    Tina Ripley Review

    Tina advised, supported and talked me through the different options when going through an extremely hard time of separation, divorce and financial remedy order, to enable me to keep my family home. She was extremely professional and kept me informed of the process. I am thankful to have had someone that worked in the way she did in her professional, calm way, which meant that I could 'get through' and cope over the time that it took. Tina dealt with all correspondence with my ex husband, which meant I was saved from additional stress and unnecessary actions which had been happening. I would like to thank Tina and would definitely recommend and use her in the future.

    I would 100 per cent recommend Alexandra Funnell and her team at Hart Reade Solicitors in Eastbourne. They have got me over the line with my divorce after 2 very difficult and dark years. Alex was fantastic. She was kind, patient, very knowledgeable and great at negotiating. It has been very reassuring having her and her team in my corner.

    I have been through the most awful, stressful and dark times these past 2 years of my life getting a divorce. Alex and her team have been fantastic. So kind patient and knowledgable. They got a great deal for me and got me to the finish line when I didn’t ever think that the dark days would end. I would 💯 per cent recommend Alex Funnell from Harte Solicitors.

    Greg Saunders acted for me on a very acrimonious divorce The whole process has taken exactly 3 years including family court proceedings. I have found his advice to be invaluable, accurate in every detail, and thoroughly professional I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone finding themselves involved in divorce proceedings.

      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.

      We cannot recommend Helen Hatcher, Conveyancing Executive, highly enough. She handled both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home, and the service she provided throughout was outstanding. Helen was professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and incredibly efficient. She kept us informed every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and was always quick to respond to our questions. Her calm and reassuring approach made what could have been a very stressful process much easier to manage. We are so grateful for all of Helen's hard work, dedication, and support throughout our sale and purchase. It has been a pleasure working with her, and we genuinely couldn't have asked for better service. Thank you, Helen, for everything you have done for us. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional conveyancing professional. Five stars, thoroughly deserved!
