Kind and professional throughout

We would highly recommend Christine and her lovely assistant Holly - we were first time buyers with a few tricky little nuances with our situation- from the moment we first spoke to Christine she was warm, funny and knowledgeable and just put you straight at ease. She was always contactable, super responsive and we felt she was very much on our side. House purchase went through in less than 12 weeks from start to finish and everytime a problem came up Christine already knew about it and was sorting it - I felt happy telling everyone "I'm sure Christine is handling it" no matter what they needed. Holly is also a kind and thoughtful support- we would always recommend them both.

First Class Conveyancing

We had two apartments that we sold and with them being leasehold they were more complex. However Hewitts (Karen Dove) provided a seamless service and helped us with advice which was outside of the actual conveyancing which was very much appreciated.

Excellent service

I used Hewitts for conveyancing and the service was great. Good communication and they managed to progress to completion within a tight deadline. I was clear on what was required in regards to documentation and their prompt feedback allowed me to act quickly and follow up.

Extremely slow and stressful when moving house Hewitts didn't help matters in the slightest. I would recommend you go elsewhere for your conveyancing needs.

Can’t speak highly enough of Hewitts Solicitors. Danielle and her team, Jasmine and Kate, were excellent from start to finish. Always kept us in the loop, easy to get hold of when we needed them, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. They’re clearly very knowledgeable but also approachable and down to earth, which made a big difference during what can be a stressful process. Everything was handled efficiently and professionally, and you could tell they genuinely cared about getting things over the line properly. All in all, a great service and we’d have no hesitation recommending Danielle, Jasmine, Kate and the team at Hewitts.
