Recent TOLATA support

I contacted Susan Howarth & Company back in April 2021 to enquire as to my rights around a jointly owned property that I have remained on the mortgage of for over 10 years without living there. The team have been exemplary in their support of me through sage advice that allowed me to see what I was entitled to and they have guided me through the process from start to finish. They have always offered a wealth of experience, have framed my expectations and been realistic in what my rights are. Communication throughout has been outstanding, and they have been proactive in challenging the other party when needed. The sale of the property completed on the 31st October, an achievement that I am certain would not have happened without the support from Susan Howarth & Company and due to the way in which the firm operates I have paid along the way services meaning no sizable bill at the end. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others as my experience has been a very positive one.

Thank you to all that helped me.

Excellent service, professional staff members, discreet service - I wasn’t made to feel inferior and felt very looked after. Susan Howarth is the first solicitor that I would turn to in future and would also recommend them to anyone needing legal advice and services.

Susan Howarth is a professional, grounded solicitor.

She always gave me realistic, sound advice and guided me through a very difficult period with her years of experience and a touch of sympathy. Susan’s PA and the rest of her staff were always helpful and friendly. Even Alan The Cake Monster!

I have used both Susan Howarth and Emma Stride and would highly recommend them. They keep the fuss to a minimum and really listen to what you want. We are a blended family so nothing is straightforward, but they take the stress out of it every time. House move next, and I will definitely be using them.

Have use Susan Howarth on a number of occasions and the staff are all pleasant and answer any queries promptly. Will use again. I have used these solicitors again to purchase a new home and the staff worked hard to support me through the process.
