Our team of solicitors were always available in person by phone and email. They gave us clear and unambiguous information and treated us as equals, despite our entire lack of knowledge of the process. We are very grateful indeed.

Stephen Taylor at Howells has dealt with two sales and a property purchase for me in recent years. I can highly recommend him. He is the utmost professional, vastly knowledgeable in his field, always willing to answer any questions that you have, explains matters thoroughly and in an easy to understand way, He is approachable, courteous, and reassuring which you need when purchasing or selling a property. Excellent service received at all times.

Both Elouise & Stephen were polite & prompt in their responses & the home-buying process was clear & went smoothly. I would definitely go to Howells again in the future.
I can't speak highly enough of Joanna and the wider Howells team. They recently acted for me during the purchase of my first property (a flat in London). They were superbly helpful, thorough, and communicated brilliantly throughout. I'm glad to have not had the "nightmare" experience as first time buyers may people report. Thanks Joanna!

We were so lucky to have Catherine Shelton as our conveyancer she is truly amazing, patient and understanding we had a long wait for a property in probate but Catherine remained very understanding of the frustrations and actually ensured that once the property had come out of probate we were set up and ready to go, she planned and organised it all perfectly which made the conveyancing go very well. Thankyou Catherine for chasing up on matters, organisation and understanding of our situation and for making our experience in buying a home for the first time easier.

Joanna and Megan were brilliant for our sale and purchase. They were patient, understanding and clear is every correspondence we had. We never once had to chase them up, they provided updates at every stage. If I needed to call they were always there to talk to and explain any questions I had. Seamless from start to finish. Thank you
I have just used Howells Solicitors for conveyancing and Catherine Shelton and the team have been excellent. They were organised, efficient and very responsive with communication. They also gave me the most competitive quote out of other solicitors across Sheffield. I would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you Howells.

I recently used Howells Solicitors at Rotherham to deal with all the legal matters when selling one house and buying another. My solicitor was Tina Staves and I cannot recommend her too highly, she was excellent in every way. She deals with every detail quickly but thoroughly, leaving nothing to chance. She is really friendly and pleasant to deal with and is very efficient. She is excellent at her job. I have dealt with many solicitors over the years and Tina was the best by far. I would recommend her to everyone if they want a good job completed without fuss. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Her assistant Jessica Carnell was also really good, very friendly and helpful.

Chloe was very polite and professional, listened to my account and then gave her suggested course of action based upon that. Her advice provided a positive outcome and I would be happy to have Chloe represent me if I needed legal advice in the future.

My experience with Howells Solicitors, and particularly Caroline, has been nothing short of outstanding. They have provided me with an exceptional level of support & have consistently gone above & beyond to help me with everything I needed & requested in order to see my children. Throughout the process, Caroline has been friendly, professional, courteous & prompt in her communication. I have always felt supported, listened to & treated with respect, & I cannot thank her enough for the help she has given me. I would highly recommend Howells Solicitors to anyone looking for a professional, approachable & dedicated legal team. Their support has made a real difference to me & my family, & I am extremely grateful for everything they have done.

I spent some time giving all my details as a 'new client' and was assured of a call back withingbthree working days. This dis not happen, so I rang them, to be again promised a call back the following day, I rang again the following day abd was told they would call me shortly, finally towards the end of the working day, I again rang them, only to be told that despite initially saying they could help, a "woman in the team" had decided they cpuld not take the case. Thats how she was described to me, no name or job role. They also said I needed to contact another firm quickly as there are strict timescales. Well a week has passed since my initial call, over three hours in phone calls and days waiting for a call back, and thats a week into my "timescalls" on a Friday afternoon, meaning cannot get support from another firm until Monday. So if I could go into negative stars for a review I would. If you are unter pressure, have strict timescales, want to be a valued client, or feeling overwhelmed, my advice is most definitely do not use this firm,they will leave you in limbo, and not respond. Find a company that respects its clients not just the numbers. Simon
Paul Webb absolutely 💯 thank you best person ever always recommend him xx
