Excellent Advice

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.

A thorough and pleasant experience

From start to finish it was a pleasure to have Howells deal with the work required to buy my property. Having Stephen Taylor as my solicitor was great. At every stage I was informed of the costs up front and the on-going progress. The staff were helpful and pleasant, helped with any questions I had and kept me updated by email. All in all I am glad I chose them.

When other solicitors said there wouldn't be a claim and didn't take time to listen to my case, Howells did. And in result from the hard and persistent work from Sasha and the team at Howells they were able to get me rewarded. Could not recommend enough.

HI Bobby - Thank you for your wonderful review

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.
