    We used Curwens Solicitors when selling our house and were extremely impressed with the service we received from start to finish. John Appleton and Kelly Rennick were professional, knowledgeable and always approachable, taking the time to explain each stage of the process clearly and keeping us fully informed throughout. We were reassured to know that we could attend the office at any time if we had any queries, which made the whole process feel very personal and supportive. We have used them previously and once again the service was just as excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient and trustworthy solicitors.

      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!

      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.

      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.
