New beginnings

Stephen is a most patient and considerate practitioner with gentleness in his diligence and efficiency . In matters of conveyancing the stakes are high and it’s a significant time which made me appreciate all points of contact with staff members as his colleagues.

Property sale

From start to finish our property sale went smoothly. Stephen's experience shone through, with prompt responses to any queries we had and regular updates. We also really appreciated how efficient his assistant Elouise was. Thanks guys

Property Sale

I have used Howells Law and particularly Stephen Taylor for 2 property sales and a purchase. I can highly recommend him. Stephen has a wealth of knowledge and experience in his field, is professional, approachable and explains everything clearly and in understandable language. He always responds to emails and phone calls and is very reassuring. The whole team at Howells Law are exceptional and I would highly recommend them. Thank you for your excellent service.

Right to buy purchase

Stephen was brilliant throughout the process. Dealt with every issue presented by the council. A stressful process made less stressful by Stephen.

A easy and simple experience with Howells. I used their services to purchase the freehold on my property. At every stage they were professional, communicated with me well. The transaction completed in good time, and they were transparent throughout. Would be more than happy to use them again. Thanks all!

A close friend recommended Howells to me as they had dealt with the conveyancing of his property. They also had a competitive quote, lower than some others I'd seen so I was happy to instruct them in regards to the conveyancing of my own first home. My solicitors were Pauline (who has since left Howells) and Caroline (who has since changed department). Had they been my solicitors the entire way through this would have been a 1 or 2 star review. Pauline was doing the work correctly but her communication with us was awful. I try to avoid ringing solicitors constantly for updates as they need to get on with the job. However, in 4 months I'm not sure if I spoke to Pauline even once. No introductory phone call, few updates. Every time I rang I couldn't get through and didn't get a call back. My emails were often not responded to. Caroline was incompetent, ignoring my mortgage broker and not dealing with simple issues. My mortgage lender took 3 months to get some documents through to the solicitors but to this day I'm not sure whether it was the lender not sending them or Howells not looking for them properly. Then things all changed. I was told that Pauline and Caroline had left. Emma Burnham started dealing with my case as an interim and she got the documents sorted, was so much more helpful and responsive and actually took accountability. She actually seemed to care and would pick up the phone or call me back and keep me in the loop. Then Stephen Taylor took over our case and was brilliant. Made us feel like we were his only clients. Communicative, pleasant and efficient. Made the whole process easy and changed my perception completely. No stress, plenty of updates and just professional, honest work. On that basis, since Stephen and Emma are still handling conveyancing and Pauline and Caroline aren't, I'm happy to recommend Howells. I should also add that everyone on the reception in Sheffield (Bridge Street) and on reception over the phone were lovely. All the work done correctly and we're grateful that we've now completed on our home.

I want to say thank you to Rosamund and an even bigger thank you to her assistant Stacey who assisted me in the purchase of my property. I did have a few problems at the start with communication but Stacey was very helpful, replied to all emails promptly and always kept me informed. I would recommend Howells to my friends and family. Thank you all.

Purchased a house through them, Stacey Thompson was a very helpful assistant who made the process much better, as provided communications and feedback on the process. The actual solicitor was quiet, but presume they are busier or just delegate to their assistants! In all I was surprised how well they did and was completed with 2 months.
