bank details, home address) to an incorrect email address and just shrugged it off when I raised it as an issue.Everything was done digitally" which actually means they email everything to you and you have to print it off and scan it back. I requested documents to be posted out to me and was told they couldn't because of covid concerns.I also had a situation where the sellers had incorrectly filled in the fixtures and fittings form saying that they were excluding the fitted kitchen. I raised this (couldn't believe that the solicitor didn't pick it up

After years of trying to find reliable solicitors for often time sensitive property deals, we finally came across Gaddes Noble. Since then we haven't looked back, putting a number of deals through them, both for ourselves and for our clients.Joe is incredibly helpful and has never let us down. Often working under serious time pressure with distressed purchases in order to get the legals through in as little as 2 weeks in some cases.We will continue to work with and recommend our clients to them as we believe them to be the best property lawyers in the business!

Avoid! Would give 0 stars if possible. I had what could be one the most straight forward house purchases possible. I had no chain and a was a cash buyer (could easily prove money wasn't laundered etc), the seller also had no chain, no complications with boundaries etc. Despite this the sale took 7 months. Whenever I called for updates I was always told by reception that they were busy and someone would call me back, they never did. The receptionist was rude and didn't care about any concerns raised over lack of contact. They repeatedly ignored emails when I tried that instead. Didn't do anything to chase the other solicitors when we were waiting for info/documents, that always fell to myself and the estate agent. Who knows how long it would have taken if it had been left to them to progress things without intervention. Repeatedly spelt my name as Nicola not Nicole on key documents and in their emails to me, even after I'd pointed out this wasn't my name (unbelievably unprofessional when dealing with legal ownership of property and also just common courtesy when in correspondence with your own client). For example, information sent to HMRC was in the name Nicola, which I've had to correct myself. Didn't send off stamp duty payment on time so I got several warnings from HMRC about non payment over many weeks after the sale had finally gone through. 6 months later I've had to enquire with Land Registry myself when I found the register was still not updated, who state that they haven't heard anything about the sale which is why the old owners are still shown on the registry. Absolutely horrible to deal with, do not use this firm! I can evidence every single thing I've mentioned above.
