The staff were very helpful and were…great
The staff were very helpful and were available when needed.. I think the process with new buyers require patience with the technical jargon used inthe letters etc but most stuff was explained and I felt looked after.

I’ve recently sold my property using Gordon brown LF and Rebecca Saunders was my contact at Gordon brown and she couldn’t have been any better, the sale was held up at my buyers side and Rebecca pushed them hard all the way to the sale through.
Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Excellent work Gordon brown/ Rebeca Saunders.

We were recommended GBLF, and we are so pleased we were!
We were assigned Michelle Meikle, and a what a true hero she is. We instructed GBLF for both sale and purchase, and too say we have had the odd hiccup with trying to secure a purchase is an understatement!
None of this GLBF’s fault, in-fact they’ve been faultless and refreshingly understanding. Following a successful completion we now persevere with our purchase.
GBLF is what great conveyancing is all about. Highly recommended!

Reliable and Efficient
Having heard stories of solicitors dragging their heals by other first time buyers, we were reccommended GBLF by our mortgage advisor. They kept in contact on a regular basis by phone and by email, explaining everything clearly along the way. We would very likely use them again in the future.

Thanks to Gordon Brown Law firm in particular Michelle Meikle who was extremely ‘patience’ with lack of understanding of all the jargon used when selling a property. She made the whole experience seamless and worry free. I would recommend this law firm .

Gordon Brown Law Firm Chester le Street
Kate Bell at the Gordon Brown Law Firm Chester le Street branch helped me, a clueless first time buyer, through the purchase of my house. Kate was quick to reply to my emails, called with anything urgent and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend to others.

I can honestly say that Gordon Brown Law Firm are great to work with. I have used them twice now and each time they have been so professional, graceful, and understanding. Peter Durham in particular has been an absolute legend in getting my sale and purchase through. No question from me was ever too stupid (I hope!) and he was always contactable. Would definitely use GBLW in the future and recommend to others.

Awful from start to still not finish
Awful from start to still not finish
Instructed Gordon Brown Law Firm Chester le Street to act on our behalf to help with our conveyancy and having never sold a house before my partner and I assumed using the people who dealt with the purchase of the house when my partner would make it a smooth and easy process how wrong was I.
We are over 2 months in now and not a completion date in sight , they don`t return calls have now lost some paperwork that they need to progress the sale of the property.
It has now caused us to loose our completion date deadline because of the incompetency of Gordon brown law firm at a cost to ourselves all I can hope is that people read this review and never use these people to save themselves all the hassle , stress and money lost.
