UPDATING MY WILL

I was very impressed with the professional and efficiency I received from Ellie Colbourne starting from my initial telephone call enquiry about amending my Will through to the final meeting to sign my amended Will. I would certainly recommend Howard & Over to someone else.

Will writing service

Excellent service. Explained our wishes in lay terms, the solicitor converted them to "legalese", and she then took the time to explain the meaning of each point. She also gave us advice on a few issues we had not considered. Quick, efficient and professional.

I recently received a email which wasn’t meant for me containing information of another person, I have informed the solicitor of the error and asked for an apology and complaints procedure as this is a breach. I have received nothing from them, I recommend this firm to two other people both have had bad service and rudeness. Such a shame things have gone down hill as my previous dealings were good.

Neil and his talented team handled our house sale and purchase with consummate skill and expertise. What impressed us was that we had the constant impression that we really mattered as clients; house sales are a fraught business usually, but we were constantly reassured that things were on course, and Neil was more than capable of eliciting a response from our vendor's occasionally slumbering solicitors. To sum up, we really felt we mattered. You can't ask for more and it was much appreciated.

Incompetent, cannot reply to a simply email, even after 3 times of being chased. Steer clear. Extremely unprofessional.

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!

Used Howard & Over to purchase our first property. They were reasonably priced, went above and beyond and quick to respond to all enquiries. Would also highly recommend Danielle Soanes!
