    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.

    Excellent assistance

    I had an urgent enquiry regarding a family difficulty. I was at that stage not sure if I wanted to proceed but needed further clarification. Adrian Boulter contacted me back and took time to explain the situation, the possible actions that could be taken and the potential outcomes. I have to say his advice and the time he took to listen to me and advise me was second to none. I have since decided to not proceed at this time but I will always be so very grateful for the time he took over the problem in question. Thank you Adrian! Ms Cohen

    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

      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!

      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.

      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.

      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 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.
