Trethowans LLP

Since starting the process of moving Housre , Tim Higham snd his team at Trethowans have been wonderful and so helpful , in what nowadays is a very stressful process and I can't thank him enough. He has worked very hard on our account and although it seemed a long process it was actually very quick.

I would definitely recommendTrethowans

.

Easy to understand, a great help in purchasing our new property. Very patient and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and are very thankful for their time.

Having spent the last year attempting to move and losing out on a previous property after the chain collapsed, we found the whole process of moving slightly stressful! Inevitable perhaps but we were always confident in Trethowan’s acting as our conveyancers.

They were always quick to get back to us when we had a query, offering well considered advice and experience. On the periods our solicitor was not in office we were confident our transaction had been thoroughly handed over to colleagues. As a result we always had every faith in them acting on our behalf. I am sure we will be coming back to Trethowans in the future.

We cannot recommend the Residential Property Group at Trethowans high enough.

Tim Higham, and his Team, were a cut above the others instructed in the chain. We were in great hands.

The above endorsement being evidenced in our conveyance by Trethowans' judgement, perseverance, analysis, persuasive skills and creativity.

Put simply, they delivered on what we sought.

Sterling work.

Having used Trethowans for many years for all of my property legals, I have no hesitation in leaving a 5 Star review. From returning calls when they say they will to quick purchases from auctions you won't find better, excellent service.

This review is for a different branch.

I had a bad experience with this branch of the company and I would not recommend its services to others.
I sought legal advice and representation in 2023 to help gain repossession of my property, which was being unlawfully squatted by a tenant who had stopped paying rent and who refused to comply with the eviction notice. The company made such an incompetent application for repossession when it first went to court, which included basic procedural errors, that the judge said he was considering throwing the case out altogether (e.g. they had put the wrong date on the application and failed to fill in the grounds for repossession). The judge finally accepted that this would be unfair to me as the owner, given the large amount of rent arrears owing, and agreed to adjourn the case. All in all this adjournment delayed matters by several months, during which time more rent arrears accrued and more legal costs were involved, causing me extra stress. When I argued that I did not think I should have to pay the legal costs to go to court a second time, as the delay was entirely caused by the firm's failure to fill in the application correctly, they refused to engage in communication with me, emails and messages to call me were left unanswered, they just kept re-presenting the bill. At no stage did they accept responsibility for their errors or apologise to me. This company has very poor communication and people skills, they showed no empathy for me as a client, and are clearly only interested in the money.
The case was eventually resolved in my favour but it was unecessarily protracted and stressful.

We had an urgent matter that needed legal support, Trethowans let us down really badly. They did absolutely none of what they promised to do. There was no contact from them, despite several emails and phone calls asking for an update. With only ONE day until the deadline, they finally responded and sent the letter that they were meant to send three weeks previously. The stress this caused us was unbelievable, with the threat of losing our business. When we put in a official complaint, their excuse was that the delay was a caused by a 'third party'. As there was no 'third party' involved this excuse was absolute rubbish! They did however write off their fee 'as a gesture of goodwill' which in our eyes shows their guilt without actually admitting it. AVOID these solicitors. They are a waste of time!!
