Goughs Solicitors Reviews 

Trish Watkins is an angel. Thank you for everything you did. It will never be forgotten.

We used Goughs for a house purchase. The bar for conveyancing solicitors is generally pretty low - for us, the bar was not met.
While I do think they're generally trustworthy & trying to do the right thing, I wouldn't recommend them for anything even vaguely complex or out of the ordinary.

Have used Goughs Melksham 4 times now in 6 months for certification of documents and witnessing a declaration. Each time they have gone out of their way to help me. I am so very grateful for their help and recommend them highly.

I was really pleased with the help received from Goughs in sorting my Mums Will and LPA. Would highly recommend.

Never even bothered to answer my online query…that says a lot about their service to prospective customers.

Awful solicitors. Absolutely avoid and look elsewhere.

I used Goughs to buy and sell properties recently. The communication was great, I always felt fully in the loop. Would highly recommend.

Professional negligence. Professional misconduct. Lying. Over billing. Working without instruction from the client. Failing to act on information provided by the client. Destroying a clients original document without permission. Covering up by all Partners at Goughs for the allegations.
These allegations have been admitted by 2 Partners at Goughs and accepted by all partners at Goughs.
It is my view they broke the law.

These are the allegations i have made against this firm and they have been sent to the Legal Ombudsman and Solicitors Regulation Authority to investigate.

With so many allegations made, with so many admittances of wrong doing by the partners, with a refusal to settle the matter, only to attempt to cover this up, this entire firm will now be investigated by the 2 major bodies that deals with Solicitors.
It might mean certain people are struck off the role, but they were willing to take the risk.
From a simple divorce estimated to cost me between £500 - £1000, i have to date been charged almost £2800. That is because, in their opinion, the divorce was more complicated that first envisaged. What a joke!
Their offer to resolve this, was to offer to dismiss my last bill of £463 and to finish my divorce free of charge. But even that was contradicted by another partner, who offered to carry on, but at the reduced rate of £220ph, a solicitors hourly rate. Who do i believe? None of them. They all lie.
Looking at other reviews, i see responses by Goughs., which are as laughable as what i expect to hear.
I would not recommend this firm to my worst enemy.

I will never ever use Gough Solicitors again. I would never recommend them. Unfortunately I was told to use them by someone who told me they were a good firm who acted quickly. Well they didn't act quickly. They were more expensive. I did a remortgage back in September completed. They have only just this week paid some outstanding money to the Nationwide. They still owe me money which they keep promising to pay and again I'm still waiting. I have told them I will be reporting them to the solicitors Legal Ombudsman.
A lot of chasing five or six months.

We instructed Goughs to act for us in our recent house sale and then subsequent purchase. We instructed Rachael Watkins for both transactions and we couldn't be happier with how attentive she was throughout the process. Rachael provided us with regular updates and was always friendly and helpful in her communication.

We was recommended Goughs, truly professional service, friendly and helpful.
From start to finish the whole process of selling the house flowed smoothly.
Thank you to Catherine and Jess who was excellent

Didnt bother to get in contact with me after sending an email. I know it hit their system as I got an automated message stating they'll get back to me.

I have been at the top of a chain involving Goughs. Hannah Jackson has been a breathe of fresh air, very attentive and highly communicative - keeping me updated. I would highly recommend with working Hannah and Goughs.

I have moved a few times in my years as a home owner and I have to say Goughs were excellent! Donna Linden and team were so helpful and attentive and answered all concerns and questions and made the process a lot less stressful than other experiences. I would highly recommend Goughs!

Elizabeth Stiddard was very kind and helpful dealing with a difficult situation with a family member. Her advice and help at this difficult time was invaluable. I would always recommend Goughs Solicitors. Stacey Gray

Elizabeth was great made my life easy took all the stress off my shoulders pointed me in the right direction would definitely use again thank-you for your support

We cannot recommend Goughs Solicitors practice enough particularly Natalie Kemp.
Natalie genuinely cares and throughout our case kept us constantly updated. She was always realistic and trustworthy with regards to what we could expect and we honestly wouldn’t have got through the last year and a half without her support.
Natalie shows integrity, compassion, patience and is totally non judgmental. She constantly demonstrates her expertise.
You will be in safe hands using Goughs Solicitors.

A divorce and financial settlement is never an easy undertaking, but from the onset Georgina Catlin was both reasurring and professional. Georgina made the whole process straight forward and as painless as possible. She was always quick to respond, deliver and support when required. Her empathy, knowledge and communication skills were very much appreciated. I cannot recommend Georgina and Goughs highly enough.
Much gratitude
Karen

We recently used Goughs for a property purchase and sale. We were very grateful to have Donna looking after our case, at the start of the process she stated she would guide us through the process. Those words stuck with me as that is exactly what she did. Donna and Goughs provided an extremely friendly, professional service. First class

A very professional and attentive service. Answered my questions quickly and provided excellent advice and guidance.
