Hi Caroline, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for Rachel and the team and for your recommendation; much appreciated.

Louise has been exceptional in providing me with so much advice, support as well as professionalism in providing me with a good outcome. Louise kept me informed on a regular basis and I really did value her advice. When the chips were down and I felt that the situation was not getting very far, Louise kept me informed and gave me realistic thoughts in order to achieve a good outcome. It was very evident of her experience and was aware of financial implications, should the opposite party started to procrastinate. Louise always kept me updated and put a time line on how long we should wait for an outcome from the other legal company. Thank you so much Louise for everything.

Hi Judy, What a lovely review; we have passed on your very kind comments to Louise.
Sue Richardson was my conveyancing solicitor over the past 9 months getting a sale and purchase over the line whilst dealing with one buyer totally disappearing! Sue maintained a superb professional relationship and communicated regularly and efficiently keeping me informed at all stages of the process. A credit to her profession!!

Dear Andrew, We are so pleased to hear that Sue was able to guide you and update you through all the various twists and turns! We have, of course, passed on your very kind comments to Sue.
Instructed Harowells at Haxby when we were selling my sons house. Set out the perameters at the start and the reasons behind the need to get processes moving. They were clear this was no problem......definitely promised a service they simply don't deliver. Poor poor service from the conveyancing team. Lack of communication.......no one ever available when you ring and not responsive to urgent emails. Their delays and lack of communication have caused serious financial pressure which they know about and yet still over promise and very much under deliver. Wouldn't recommend unless you are happy with a very slow process and lack of response. Not a cheap option......don't think l am asking too much for a bit of customer service and to do what they advertise and also say they do. Sadly now......nowhere else to go other than poor reviews so no one else has to struggle like we have with this firm. Specifically the Haxby branch for us and our experience. We are still not completed and now over 6 months in. Just stay away from this firm.
Hi Kate, I wanted to speak to the team before replying. Obviously it can be concerning when a transaction takes time to move through the various processes and this can be because there are several different parties involved. Where this is the case, we do try to ensure our client is kept updated and, for reasons of confidentiality, our information and explanations need to be provided directly to the client. Nevertheless, I do understand your frustrations. Peter Mills
We have used Harrowells several times. Most recently we used them for our house sale and purchase. They are very professional and work incredibly hard. We found them to be personable and easy to understand. Cressie, Natalie and Stephen were all brilliant. We highly recommend!
Hi Ruth, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We will pass on your comments to Cressie, Natalie and Stephen; they will be thrilled!
I am very grateful to Harrowells, especially so Mr Black, he was professional, honest, knowledgeable and very reliable. He helped me with a home sale, and the results were better than I hoped, because of the effort he put in. I am very happy with the cost, and the service I received from this company. I entirely recommend them, have trust in knowing they will do the best they can for their clients. Many thanks.

Emily made the will drafting process clear and simple. She took the time to explain some of the more tricky details regarding trusts and estate planning and provided thorough and quick responses to any questions asked.

Many thanks for your review and 5-star rating; much appreciated.
My mum and I couldn't be more pleased with the service we have received. My mum wanted a discretionary trust to protect her personal injury settlement as she is vulnerable, in addition to a few other reasons. Ed Taylor got back to our request straight away and as soon as we spoke to him on the phone we immediately felt comfortable, he reassured my mum regarding a few things and then from there we knew it was the right choice to go with Harrowells. Initially we must've spoken to about 40 different firms and that is no exaggeration. They either took too long to reply, quoted us a ridiculously high fixed fee or just came across really difficult in general, it just didn't feel right. Before calling Harrowells I had a look at their reviews and I was a little hesitant as they're not all 4-5 stars, but sometimes you just have to see for yourself, make an enquiry and if it feels good - go with it. We have no complaints whatsoever, Ed advised my mum every step of the way to the best of his expertise but without being forceful, he struck the perfect balance between advising and following her wishes and that is precisely what a great solicitor does. In the end he delivered exactly what she required, we couldn't be more satisfied.
