I've used Hart Brown for many years, especially for buying and selling my houses. I wouldn't think about using anyone else.
Peter Howe has been so helpful and thorough in all my transactions and is very approachable.
Many thanks.

Rosie Taylor dealt with both the sale and purchase of our house. She was extremely professional and helpful, and always responded promptly to our queries. We had a few problems with the original sale and Rosie was very sympathetic and helpful in every respect. A star

Lawrence made myself and my partner feel very positive and comfortable throughout the whole process. We felt we were in totally safe hands and completely informed with absolutely no jargon or confusion. We would highly recommend Lawrence every time. What was potentially a difficult scenario was dealt with amazingly.

I have used Hart Brown many times over the years, this time for the sale of my mother’s house. Lawrence was utterly professional, he kept me in the loop with everything and was proactive whenever needed. I would thoroughly recommend Lawrence and Hart Brown.

Most efficient service to process my will and LPA, something I had put off for years. But actually the process was not as complicated as I thought. Would definitely go via solicitor than attempt myself.

Hart Brown did a fantastic job leading us through the sale of our company. Professional and efficient, with attention to every detail. James Lamont & Leah Whittaker ensured they fully understood what was important to us and executed the sale exactly the way we wanted it. Highly recommended.

Lawrence Stolworthy guided us excellently through the complexities of selling our London flat. His knowledge and expertise were impressive. He was friendly and approachable, and very good at keeping us informed, . We relied heavily on him and we have not been let down. We are very grateful, and wouldn't want to instruct anyone else for our conveyancing.

Extremely professional and efficient, a premium service that did come with a premium price tag. However I felt completely satisfied and able to trust in their knowledge and professionalism. Hart Brown helped us to get through a stressful time and they made the situation easier by taking away and dealing with all the issues and Legal points that had to be dealt with. Thanks.
