We were very happy with the service that Alexander Murray and Lewis Mywatt provided. They were very helpful guiding us through the lease extension process and thanks to them we now have a 999 year lease.

I have been very pleased with the service provided, especially as I have been looking after the property for 4 years as an Attorney. There are no next of kin involved so it has been stressful. I have been treated with courtesy and empathy throughout which was important. Especially I have been kept completely in touch throughout

Lawrence Stolworthy recently acted in the purchase of a property for us. As always, he was first class. He is dependable and thorough, explains things clearly and always replies promptly to emails. We needed Lawrence's expert advice on some legal sticking points and he helped us navigate through the difficulties with a steady hand. We felt confident with the decisions we had to make and Lawrence made the whole process much easier for us.

Our experience of other staff at Hart Brown has always been very good indeed. The firm's initial letter of agreement and other documents are thorough and we think their charges are fair.

We are very happy with the service we have received.

Lawrence Stolworthy is by far the best conveyancer I have had, both as seller and as buyer. He is thorough and patient and very good to work with.

His supporting staff, including staff in the Accounts department and on Reception are also excellent.

The standard paperwork we have received from the firm has always been thorough and clear and money transactions have been dealt with promptly and efficiently.

The offices of Hart Brown are very pleasant for meetings - clean and modern.

And their fees are, in my view, competitive. I would not consider going anywhere else.

In re-writing our wills and establishing Powers of Attorney, we’ve been wholly impressed by the professional standard offered by three solicitors, originally in the Woking branch, latterly the Guildford base. Sunil Vashist gave the best possible quality of intervention, with huge attention to detail, minute checking for accuracy, and with warmth and patience. His paperwork was clearly expressed, and a pleasure to read.
The whole process was comfortable and positive, and we have no criticisms.

We strongly recommend the service, which was responsive to our needs, and gave us all the time we needed.

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.
