We are not to happy as nothing has been done no one has been in contact with us about the repairs that badly need doing
Never again!
The person who was handling my case changed three times. The last one I was allocated couldn't speak to me on my phone as it was faulty on the day he rang me. By the next day he had put in my claim without even emailing me that he was going to do so. He had little knowledge of the issues but went ahead anyway. I fully expected to be awarded several thousand pounds but recieved £295. The issues are still unresolved; my bathroom ceiling is still down, my garden is still full of sewage etc., and this ridiculous state of affairs has been going on since September 2025. Not happy.
Gowings made my landlord respond to my longstanding issue
I was approached by a third party regarding a disrepair at my home that my social landlord had neglected and once Gowings had been in contact the landlord quickly swung into action. However, the issue is still not completely resolved, but I do feel that nothing would have happened if Gowings had not acted on my behalf.
Keeping me updated
Keeping me updated, just waiting on a window to close so work can commence. All good so far :)
Good news
Good news, things are getting better and better.
Growing Solicitors have supported me regarding the house disrepair and my landlord had finally agreed to repair my property.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I've been waiting almost 2 years to write this review, as I wanted to make sure the conveyancing case is finally closed and confirmed.
Please read it all. I usually write only positive reviews, because I understand that sometimes things can go wrong. But this is not the case here.
What can I say about ? AVOID AT ABSOLUTELY ANY COST – ESPECIALLY JONATHAN!!
I didn't have a single positive interaction with them. It started with delays in the buying process, which pushed the whole transaction back by a few weeks. The reason for that was the case being moved between different case handlers who clearly did not communicate with each other. I had to explain everything again and again from the beginning.
They were not able to send a simple email confirming acceptance of the offer to the estate agency, despite plenty of emails, calls and even a few visits to the office. Because of that, the other side could not issue their documents, which directly caused further delays.
Jonathan W. is the most unprofessional and incompetent worker I have ever dealt with. He ignored my issues and concerns, was not able to give me any clear answers or guidance, and failed to handle basic communication properly. He could not write appropriate emails to the other side and also failed to prepare and send me the Land Registry letter.
I contacted them again recently, around 1.5 years after I moved in, only to be told that the original letter had been posted to me in October 2025. As confirmation, I received a letter written and signed by Jonathan confirming the end of the process — but the date on the letter was 23.04.2026, not October 2025.
This means I never received the original documentation from Land Registry, and Gowlings failed to complete this properly.
You're paying them a horrendous amount of money and you're left on your own. It is hard to understand how this company has such good reviews.
I am not here to theorise — I am here for facts. And the facts are simple: Gowlings failed at every single stage of my conveyancing process. Before the transaction, during it (causing delays due to basic actions not being completed), and after completion.
I would probably never have received my Land Registry documentation if I had not chased them again myself.
I was very happy with the service
I was very happy with the service that I have received and happy that the jobs will be done in my flat,if Gowing law had not had helped me I would have been still waiting for the council to do the works, thanks again
Liars you lied to me at the start then I…
Well you lied to me at the start then I was told the truth and I wish you had never knocked my door is all this was about was you getting money
Don't let these people damp test your home.
We live in rented social housing and last year, Tuesday 29th July 2025, representatives of this firm were knocking on doors to see if tenants had problems with damp. They wanted to do tests to get things improved and possible compensation. We have damp so gave them access. It took about an hour and they said we had a good case. They left leaving numerous small holes in the walls from the device they used for testing. They didn't ask permission for this.
We didn't hear anything back for months. Earlier this year we emailed them twice and they never replied. We then telephoned them for an update. We spoke to a receptionist who said we didn't qualify. We said we were unhappy about their lack of communication and the holes in the walls but she didn't offer for us to speak to anyone else.
We accept that we didn't qualify for the scheme and that is not the issue. We are unhappy that they had no intention of keeping us informed, answering emails or that they left loads of holes in our walls.
Avoid them if they call at your home. They are complete users and totally lacking in courtesy.
They where very helpful and explained…
They where very helpful and explained everything step by step kept informed was sorted out very quickly from start to finish thank you
DO NOT USE THIS SOLICITOR!
I had a case running for months, lots of evidence of negligences domestically, then they did not take the case to court, they verbally said over the phone "we promise you the money, about £1000" and then did not get the report they needed, refused to get a different surveyor, or back up the case proceeding. A waste of my time and should have used another damages solicitor.
Absolutely Awful Company - AVOID THIS COMPANY!
Absolutely Awful Company! Do not go with them for any repair claims! My claim has been going on for nearly 2 years now. They're communication is awful, they 'send' letters you never receive, never get back to you after emailing or calling. And then to top it off want to accept a ridiculous offer and tell me its up to them! Absolutely disgusting that they cant communicate and keep you informed, you have to accept a ridiculous offer after bringing your claim to them and letting them in your home! AWFUL
