Quote given was accurate, the conveyancing ran to expected timelines with any documentation being made available as needed. Professional and knowledgeable. However, on every occasion I was promised a call back by reception, the call back never came. Also, some advice was received far too late in the conveyance to be of any use. To anyone well versed in conveyances this is an excellent service, first time buyers will feel a little left in the dark.

We used Hewitts conveyancing services for both our house sale and purchase. Our solicitor Danielle Sullivan was absolutely fantastic throughout. Despite Danielle and her secretary Jasmin Dolan being exceptionally busy, and working in the middle of a pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, they always had time to answer any questions we had, and gave us regular updates, providing professional advice and reassurance through what is a very stressful time. Highly recommend 🌟

awful! A serious lack of communication to keep their customer up to date and you as the customer have to continuously chase for them and still never got a response Would strongly not recommend in any way, use a different firm research first

Many people are reluctant to speak to solicitors for a number of reasons but unnecessary delays can make the situation worse. As part of Hewitts commitment to our clients, we offer a free initial telephone consultation to discuss your problem and explain where you stand. If we believe legal proceedings are not in your best interests we will advise you not to go ahead. If you have a case, and wish to proceed, we will give you a clear quote of the cost. And if your case is eligible for legal aid you can leave the arrangements to us.
