Fantastic professional service from Jessica and Danielle at Hewitts

Having dealt with various solicitors/conveyancers over the years when purchasing BTL properties, I have to say, I wish I had found out about Hewitts years ago. They are the best solicitors I have had the pleasure to work with, very professional, competent, competitively priced and very prompt and efficient. Moving forward I will be definitely using them again and would highly recommend Jessica Harrison and Danielle from Hewitts to help you with a house purchase 10/10

Writing a will for a disabled client

From just contacting Hewitt's I received good help.
I am disabled but was contacted by phone and a home visit which made the whole process so easy and stress free.
I always spoke to the same partner which gave me confidence as I am an old lady and felt comfortable with Hollie explaining things to me.
I would most certainly recommend Hewitt's to family & friends.

Property purchase

Was a good experience took longer than it should due to the other party. Danielle knew what she was looking for going over and beyond. Answered my emails in a timely manor, and any calls she would take or call back directly making her very approachable.

Sequential probates

Hewitts personnel were professional, approachable and extremely helpful, providing us with understandable communications by telephone, letter and emails. We were informed of everything that was happening throughout the probate process.
All the communication was through myself, but my brother and sister have said they will use Hewitts when they need them.
