Speedy, uncomplicated house sale.

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.

Excellent, Professional Service

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.

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.

A good experience

Tom made it as quick and easy as possible to write my will. He led me through the decision-making, explaining everything clearly as we went along. He was sympathetic to my circumstances and had the expertise to advise accordingly. I was very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.

Excellent Solicitor.

Having dealt with Helen for nearly 3 months, all I can say is that she was professional, understanding, really put her point across in a dignified manner. If I had any questions she would reply in a timely manner and nothing was too much trouble. She is an absolute superstar in her profession and would highly recommend her to anybody in my situation. Thank you Helen.
