We cannot thank Helen enough for handling both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new house. From start to finish, Helen was wonderfully friendly, approachable, and exceptional at keeping us informed every step of the way. As we were expecting a baby during the move, her empathy, understanding, and immense patience made what could have been a stressful time so much easier to navigate. Although the conveyancing process ultimately took a long time due to external factors, Helen was remarkably rigorous throughout. She went above and beyond with the house survey, ensuring the sellers completed every necessary job and resolution before we exchanged. Thanks to her thoroughness, we felt completely safe, supported, and confident that we were getting a high-quality service and a sound house with no hidden surprises. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, thorough, and approachable service.

I have recently completed on the sale of a property in Eastbourne and I am so pleased to have instructed Helen at Hart Reade Eastbourne to act on my behalf. Helen acted promptly and extremely efficiently throughout the entire process resulting in a swift and stress free sale. I cannot recommend Helen highly enough.

Hart Reade Polegate recently did the conveyancing for a flat I was selling. The process was lengthy due to various problems but Karen and Jo got there in the end. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor. They were friendly, answered emails promptly and were very professional. Mary Wolfson
Charlotte acted on my purchase in April and sale in August and I cannot thank her and the company enough for all their help, particularly the difficult sale. I always felt confident and was kept well-informed. Thank you.
Exceptional Conveyancing Service! I cannot thank Connor and Vicki at Hart Reade (Hailsham) enough for their fantastic support throughout my recent house sale and purchase. Connor’s professionalism, patience, and clear communication made a huge difference during what could have been a very stressful process. He kept me informed every step of the way, dealt with every detail efficiently, and worked so hard to get us over the line for exchange. The whole team provided a seamless, top-tier service, and I am so grateful for their guidance and dedication. I would highly recommend Hart Reade to anyone looking for reliable, expert conveyancing!

Really pleased with the service we received from Connor Earl and Hart Reade. What should have been a relatively straightforward land transfer became a long and fairly stressful process, but Connor remained calm, responsive and practical throughout. He explained things in normal language, was always approachable and clearly understood what we were trying to achieve. We got the outcome we wanted and felt well supported from start to finish. Very happy to recommend him.

Connor Earl at Hart Reade acted for us on a land transfer that became considerably more complicated than anyone initially expected. He was excellent throughout with clear, pragmatic and very good at cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually mattered. We always felt properly advised and able to make informed decisions, rather than simply being told what to do. Really grateful for the work Connor and the team put in to get everything over the line. Would happily recommend them.

Hart Reade are acting on behalf of the seller, and as the buyers we have had months of mystery hold-ups (for months) and horrendous/non-existent communication. When our solicitor contacts them for updates they rarely get a response from Hart Reade. They've cost us thousands in delays, our whole business and lives (of us and the people who work for us) are in limbo and Hart Reade don't seem to care. We thankfully managed to get a tenancy extension on the property where we currently operate, but we never should have had to do that as there was plenty of time to complete the purchase, however Hart Reade have not done their jobs adequately from what we can tell. And to top it off, when we finally got the draft contract they had listed the purchase price 10x higher than it should be!! AVOID, and if the other party is using this solicitor I would suggest you ask them to change solicitor. We were genuinely nearly homeless due to their delays and we've still not even exchanged contracts, so still a chance we will end up farmless (alongside our 1000 animals!!). Seems like they have taken on too much work and unable to offer the service needed. And if you're reading this thinking I am some crazy woman, I'm not. We're a small family farm. We are just utterly desperate to move. I have called them to raise concerns privately, multiple times but it doesn'tseem to get anywhere. We just want Hart Reade to tell our solicitor what the delay is.
