GLP Solicitors (Prestwich) - Manchester

Norman Wilcock

From a friends recommendation, GLP conducted my family's probate case after mother passed away. The process was effectively and efficiently completed. Kept up to date with the various stages before everything was done. Attended the office on at least 3 occasions and found the staff to be polite and professional. Thank you.

Very professional, attentive and thorough. We had contact at all stages of our house purchase, with helpful information provided at every step. Everything went smoothly, and we managed to complete in two months - very happy!

Graham Green

Very professional service - again!
Another legal situation dealt with very effectively.
Have used GLP about 6 times in last 10 years - each occasion has brought excellent advice & support throughout.
Won’t be looking elsewhere for legal help.

I've worked with GLP Prestwich twice for conveyancing in the past 12 months and have nothing but the highest praise for their service. Ruth Shaw, Jen Taylor and the staff were fantastic to deal with. Everything was completed with the minimum of fuss. I was kept updated at all stages of the process and the office was only too happy to take calls or respond quickly to emails. A great firm with a great service at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended.

Used Martin from GLP for conveyancing services and unfortunately do not recommend for several reasons.

1. Was not kept up to date throughout the process, felt like I was doing the chasing and work but still needing to pay someone. Annoying!
2. They completely forgot about one of my properties that I had been quoted on, it was only when the final bits where being done I questioned it and he said “you should have reminded me” ermmm no that’s your job that I am paying you for.
3. I understand quotes and final figures can differ but felt like they completely made up a lot of the extra figures and when questioned I was owed some money back, if I didn’t notice would I have got it back, who knows.
4. The receptionist is so unnecessarily rude, if you don’t like your job then please leave.
5. Previous owner left a lot of rubbish in the house which I paid to have removed, solicitors were supposed to bill the previous owner, never heard a thing since.
6. The house we bought had planning permission granted - solicitor advised us we have until 2027 to start the work, later found out from my own research it’s 2025.

Besides all of this communication is terrible, quite old fashioned style of working. Wouldn’t recommend.

We received a fantastic service from Ruth Shaw and her team.
Efficient, professional, direct, fair, responsive and supportive.
Special thanks go to Melissa and Jennifer .
We would totally recommend this team for any conveyancing business and we would have no hesitation at using their service again.
Thank you.

Absolute jokers. 7 months to write a will. Pathetic. Numerous broken promises when it comes to time frames. Just been stringing us along for over half a year. Now we’ve had to start again at a different solicitors. What a waste of our time. Avoid at all costs unless you love having your time wasted, in which case, you’ve come to the right firm. I actually can’t believe how incompetent this lot are, it would be funny if it weren’t so tragic.

If you want to be belittled then GLP Prestwich is the place to go.

I have been in the property industry for over 10 years and dealt with a vast number of Solicitors during that time. GLP is, without doubt, the worst company I have used.

My case was dealt with by Martin Cohen, his approach to me was rude and self righteous. He continually spoke down to me and I also witnessed his young members of staff being treated the same way in front of customers. I was that annoyed I put a complaint in - the response form the MD was shocking to say the least. He wrote about how my property business was 'just 24 months old' and he completely backed up Martin Cohen with his actions (what they didn’t seem to realise is that most of properties are ran through my Self- assessment for tax purposes rather than Companies House so they are not visible online !

Clearly a culture of self-importance and ageism.
