Gothardrowe Reviews 

I first made contact with Julie after my partner passed away unexpectedly. We lived together in a council house and during this time, there was a very real potential that I would lose our home. However, Julie has been amazing and I have been able to remain in our family home. Without Julie's help, I do not know what my family and I would have done. Julie dealt directly with the council and handled every aspect of this in order to allow my family and myself to grieve without the worry of loosing the house. Because of Julie, my family can begin to heal in our family home. Julie is fantastic and we could never thank her enough for all of her help during this process.

I had a fantastic experience working with Julie. Her depth of knowledge and industry experience has been incredibly valuable to me, especially in helping me navigate and grow my Rent to Rent business.

Julia took the time to clearly explain the upcoming changes around the Renters’ Rights Act 2026, breaking down what it means in practical terms and how to prepare ahead of time. This insight has been hugely important in making sure my business stays compliant and future-proof.

She’s approachable, professional, and genuinely invested in helping others succeed. I’d highly recommend Julia to anyone involved in property or looking to stay ahead of regulatory changes.

Julie has been absolutely outstanding. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and approachable, and she guided me through a difficult tenant dispute with deposits with ease. She explained everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and provided practical advice that led to the matter being resolved quickly and fairly. I felt completely supported throughout the process and couldn’t have asked for better service. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone needing expert help with tenancy issues.

Was great talking to Julie. Very patient on the phone, and always gives an honest independent approach to questions and answers. I would highly recommend Julie for any landlord questions and concerns across the industry. Thank you Julie.

I had a highly sensitive and difficult situation with a tenant, and as an experienced landlord, I required a sensible, sensitive, confidential chat with someone I trust, and who knows the legal situation and options inside out. Julie Ford was fast to respond, compassionate but got straight to the core of the issue. She pointed out the areas which are - and are not - the responsibilities of all parties, and the likely steps forward in dealing with both the local authority council, the tenant and the courts. Outcome: I was immediately reassured and 100% clear on the current and prospective positions. Following the next steps, we have reached an agreement which all parties are happy with. 100% recommend Julie.

Julie you know your field. You were refreshing like a really good cup of tea. We spoke on the phone.
We are Landlords with rogue tenants causing us immense anxiety. We initially used a Law Society. You may want to consider Gothardrowe, instead of Law societies whose students, in some instances, lack knowledge, experience and so advise with caution. Thank you Gothardrowe for being positive, reassuring, clarifying and confirming, correcting and being available. Thank you for the further recommendations that we can choose from to assist us in accelerating the possession order.

When my landlord passed away, I was really worried about where I stood regarding the property I was renting off him so I turned to Julie for some advice and help and she guided me through all the process that needed to be done. Without her help and advice I would not of known what to do but now after two years everything is finally settled and I can sleep at night without worry about my accommodation. I am so grateful for her help and I would highly recommend Julie

Julie helped me realise that our solicitor was jeopardising the risk that we were escalating the matter to court, when our solicitor’s stance was WRONG on deposit law. The tenants were offering a fair settlement and we could of paid a very big price.

Very clear and concise guidelines. Very quick to respond and help and very knowledgeable. Impressive service and would highly recommend

Can't recommend more highly. It can be a lonely place as a private landlord, when you are faced with a nightmare tennant. I had so many questions I couldn't find answers for and Julie was able to clearly and concisely help me to work out a plan going forward. Thankyou so much!

I needed advice as i was representing myself in Court following a challenged from a Judge re Accelerated Possession Order regarding a CP12 Gas Cert
I was given swift professional advice which allowed me to challenge this.
The phone call fee was very reasonable, friendly and practical.
The Judge at Possesion order hearling agreed with the evidence i presented and ordered a PO.
Having the correct information from Gothardrowe made be feel confident in representing myself, i would not hesitate to use this service again or recommend to others.

I found myself as an experienced landlord in a situation where I was out of my depth and needed support and guidance delivered in a time efficient way - and someone then introduced me to Julie. Julie is knowledgeable around anything to do with deposit disputes. She responded promptly and kept me up to date and managed not only the legal situation but me too - I experienced anxiety and am also autistic - Julie adapted her approach appropriately and the outcome has been the best it could. So very appreciative of all your help - knowledge is key here - you were fantastic. I am so grateful to the person who suggested you to me.

Julie from Gothardrowe is a top notch legal property professional that has in depth knowledge about the legalities around the penalties surrounding the shorthold tenancy scheme that could hurt the landlords financially and how to best reduce the financial losses. Prior to approaching Julie we contacted several other solicitors that declared that it is a failed case and refused to take it up which was a major shock to us. We somehow managed to hear about Julie eventually and when contacted her, she provided us with all the required moral support throughout and assured us by explaining the legal intricacies involved and see how best to keep the damage to a miniumum and did help us close the deal amicably. I will 200% recommend her service to any vulnerable landlord that is facing a legal penalty for overlooking such schemes. Many thanks for all your help Julie. God bless.

A month of silence, follow up upon follow up, no reply. Refunded in the end but left without a solution for 1 month. She did say she had to fire someone in her team, but she did not apologise or acknowledge in any way the incovenince caused. She look at one of the two items she has invoiced for.

Great support by Julia , thank you so much !

Julie provides such a valuable service and is extremely knowledgeable. Julie is also a lovely person to work with and can do everything I'm rubbish at.

Julie is one of the most knowledgeable experts I know in the property sector. She is friendly, approachable and genuine. I would highly recommend her! What a superstar!

My letting agent for an Assured Shorthand Tenancy(AST) failed to protect the tenants deposit in the authorised protection scheme (of which the agents were a member) within 30days.

The tenants solicitor wrote to the Letting Agents who ignored the communication. As Landlord I received a demand from the solicitors for three times the monthly rental or court proceedings under section Section 213 of the Housing Act 2004 .

I contacted Julie Ford at Gothard Rowe Landlord Services. Her immediate advice and response was invaluable. Julie kept in touch with me as I responded to the tenants solicitors, Julie advising me on the law and stated cases in respect of this matter.

As Landlord the law is clear, I had a vicarious liability under the act but with Julie's expert help I was able to reduce the cost to me significantly.

Julie, in particular, and Gothard Rowe provided an excellent service which I would recommend to all landlords when faced with the vagaries of being a responsible Landlord. This was not an expensive service but essential to reducing the claim against me.

Thank you so much for your reassurance and advice, it was first class.
