Jawad was the worst solicitor I have ever dealt with.
I'm a law student so I'm aware of what's required of solicitors and Jawad is non compliant with the law, has continuously lied and misled throughout. A solicitor who breaks the law is just horrendous and he also stole from me.
He is now ignoring my message and emails about my complaint.
Avoid this company.

Hello! I am very sorry that the documents sent to this company remained completely unnoticed. We sent them more than a year ago. My father's documents were sent to this company, they called him 2 times and since then there has been silence. It is a pity that in a difficult situation no help was provided and the case was simply put aside. My father is a refugee from Ukraine, and he counted on support, but has not received any response or help so far.
The documents were transferred to Mamed Larsanov.
We hoped for a professional and responsible attitude, but, unfortunately, we encountered a complete lack of feedback and participation.
I would really like to know the reason why there was no reaction.

Multiple mistakes in the course of conveyancing, starting with putting the wrong buyer name on the contract, marking the purchase as "limited company" instead of normal personal purchase of a 1st time house, and lastly by accepting a 5% less deposit on the contract signed by the seller compared to the higher figure transferred to their account and stated on my, the buyer's contract. which I discovered after sale completion when i asked for a copy of the signed contract.
Poor integrity: claiming that "it is a legal rule to put 10% only on the contract but to transfer any amount"
No communication whatsoever with a qualified solicitor from a start to finish. No communication with the paralegal who are not experienced at conveyancing and have made repeated serious mistakes in the sale papers and wasting time and causing more stress to an already stressful process. They don't advise you on the process at all. they don't check documents received from the seller's solicitor and after I reviewed a couple of docs i discovered multiple discrepancies/errors that made me realize i had to fact check every document myself; to discover more issues! They did not stick to the initially agreed time frame although all parties were ready to complete by a specific date and the searches' outcome came back in reasonable time- until i advised i am using a different solicitor to complete, which has prompted them to complete the conveyancing within a week!
Totally monetary driven- They explicitly and shamelessly work against their client's best interest. Only gross negligence and poor integrity can describe their way of working.

Very poor communicator. During the property sale he was very difficult to communicate with, I often had to request things multiple times before a response. Once paid for conveyancing I as a buyer had follow up requirements. Jawad Mahmood simply forwarded my enquiry to the seller solicitor then ignored any further attempt from me to contact him, basically ghosted me. Very unprofessional.

Lack of duty of care, unreachable, unprofessional, my experience with Jawad Mahmood has been very negative, this has been an uphill struggle to recieve updates ,the morgage company, the estate agent, my morgage broker and myself as a client have never been so dissatisfied with a professional service.

Contacted this firm to complete my first house purchase with a mortgage offer from the bank. Kept chasing them every month for six months, I never actually got to speak to the solicitor dealing with my case but left massages with the reception to pass on. Kept emailing about the progress and got similar answer every time “we will follow up with the sellers solicitors” until the mortgage offer time expired. So they took my money and couldn’t do the job, didn’t answer to my requests I don’t know what to call this firm accept what it is….

Completely unprofessional conveyancing.
Kept getting the name wrong of the buyer on the legal documents on 4 occasions, despite being informed.
Kept sending an initial introductory pack 4 or 5 times despite it already being completed, acknowledged it had already been completed then sent it a 6th time!
Failed to get the freehold management pack which I was able to retrieve within 1 hour.
Unable to reach by phone easily and emails inconsistent.
Honestly very very poor.

Slow, unprofessional, lack of attention to detail throughout. I hired Jawad Mahmood for a sale and purchase of a new property, no chain. It took 6 months and 2 failed completion dates cancelled with only hours to go through first time around and 2pm on the day the second time. Both due to omissions on his part. Solicitors acting for the other parties were having to tell him what he needed to do. You can’t get hold of him, he blames others for his errors and couldn’t care less about his clients. In a final act of complete incompetence he left us homeless after completing on the sale and send £14 to short to complete on the purchase he then was uncontactable at 4:30 on a Friday evening. He finally answered my messages the following Monday and blamed the other solicitor! I will be reporting him to the ombudsman. Steer well clear, he should not be practising as he is not capable.

Professional, knowledgeable, prompt, fair priced and supportive.
Only downside is their online registering is a bit of a faff, however that does not spoil their effectiveness.
Would certainly use again

Jawad was the worst solicitor I have ever dealt with.
He never bothered doing any work on my case for weeks which caused a delay from the beginning.
I'm a law student so I'm aware of what's required of solicitors and Jawad is non compliant with the law, has continuously lied and misled throughout. A solicitor who breaks the law is just horrendous and he also stole from me.
He is now ignoring my message and emails about my complaint.

Appalling experience from start to finish please AVOID !!!
Expecting the client to do all the chasing / paperwork etc
Had all my previous sale documents in there possession for 3 days before realising
I had to get planning permission documents because they failed to & said it would take too long
Very very poor communication
Mine was a sale only & the anxiety on my behalf was horrendous
Queried my invoice on completion & still think I was overcharged £150!
My advice is pay a little extra & go elsewhere
I’ve bought & sold many houses in my life & this conveyancing experience has been the worst
I’m glad it’s all over

Appalling. I had to sack them.
They had eight weeks on my case and did not even request searches. The solicitor would never accept or return my calls and did not do one thing in this period despite constant chasing from me.
In their infrequent communications - They asked the same questions over and over again and never took any note of the answers. For some reason they thought I was based in Japan (even though my file / ID /Address clearly showed I was in UK) and they made basic mistakes (asking for residential elements on a commerical transaction). They had no idea what was going on.
