Lucy was assigned this case due to the original solicitor leaving the firm and came in half way through a difficult lease extension for not only my property but the whole block. Undaunted, Lucy took up the reins and got the extension over the line which was no easy task due to the complexities. During this lease extension period, Lucy also took up the sale of my flat including liaising with another lawyer within Hart Brown to ensure the sale of my property and the purchase of another property completed on the same day to ensure the smooth transfer of the mortgage from one property to the other with no penalties.

A smooth process from start to finish which given that we were selling one property and buying another with two different lawyers within the same group could not have been easy. The communication within Hart Brown between the two lawyers and matching up for the smooth transfer if a mortgage was excellent. Good communication throughout the process and would not hesitate to recommend Lawrence or Lucy the other lawyer involved.

This is the first time I have had experience of using a legal probate service. Everything was explained clearly and dealt with as effectively as possible given the usual delays dealing with third parties. Overall, I was very happy with the service and would recommend to others and use again should the need arise.

Emma-Rose dealt with what became a very tricky lease renewal with great professionalism and patience. She constantly fought our corner with the landlord and explained everything to me very clearly throughout the process, including laying out all of the options. I am very happy with the service we received as Emma-Rose responded to all calls and queries without delay and pushed the Landlords solicitor to do the same.
I would be very happy to recommend her.

Lucy Lawrenson dealt with a Lease Extension on a property where the local authority are the freeholders. Lucy was efficient, responsive and a pleasure to deal with during a protracted case where getting a response from the freeholder, a local authority, was akin to getting blood out of a stone. Thanks so much to Lucy for all her hard work and efforts. Highly recommended.

Mark was great from the start. He made me feel so confident, he was so understanding. I was nervous about putting in a claim against the NHS, but he made me realise I was doing the right thing. He was great all round.
