I definitely would not recommend.
I have been trying to complete a simple remortgage and the service has been shocking.
I have sent emails and messages via the app which don’t get acknowledged.
I have to say of all the years I have been doing purchases and remortgages this is my worst experience to date.
There is no form of urgency or customer service.
All documents that have been requested of myself have been sent back within 24hrs.
Just to be told the process which was started in October will likely be completed next year.
SHOCKING
Avoid this company
Doesn’t deserve the one star

Gorvins have just completed our move, it has taken 6 months, at first due to our buyers. Gorvins initially worked very fast, to complete searches ect. Then we had a long period of not being able to contact them, no recorded messages on phones, or alternate resprestative offered to us. Apparently this was due to covid. Then towards the end of the process they picked up spread again, only to be obstructed by other solicitors. Apart from not providing us with information or providing alternative contacts for several weeks they did a reasonable job. Miss Amjad herself was very pleasant, and helpful

Had a brilliant experience as first time buyers with Gorvins as our conveyencers. We managed to complete in about 6-7 weeks, the app was great for letting us know what we had to do and next steps.
The only slight issue we had was right at the start when our appointed conveyencer went on holiday and I think our case wasn't passed on to someone else to handle while she was away which meant there was a slight delay in getting the process started and we had to chase up.
However, our case ended up being moved to Firas and he was really efficient and helped us complete very quickly - thank you so much

Case handler would reply to 1 in 3 emails, rarely addressing the questions/points raised. Never once did she actually speak to us over the phone.
Attentiveness slightly improved before she went on annual leave, unannounced, a couple of days before the exchange was planned.
We relied heavily on our estate agent for updates and to chase them for information and clarity.
The portal used (Digital Move) was useless- no messages responded to and we received daily notifications that we needed to pay for the search fees for 3 months.
Would not recommend based on this experience.

Absolute worst solicitors in the UK, do not use, no matter how cheap they are! Pay more and get a better service!
Took 4 1/2 months to complete a simple purchase with no chain, mortgage offer issued in a few weeks, solicitors took 4 months to complete legal process!
Once eventually completed, the mortgage company issued a cashback of £1,000 with mortgage funds, Gorvins kept this money for over a month, should have been issued to us on day of completion.
Nobody takes ownership, nobody returns emails or calls, use this firm at your peril!!

Gorvins is absolutely horrendous. Appalling service. You can’t get hold of anyone. I’ve emailed the partners and heard noI appointed them in November, it is now August and what I paid them to do still hasn’t been done so my house sale has been majorly delayed. Barely get replies from the solicitor, things are only done when I finally get hold of him to push things forward. It’s not worth the stress. Currently contacting the legal ombudsman. Do not use them!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
I purchased my first home with Gorvins and they made the process very easy for me to understand. Any questions I had I had the option to direct message my solicitor through there app which i liked. Chloe Linsley was my appointed solicitor and she was great, very professional. I would definitely use Gorvins again!
