Outstanding Service from Start to Finish!

Bradley acted on our behalf for both the sale and purchase of our property, both with nuanced complexities, and was extremely diligent from start to finish. Most importantly, he operates with militant responsiveness, and was available 24/7 when we needed quick answers. Have since referred to friends and family. Would highly recommend!

Freehold purchase

As a first time buyer this process can be extremely convoluted and confusing without the right legal advice. Bradley and the conveyancing team were excellent from start to finish. They were extremely professional, responded quickly to my questions and concerns, and helped clear up any issues and complexities around the end to end process. Curwens handled my case very well, provided me with all the information I needed as a buyer, and made the exchange and completion dates seamless; it was an amazing execution on a freehold property. I would use them again if I had the opportunity.

Sale of Property (Flat)

Selling a flat with a Management Company proved to be very challenging due to the Management Companies changing in middle of sale. Unable to get management pack from the new Company due to slow process of transferring records across from the old Management Co. I cannot praise Pamela Rowan and her team enough. They managed to get information together to enable the sale to proceed. I strongly recommend Curwens based in Royston.

Purchase of flat

Bradley was an engaged, pragmatic, and highly experienced lead throughout the flat purchase process, and his professionalism was greatly appreciated. He provided clear direction and instilled confidence at key stages of the transaction. However, there were gaps in the support provided by the wider team. At times, communication lacked sufficient clarity or was wrong, and more proactive guidance and sharing of critical information would have been beneficial. Greater attention to detail and coordination across the team would help avoid some of the issues encountered. In particular, the final completion stage presented unforeseen challenges, resulting in an unexpected delay of 4–5 hours. This had a knock-on impact, resulting in the cancellation of the snagging survey and furniture delivery, causing understandable frustration (and unnecessary costs) for all parties involved. Overall, while the leadership and expertise at the senior level were strong, there is an opportunity for the supporting team to provide more consistent, detail-oriented, and proactive support to enhance the overall client experience.

Thank you for your constructive feedback. We are pleased that Bradley’s leadership and expertise provided you with confidence during your purchase. However, we appreciate your feedback on the communication gaps and the significant delay on completion day. Your comments regarding team coordination and attention to detail have been noted and will be used to improve our service consistency.

We had a positive experience with Maria Sarouchanova, when buying our first home. She was very thorough , efficient and professional in conducting enquiries and obtaining responses. If you’re looking for a quick turnaround, it’s worth checking holiday dates before instructing and establishing a estimate time for completion so everyone is one the same page. We would recommend Maria and Curwens in future to friends and family.

I used them as solicitors for the purchase of my new build flat (as a FTB) and was very happy with how it went. I can highly recommend them, indeed their level of expertise and professionalism is unmatched. They are extremely responsive whether it be phone/email, sometimes even after hours. They’re keen and efficient (especially Bradley and Marzana who handled my case). Most importantly : they are fairly priced and there is no hidden fees

Alexandra Ridley of Curwens has recently acted for me in the sale of a property. Throughout the process she displayed a high level of knowledge and professionalism. I was kept informed of progress and she reponded efficiently to any queries. I would have no hesitation in recommending Curwens and would certainly appoint them again should i require any legal advice or assistance.

I have just completed my sale and purchase and used Curwens in Enfield as my conveyancers. John Appleton and Kelly Rennick kept me fully advised throughout the transactions, and dealt with all my queries with great professionalism, and also a sense of humour which made the process much less stressful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Curwens to anyone.

Upon my initial conversation with Vijaya Sumputh regarding my issue, she attentively listened and informed me of its validity. She outlined her intentions to explore the possibility of settling out of court; if that proves unfeasible, we may be compelled to proceed to court. We attended court and achieved victory. I am quite delighted with the service.

Curwens was recommended to me by a friend and Anne Stennet was very friendly but professional dealing with my mum’s probate. It’s a very difficult time but was made easier for me because of their easy and prompt manner of working. I am very happy and now using the company for eventual sale of my mum’s house.

I approached Curwens when my late Aunt was in a Care Home and found them immediately to be of fantastic assistance in every way right from when my Aunt passed away to Probate and then the eventual sale of her Property. Bradley, Anne and the whole team were absolutely brilliant all the way through, helping me with paperwork, keeping me fully posted in every way and explaining things that I did not understand fully. They all work together very well indeed and everyone knows their role and fits directly into it. The wealth of Experience that they all have is paramount in the Legal Profession and in my opinion cannot be matched anywhere else. Thank you once again and I would not hesitate to use you once again for anything that involves a legal slant. Thank you. With kind regards Steven Hawkyard.
