Sale and Purchase

We received an excellent service from Hewitts in our sale and purchase. A huge thank you to Danielle and Kate for all their hard work in getting things over the line for us! From start to finish all our calls/emails were answered promptly and both Danielle and Kate were professional but also so kind and friendly. We would not hesitate to recommend Hewitts to anyone. Thank you again!

Danielle and Jasmin were excellent and provided great advice and guidance. A special thank you to the fantastic Reception team of Susan and Tina. They were like 2 fog lights, penetrating through the thick, grey mists of conveyancing and guiding me, safely onwards .

Used Hewitts for a remortgage and have been really pleased with the service. Was discussed timescales and provided a clear breakdown of the fees upfront. Felt as though I was kept up to date with the progress throughout. Really good service, would highly recommend.

Solid and professional support

I was leaving an employer and Ben at Hewitts was quick, professional and supportive as I needed. I have now asked for Ben’s services a couple of times and he has been very helpful on both occasions. I’d recommend Ben and Hewitts for anyone who needs assistance and support.

My Late Wifes Estate

Hewitt's are very easy to deal with and everything was explained in great detail. Drawing up a new will, probate and enduring power of attorney. The solicitor was so very kind during what was a very difficult time for the family. Very professional in every respect and was kept fully informed during the whole process.

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.
