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.

Irene acted for me on two recent Sales and the support/guidance she provided was both invaluable and very much appreciated. Both Sales were 'tricky ...and yet Irene acted compassionately and very professionally. Highly recommended.

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.

A representative from Hart Brown Solicitors responded to this review

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.

Used the commercial property section, with Lucy Lawrenson as the dealing solicitor in charge. Case was a double, for both commercial, and domestic work. The service provided was absolutely first class, professional, and valued. A number of complications arose, and all were treated with absolute care, and dedication, all to successful conclusion. Often emails continued into late evening, so absolute nothing could be faulted, and only praise given. I would whole heartedly, recommend Lucy, of Hart Brown, for any commercial property work.

★★★★★ Excellent service from start to finish ★★★★★ I cannot recommend Hart Brown highly enough. They guided me through a particularly complex and challenging property transaction, involving a number of unusual legal and practical issues, but the team handled everything with exceptional attention to detail and professionalism throughout. Communication was consistently excellent — I was kept informed at every stage, questions were answered promptly and clearly, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. Despite the complexity of the matter, everyone I dealt with was friendly, approachable and genuinely helpful. A special thank you to Lucy and the whole team for their hard work, patience and meticulous attention to detail in getting the transaction successfully over the line. It was a long and complicated process, and I always felt that the details were being properly looked after. A thoroughly professional, friendly and highly recommended firm.

Very easy to work with

James is very approachable, pragmatic and commercial. The matter was not straightforward, with a number of different personalities involved, but he took the time to understand exactly what we were trying to achieve. Rather than taking the easy option, worked with us to try and find the right solution, helping to manage differing views and keeping things moving to try and reach a conclusion.

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.

This is a very concerning review to read. We are looking into this as a matter of priority.

Employment

Employment Dispute

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.

From our initial contact through to completion of the task, everything was handled very efficiently, professionally and sensitively. Progress from start to finish was very swift.
