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.

I would like to say thank you to Katherine and her team. My brother and myself have had a difficult 3 year's but Katherine and her team have helped in a calm, friendly but professional way. Nothing was to much trouble and actioned as quickly as possible. It would have been so much harder mentally and emotionally without their help and guidance. Definitely recommend this company for any legal requirements.

Exceptional support throughout my sale and purchase - Tallulah Blakely

I would like to say a very special thank you to Tallulah Blakely for all her help throughout both the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my new one. From the beginning, Tallulah was consistently kind, approachable, responsive and genuinely helpful. Whenever I emailed with a question or was unsure about something, she replied quickly, explained things clearly and patiently, and always communicated in such a warm and reassuring way. I never felt that I was bothering her by asking questions, which made a huge difference during what can be a very stressful process. What particularly stood out to me was that she did not simply answer emails – she genuinely tried to help whenever something needed resolving. She communicated with the estate agents when necessary, helped arrange for the property boundaries to be reviewed with me in person, and was always willing to look into things properly rather than giving me a generic answer. She was also incredibly kind and patient with my mother, which both of us really appreciated. Even after completion, when I contacted her about an issue relating to my previous property, Tallulah took the time to go back through the correspondence from months earlier, establish exactly what had been communicated and provide me with a clear answer and the evidence I needed. That level of care and attention, even after the transaction had completed, says a great deal about her professionalism. Buying and selling at the same time was a long and sometimes stressful process, and having someone who was not only efficient and professional but also genuinely friendly, thoughtful and willing to help made a real difference to us. I am extremely grateful to Tallulah for everything she did for me and my mother. She is a credit to Howard & Over and I would wholeheartedly recommend her. Thank you so much, Tallulah, for all your help and kindness throughout the whole process.

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!
