We honestly couldn't recommend Kelly and the team highly enough! Kelly was absolutely amazing throughout both the sale and purchase of our home. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she went above and beyond to make the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared. We always felt supported, reassured and kept informed every step of the way. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, we managed to complete both our sale and purchase in under three months! An exceptional service from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to guide us through such an important milestone. Thank you so much, Kelly!

Rebbeca from start to finish provided an excellent professional service and kept me up to date with the progress of repossession. This route I took using Hewitts Solicitors allowed me to sit back knowing that using a professional service would take the pressure off myself knowing that they had the expertise dealing with this case as I did not want the case to fail if I had dealt with it myself. I would recommend Rebbeca of Hewitts Solicitors as she attended court hearing, dealt with bailiffs locksmith and tenant and provided me with photos showing state of property once they gained access. As a Landlord i had been extremely fair to tenant, I felt they didn’t care about damage and state of property and never showed any respect, so I’m glad that I used Hewitts to get my property back asap such that I could sell up and no longer be a private landlord, had enough of other peoples problems.

Hewitts did an amazing job at helping us buy our first home. It was pain free and really quick. Danielle S was handling our case and she was fantastic. Thank you Hewitts!

I was disappointed with the level of communication I received from Hewitts during my home-buying process. The lack of timely updates and proactive communication contributed to an avoidable overlap between my existing tenancy and my new home, resulting in additional financial costs. During my home demonstration on 12 September 2026, the developer informed me that the completion notice had been sent to Hewitts on 3 September 2026. This was particularly disappointing because I had contacted the firm on the same day to request an update on my expected completion date, yet this important information was not communicated to me in a timely manner. With better communication and earlier notification, I would have had a greater opportunity to coordinate my rental notice period with the completion date and minimise the additional costs associated with paying rent while preparing to move into my new home. I understand that conveyancing involves multiple parties and that some delays may be beyond a solicitor’s control. However, keeping clients informed of important developments is a fundamental part of the service. I expected a more proactive approach, particularly given the significant financial implications of coordinating a property purchase and a move. Overall, this experience was frustrating and costly. I believe better communication could have helped avoid or minimise the financial impact. I hope Hewitts takes this feedback seriously and uses it to improve its communication and client service for future homebuyers.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that the level of service you received did not meet with your expectations. We would be happy to discuss your matter with you further, and would ask that you please contact our client care partner Melanie Winship-Lee – MelanieWinship-Lee@hewitts.co.uk.

Thank you.

We used Hewitt’s Solicitors in Yarm to handle both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one, and we were very pleased with the service. Communication was excellent throughout, and we were kept well informed at every stage. We never felt the need to chase for updates, which made the whole process much less stressful. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently, and we always felt that things were under control. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hewitt’s Solicitors to anyone looking for a friendly and professional service.

We have been explained the procedure/instructions clearly and have been kept well informed.
Our wills were drawn up several years ago with a Solicitor in Silsden as joint executor with our son. We wanted a Solicitor in Stockton to replace him and chose Hewitts and were very satisfied.

Making a will sounds easy - but in doing so I have found that there are many pitfalls and it is very important to listen to a professional who questions what your needs really are and helps you to crystalise what you really mean. Hewitt's solicitors are good at this.
