Selling a property

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend HSW, in particular Kerry Irvine when selling your property. Kerry was wonderful from start to finish. She kept me well informed during the process and answered any queries I had promptly. She was very kind and understanding as it was a difficult time for me selling my late mum’s property. I will definitely use HSW for any future legal requirements. Thank you.

I spoke to a lady called Olivia, with regards to contesting my father’s will. I found her rude and unsympathetic. I ended the call within 2O minutes of our 30 minute appointment. Just awful and very upset still, Thank you

A representative from Hall Smith Whittingham LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your review of your experience although we are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service. We have reviewed the conversation and we do not share your view. Sometimes we find that people don't like the advice that we are offering and in emotionally charged situations, unwanted advice can be misconstrued as unsupportive or unsympathetic, when that simply is not the case. The vast majority of our clients are extremely happy with the advice given and service provided, even when the advice is perhaps not what they want to hear, so we are sorry that you do not share that experience. We wish you well with your enquiry.

Poor standards

I instructed Hall Smith Whittingham Solicitors to handle the conveyancing on a property purchase. Unfortunately, the service fell well short of the professional standard reasonably expected. A significant issue was overlooked during the conveyancing process: the absence of necessary planning permission. This was not identified by the firm at the appropriate stage. As a direct result, I was later charged additional fees by the same firm to pursue legal action against the vendor in an attempt to address the problem that had been missed. Subsequent follow-up action was inefficient and slow. Correspondence from the firm was of a poor standard, containing multiple grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. On more than one occasion I had to correct their letters myself for both accuracy and content. Despite this being necessary due to shortcomings on their part, I was charged further fees for the additional work arising from those errors. Overall, the experience left me dissatisfied with both the initial handling of the conveyancing and the firm’s subsequent management of the matter. Prospective clients should carefully consider these shortcomings when selecting a conveyancing solicitor.

Sale of an apartment

For me clarity and detail of communication is important - in its` content and how it is received and acted upon. I cannot rate Claire and her team more highly. This is now my fourth such transaction with Claire at HSW. They deal with complications in a dependable and detailed way and provide timely updates to progress.

I had an amazing experience with Hannah Dee as my conveyancer. She was incredibly kind, supportive, and professional throughout the entire process. As a first time buyer, I had so many questions, but Hannah answered every one of them with patience and never once made me feel silly for asking. She kept me updated every step of the way, making what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. I couldn't have asked for better support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent conveyancer.

Congratulations on your new home!! We are so glad Hannah and her team helped you have a stress free home buying journey. They will be delighted to read your comments. We hope to be of assistance to you again in the future!

I honestly couldn’t have asked for better solicitors. Selling a house is supposed to be one of life’s most stressful experiences, but they somehow made it feel… dare I say… almost easy! They kept me updated throughout, answered every question (and there were plenty because I’m a professionally qualified stress-pants 😂), dealt with everything quickly and efficiently, and were always so friendly and reassuring. I never once felt like I was bothering them, even when my brain was doing panic gymnastics. Everything went through smoothly without a single hitch, and I always had complete confidence that they had everything under control while I was busy imagining every possible disaster that never actually happened! A genuinely lovely team who know exactly what they’re doing and clearly care about their clients. I’ll be recommending them to everyone I know—my mum is next on the list! Thank you for helping me close one chapter and start an exciting new one.

What a wonderful review!! Thank you so much, we are so glad that you had such a great experience! And we look forward to helping your mum!
