Excellent service

"I used Sharon for divorce proceedings and valued her communication, advice, clarity and the time she spent helping me make sense of the process as required. I felt really heard and supported during a difficult period and was grateful for her being my solicitor."

The legal terminology used in some of the clauses can be difficult to understand without a face to face explanation. The lawyer we used to complete the final document clarified all our points where required to ensure we fully understood promptly and efficiently. Parking around the Sheffield office can be a challenge.

New beginnings

Stephen is a most patient and considerate practitioner with gentleness in his diligence and efficiency . In matters of conveyancing the stakes are high and it’s a significant time which made me appreciate all points of contact with staff members as his colleagues.

Best choice we made

We had a really excellent experience with their conveyancing service from start to finish. Communication was consistently clear and prompt, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. They explained more complicated matters in a way that was easy to understand, which made the whole process far less stressful. Professional, efficient, and reliable throughout — we genuinely couldn’t fault them and would highly recommend their services. Thankyou!

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 was recommended these Solicitors by my chosen Estate agents to assist with conveyancing for a property I was selling. Their reviews were promising and I was keen to make the experience go as stress free as possible. There was very little contact in the first 5 months after agreement of sale and I just put this down to work being completed in the background. 6 months down the line I had to finally check on progress as the sale was meant to be simple, was chain free on both parties and I was concerned about the unstable way the property market and mortgages were playing out in the media. I would have really appreciated a regular courtesy email to update on the situation rather than have to chase and rely on my estate agents for feedback (Hunters - who were excellent from start to finish). I resorted to having to send messages weekly to try and draw out information to what should have been an uncomplicated sale. I thank Jane Nightingale for the help she gave and I appreciate a lot of the barriers came from the buyers Solicitors dragging their heels. Overall it was an ok experience and as a professional myself, I had higher expectations for the fees I was paying. I thank Howells for getting me through eventually, despite a weeks delay after agreed completion. Careless error on Buyers Solicitors part to request release of funds caused the delay and in my opinion should have been a fundamental task to do ahead of exchange and completion. I was fortunate not have booked removal vans etc…..

Louise made everything smooth and easy when explaining the procedure,needed when my wife and myself made our Last Will and Testements. She was also there to guide me through the minefield called Probate when I lost both my parents, once again making everything easy and straightforward.

Writing my will

Louise was very friendly and helpful with the writing of my will . Howells as a company were also very helpful and everything was dealt with quickly and efficiently also no surprises with the bill which was exactly what I was quoted.

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.
