Fantastic support in the sale of London Flat

Laura has been brilliant throughout the sale of my leasehold flat in London. She guided us through the complexities of the leasehold transfer process and the requirements for demonstrating compliance with the Building Safety Act. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness made a potentially stressful process much easier to manage. I would highly recommend Laura and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Tracey Gibbons

When it comes to review Tracey’s help a word of thank is not enough. I live on rental income and deal with mortgages and re-mortgages regularly. As financial procedures and requirements get more and more stringent, the legal side of the borrowing has become vitally important as nowadays missing an expiry date could mean a monthly interest payment of four digits on flexible rate. That is why ever since I met Tracey I forgot how many years ago I always go back to her whenever I need my own solicitor. It is not easy to explain why I feel so good and what she has done right. Maybe it is her attitude to her work and general approach to her customer: caring and considerate but totally professional and business-like. I have worked with many solicitor firms over the years and most of them are quite good but only Tracey has given me this both reliable and comfortable feeling, so much so that each time when my case is with her I am really entirely carefree and do not worry about anything. It is the kind of impersonal personal trust which only real quality can generate. I have followed Tracey to HCR and would go with her to no matter where.

I recently worked with Arran Bhatti on the purchase of my first home, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. What started as a straightforward mortgage quickly turned into a more complicated process involving a bridging loan, which made things significantly more challenging and time-consuming. Throughout it all, Arran’s expertise and professionalism were invaluable. From the very beginning, he made me feel at ease, explaining each step of the process clearly and guiding me through the complexities with confidence. His thorough understanding of the situation and commitment to finding solutions were greatly appreciated - even with the difficult company that we had. Despite the unexpected hurdles, Arran ensured the process was handled efficiently and effectively, resulting in a successful outcome. I’m extremely pleased with the support I received and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor. I had previously used him for a commercial property and will 100% be using him and HCR firm again in the future!

We're pleased to hear that Arran and the team were able to assist with the purchase of your first home, Mahira. We will be sure to pass on your positive feedback regarding their communication and professionalism. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review and we look forward to working with you on any future transactions.

I recently had the pleasure of working with HCR Law on the sale of a business in London, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. Both the Corporate and Real Estate teams collaborated seamlessly, navigating the complexities of the transaction with speed and efficiency — despite delays from the other side. In particular, Parmjit Bhogal provided exceptional service and is hands down one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with. His professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to getting the deal done ahead of schedule made all the difference. I highly recommend HCR Law for any business transaction.

Absolute shambles when we remortgaged with Wright Hassall. Having to chase them all the time, staff leaving someone else always dealing with the case. There were things they should have completed when we remortgaged with them 2 years ago that they did not do which caused us an issue this time around. We have complained with a very weak response. I would NOT recommend them at all. If there was an option for no stars I would do this.

Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the service and response to your complaint. Your options, should you wish to take this further, have been outlined in the complaint response provided to you. Thank you.

Great experience with conveyancing

In the spring Tracey Crolla dealt with the conveyancing of a property where I was the power of attorney for the elderly owner who had gone in to a Care Home. It was an extremely stressful period for me but Tracey Crolla and her assistant Tracey Harding were both extremely understanding and helpful. Tracey Crolla kept me informed throughout the process and I wouldn't hesitate to use HCR Law again or recommend them to others.

A disappointing experience - used the company for property conveyancing and received a Quotation for their services. HCR then provided an invoice which didn't match the Quotation previously provided. I spoke to a 'Partner' on the conveyancing side who clearly didn't understand the legal difference between a Quotation and an Estimate which is pretty poor for a legal firm.

The team at Wright Hassall have been incredibly helpful each time we have had to go through the process of renewing our UK Visa. Daniaal recently helped us through the ILR application process and he made everything incredibly seamless, providing us with the right level of support and professionalism throughout the journey. If you have any immigration support needs in the UK, I would highly recommend working with the team. Thanks, Daniaal!

I had an excellent experience with Matt Gillett at HCR Law. From the outset, he took the time to really listen to my concerns and understand the issues I was facing. He provided calm, clear, and practical advice that helped me better understand a complex workplace legal matter. What stood out most was the effort Matt made to ensure I fully understood my options and the legal position. He was patient, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me. He went above and beyond what I expected, and far more than any other firm I contacted regarding my issue. I am extremely grateful for his support and would highly recommend Matt Gillett to anyone seeking knowledgeable, approachable, and client-focused legal advice.
