    Good service, helpful advice, value for money.

    My connection with these solicitors has been long drawn out, owing to an initial property move failing at the last moment. At all times during this traumatic time the solicitor has been helpful, calming and has displayed a huge amount of patience. She has acted swiftly to get things done, and notified me promptly.

    Clear paper trail reduces client stress

    Howard and Over handled my purchase of a new house efficiently with clear e-mails and paper trail. Took some stress off the process, with all staff, solicitors, clerks and reception staff being pleasant and easy to deal with.

    Excellent company

    Elena Grieve was our point of contact for our recent property sale. She was very professional, friendly and helpful. She responded quickly either via email or telephone to queries and I would have no hesitation in using her and the company again should the need arise. Thank you Elena for making the whole process pain free.

    Having successfully used this company in the past, I recently had an unpleasant experience. Because I asked 2 questions about identification material, which they already had from the last transaction, and why they required a £250 deposit from me and £250 from my wife, they decided that there was a ‘lack of trust’ and closed the account. Inexplicable and sad. No stars this time I’m afraid.

    We recently worked with Danielle at Howard and Over during our house move, and the experience was outstanding. Having dealt with other solicitors in the past, we were prepared for the usual frustrations, but Danielle completely changed our perspective. She was incredibly efficient, maintaining excellent communication throughout the process. Every query we had was answered promptly and clearly, which was a huge relief during what could have been a very stressful time. Her guidance and support were invaluable, especially given the added pressure from our sellers. Thanks to her expertise and professionalism, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. We can’t recommend Danielle and the team at Howard and Over highly enough. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is not only reliable but also a pleasure to work with, look no further!
