    House purchase

    The purchase of the property was far from straight forward as there was an historical charge remaining on the property in favour of Alliance & Leicester, who no longer exist. After months of diligent work by Danielle Sullivan and her team the charge was finally removed. The purchase process was anything but straightforward however Hewitts Solicitors were able to finally resolve the outstanding obstacles enabling us to own our home.

      Excellent Solicitors

      I was supported by Sophie Lamont at Hewitts concerning a family court matter and dispute with my ex partner. I was pleased and very happy with the support and advice given and indeed the outcome as a result. I would definitely recommend this solicitors and would happily use them for advice and support again in the future if necessary. Sophie and her assistant, Laura, were both professional, approachable, supportive and understanding of my matter. Can't thank them enough!

      Excellent Service – Made My Home Purchase Stress-Free

      I had an excellent experience with my solicitor throughout the purchase of my first home. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and always kept me informed at every stage of the process. Buying a home can be stressful, but they made everything smooth and straightforward. They were quick to respond to any questions, explained everything clearly, and ensured all paperwork and legal matters were handled promptly and accurately. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was able to complete my home purchase with confidence and peace of mind. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor. Thank you for helping me achieve such an important milestone in my life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

      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.
