    Professional Conveyancing in Woking Area

    I'd like to thank Hart Brown in Woking. Fees were clearly set out at the start and I found Nitasha to be approachable, available and on top of everything. I was kept regularly updated about any unexpected delays along the way and in the end completed on the day planned. I would highly recommend conveyancing with Nitasha Thapar and her colleagues at Hart Brown in Woking.

    Really great service

    Emma-Rose was very professional and proactive in all of our dealings. She was patient and understood of my lack of knowledge in the intricacies of land sale, ensuring I fully understood the terms and potential risks before signing. Communication was seamless, and was always available to provide clear, practical advice, with an eye for detail. The whole team at Hart Brown were excellent at dealing with my queries.

    Using them for 4 years - Gone so downhill! do not understand the clien

    Been using Hart brown for 4 years now. Most recently they have just been terriable. The customer satisfaction just isnt there. All they are now concerned about is bottom line rather than whats best for the client. Commercial team in particular. Slow at replying to emails, if they do reply its not what they were actualyl supposed to do. I have used them for property and business on a number of occassions, but never agin. If it was me stay away from Hart Brown, much better firms out there who actually care about the customer rather than thier pockets.

    This is very disappointing to read. It is a great shame that you have not raised a formal complaint with us following the complaints procedure we advise all clients of at the start of each matter. We would have liked the opportunity to discuss your concerns with you properly rather than being advised in an email that we would have some bad reviews coming our way, and then finding this. We refute everything you have said about our commitment to client satisfaction and doing what is best for our clients in all situations. We trust our 916 five star reviews to date on Review Solicitors will confirm this.

    I cannot recommend Lucy Lawrenson highly enough. She acted for our Property Company on several occasions on diverse cases which included a challenging Lease extension and a Deed of Easement for some extensive Gas works that were required to take place on our property. Lucy dealt with each case in a very professional, efficient, friendly and timely manner, providing clear and proactive communication at every stage.

    Hart Brown recently helped me with the sale of the freehold from a property in South London to the lessees. I was impressed with their professional but friendly approach and their fees were very reasonable. They guided me through the process and it all went smoothly. I would definitely recommend and would use again when dealing with any property transaction.

      Slow and slapdash service

      After my father's death, Hart Brown Cranleigh acted as executor on behalf of my elderly mother. The will could not have been simpler as she was the sole beneficiary, all accounts and property were in joint names and there were no debts. It took almost two months before a single action was taken by anyone at Hart Brown, banks and insurance companies were not contacted in a timely manner. Emails and calls were not replied to, out of office auto-emails were incorrect, family and client were not kept informed of progress. Client service charter was not adhered to, documents contained factual inaccuracies and final bill was incorrect. I would never use this law firm again.

      I can not thank Hart Brown and particularly Louisa Keville enough. During my employment dispute she took the time to listen and explain my options, providing support and candid advice during a very painful and stressful situation. She brought it to a positive conclusion quickly and as painlessly as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Louisa Keville.

      Slow and slapdash service on probate. Lack of attention to detail, poor customer service with repeated delayed response to inquiries. Failure to make progress was blamed on workload and staff shortages. Incorrect final bill. I would not trust this firm with any future legal affairs.
