Sale of a property

When we were looking for someone to deal with the sale of our property Tracey Crolla was recommended to us. Luckily it was an excellent recommendation and we never looked back. From the start to the completion she was attentive in all the matters even when things were not straightforward.

Fantastic support in the sale of London Flat

Laura has been brilliant throughout the sale of my leasehold flat in London. She guided us through the complexities of the leasehold transfer process and the requirements for demonstrating compliance with the Building Safety Act. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness made a potentially stressful process much easier to manage. I would highly recommend Laura and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Tracey Gibbons

When it comes to review Tracey’s help a word of thank is not enough. I live on rental income and deal with mortgages and re-mortgages regularly. As financial procedures and requirements get more and more stringent, the legal side of the borrowing has become vitally important as nowadays missing an expiry date could mean a monthly interest payment of four digits on flexible rate. That is why ever since I met Tracey I forgot how many years ago I always go back to her whenever I need my own solicitor. It is not easy to explain why I feel so good and what she has done right. Maybe it is her attitude to her work and general approach to her customer: caring and considerate but totally professional and business-like. I have worked with many solicitor firms over the years and most of them are quite good but only Tracey has given me this both reliable and comfortable feeling, so much so that each time when my case is with her I am really entirely carefree and do not worry about anything. It is the kind of impersonal personal trust which only real quality can generate. I have followed Tracey to HCR and would go with her to no matter where.

Alison Mannas provided clear reporting and advice throughout the conveyancing for our recently completed purchase. We particularly appreciate the single point of contact and her prompt response to messages and queries. We will be happy to instruct her for another transaction should the need arise.

I recently worked with Arran Bhatti on the purchase of my first home, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. What started as a straightforward mortgage quickly turned into a more complicated process involving a bridging loan, which made things significantly more challenging and time-consuming. Throughout it all, Arran’s expertise and professionalism were invaluable. From the very beginning, he made me feel at ease, explaining each step of the process clearly and guiding me through the complexities with confidence. His thorough understanding of the situation and commitment to finding solutions were greatly appreciated - even with the difficult company that we had. Despite the unexpected hurdles, Arran ensured the process was handled efficiently and effectively, resulting in a successful outcome. I’m extremely pleased with the support I received and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor. I had previously used him for a commercial property and will 100% be using him and HCR firm again in the future!

A representative from HCR Legal LLP responded to this review

We're pleased to hear that Arran and the team were able to assist with the purchase of your first home, Mahira. We will be sure to pass on your positive feedback regarding their communication and professionalism. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review and we look forward to working with you on any future transactions.

I recently had the pleasure of working with HCR Law on the sale of a business in London, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. Both the Corporate and Real Estate teams collaborated seamlessly, navigating the complexities of the transaction with speed and efficiency — despite delays from the other side. In particular, Parmjit Bhogal provided exceptional service and is hands down one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with. His professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to getting the deal done ahead of schedule made all the difference. I highly recommend HCR Law for any business transaction.

Absolute shambles when we remortgaged with Wright Hassall. Having to chase them all the time, staff leaving someone else always dealing with the case. There were things they should have completed when we remortgaged with them 2 years ago that they did not do which caused us an issue this time around. We have complained with a very weak response. I would NOT recommend them at all. If there was an option for no stars I would do this.

Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the service and response to your complaint. Your options, should you wish to take this further, have been outlined in the complaint response provided to you. Thank you.

Smooth handling of leasehold flat sale

We chose HCR, and specially Alison, to handle the sale of our flat after an incredibly positive experience with them during our house purchase. As with the purchase, we were kept informed throughout the process, and Alison handled all the paperwork with high attention to detail. Where there were enquiries made by the buyer, Alison helped us understand what the solicitor was needing from us, and kept us informed every step of the way about the legal implications of any replies. This sale included dealing with a company handling Ground Rent and another handling the Service Charge - and Alison made everything complete smoothly including settling out charges from these companies. She also facilitated a very fast (24 hour!) turnaround from exchange to completion once everything was in place. We were once again impressed with Alison and HCR and would look to appoint them in future legal matters.

My experience with HCR Law was mixed. There were some positive aspects and the transaction ultimately completed, but communication and follow-through were significant sources of frustration. Reviewing my correspondence, I identified at least five emails for which I could find no substantive written response, covering at least eight separate questions or actionable requests that were not clearly answered or completed in writing. On one particularly time-sensitive occasion, I had emailed the previous day and telephoned twice without a response, despite needing to exchange that week. I was also repeatedly asked to clarify or resupply financial information that HCR already held. On several occasions I explained that the relevant account statements and source-of-funds information had already been provided, but I was nevertheless required to go through the information again. Account administration after completion was particularly frustrating. HCR chased for money paid in June, the month after, when I provided the payment date and supporting statement again in July, and by September had to ask HCR to stop contacting me regarding monies already paid. We will see if they respect this now. I was also disappointed by the handling of specific instructions that mattered financially. These included my request to establish whether I could buy the blinds at the property and my instruction to seek a £10,000 reduction in the purchase price, following information found in the surveys. I believed this had been taken through to the sellers but it had not, which I only realised too late in the day ti challenge. From my perspective, these matters were not followed through adequately and this left me financially worse off. There were occasions when useful advice was provided, particularly around legal enquiries and the risks of proceeding without sufficient information. However, I felt that I had to monitor, chase and manage too much of the process myself. Better record-keeping, clearer responses and stronger ownership of client instructions would have made a considerable difference, as well as handover when holidays we taken. The process was a lot more painful than it needed to be, especially at the end. Verbatum: At least five emails to HCR for which I could find no substantive written response: 19 March 2026: I asked whether an end-of-April completion date was possible. 23 March 2026: I asked for an update on searches and timelines. 20 May 2026: I asked whether the relevant action could be completed that week or by the following Tuesday. Multiple requests for monies already paid: 10 June 2026: I replied to an account statement saying, “I believe these have been paid?” They did not respond, they then requested the money again. 13 July 2026: I explained that the charges had been paid on 26 May and attached the statement. They did not respond. Further account correspondence followed in September. 10 September 2026 I replied “Please stop emailing me regarding monies already paid”. They have again failed to respond.

I had a fantastic experience with HCR Law my immigration process. The team was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely supportive from start to finish. They made what could have been a stressful and complicated process feel much more straightforward and manageable. Thanks Dionne! I really appreciated their attention to detail, clear communication, and willingness to answer all my questions. The support I received gave me confidence and peace of mind during the entire process.

Used Sarah Loveridge for the sale and purchase of property. She was a consummate professional throughout, despite having to deal with some less that competent solicitors in the chain. Can't recommend her highly enough. She also dealt with the sale of my brother's property and he had a similar experience
