Sale and Purchase

My experience with Anna Darcy was fine once she acted quickly with the lender which was sat on for nearly a month waiting for conformation. Once this was dealt with I had good and prompt response.

Superb service

From start to finish, Howard & Over provided an absolutely first rate and fantastic experience. A truly first class service. Natalie Couling and her team were very easy to contact and incredibly approachable. Natalie was clear and concise from the first exchange, and made sure that I was aware of the finer detail without providing too much unnecessary information. I fully appreciated how patient Natalie was with me where I did not understand something, and she took the time to explain everything. Natalie was very quick to respond to every call or email. There was never any instance of waiting for an answer. The purchase all seemed to fly by to completion. Natalie made the process of purchasing a flat, something that can be a headache at best, very enjoyable. I cannot recommend Natalie Couling and Howard & Over highly enough.

Great service

I purchased my first house through Howard and Over and Natalie was excellent throughout the process. As a first time buyer I had lots of questions that Natalie had no problem in answering and put me at ease through out.

I would highly recommend Natalie and the team.

Natalie was very punctual with her responses and her constant communication meant we understood where we were at during the entire process which made us feel at ease.

Overall, she provided an excellent service and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a top quality service.

Fantastic Service

We used Howard & Over following a recommendation from our Estate Agent. We were not disappointed. Catherine English dealt with the Grant of Probate, and Natalie and Jasmine were super-efficient with the Conveyancing for my mum's house sale. Nothing was too much fuss. The whole process was slick and easy.

Should have been so easy

Simple no chain transaction. Misunderstood the initial request and made multiple errors even with name and address. Sent us the contracts to sign twice, having failed to register the first ones. Offered a choice of fund transfer methods only to ignore our request and then when incorrectly charged told us the other option was not available. Failed to mention the need to pay any tax within 60 days. Very disappointed service.

I have just used Howard and Over for conveyancing on a recent house sale.
I have been very impressed by their professional behaviour, efficency, and reasonable charges.
The staff are approachable and supportive and I would definitely use Howard and Over again and happily recommend them to my family and friends.

I recently enquired about the procedure in challenging a will.
Nick Kramarenko was excellent, Very professional and helpful, there wasn't an avenue we didn't explore. His email communication was concise and to the point.
If you need any kind of legal advice I highly recommend Howard and Over
