    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.

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

      I found myself dealing with a completely unfounded claim for wrongful dismissal and other fabricated allegations from an employee who had resigned and openly acknowledged doing so, yet still pursued a case with the help of his lawyers. A trusted friend recommended I speak to Omar Qassim, and I’m very glad I did. Omar and the team at Curwen’s helped me navigate an extremely stressful and challenging situation with clarity, reassurance, and professionalism.

      Patient, Professional and Supportive Throughout

      A huge thank you to Suzan and Bradley at Curwens for guiding us through the sale of our property. While we were fortunate to secure an offer we were happy with, the journey from accepted offer to completion became much longer and more complex than anyone anticipated. Along the way there were countless enquiries, requests, requirements and unexpected hurdles to navigate. Throughout it all, Suzan and Bradley were professional, responsive and incredibly patient. Their communication was clear and timely, and they always took the time to explain what was needed, answer questions and keep matters moving wherever possible. Property transactions can be stressful at the best of times, but having experienced professionals in your corner makes all the difference. We always felt supported and reassured, even during the more challenging periods of the process. Thank you both for helping us get over the line. After a long and sometimes testing journey, we were delighted to complete and greatly appreciated your hard work, persistence and support throughout. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Curwens to anyone looking for trusted conveyancing solicitors.

      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.
