Hine Solicitors Limited

I can't thank Karen Gleed enough. We worked together on the sale of my flat for around 6–7 months, and what should have been a straightforward transaction turned into one of the most challenging experiences I've ever dealt with. Our first buyer withdrew due to personal circumstances, and the second buyer's side of the transaction was, quite frankly, incredibly difficult to navigate. Buying and selling property is stressful at the best of times, but this sale took things to another level. Communication from the buyer's side was often slow, enquiries would arrive by second-class post without any notification, and when emails did come through, they frequently seemed focused on assigning blame rather than finding solutions. Throughout all of this, Karen remained professional, determined, supportive and positive. Her calm approach and confidence helped keep the entire process moving when it would have been easy for things to stall. Her communication was exceptional, responsive when needed, proactive when it mattered, and always clear and concise. Karen knew exactly what was required at every stage and never lost sight of the end goal. Her knowledge, experience and can-do attitude were invaluable throughout the process. If you're looking for a solicitor who will fight your corner, keep you informed, and remain steadfast even when a transaction becomes exceptionally difficult, I would recommend Karen without hesitation. Thank you, Karen. I genuinely don't think we'd have got over the finish line without you.

Karen Gleed helped me get through this transaction when at times there were challenges. Karen was very friendly and provided a common sense way forward which saved a lot of time and likely expense. Karen's no-nonsense approach and friendly nature was really welcomed and she was very responsive when things were urgent. Really appreciated this through to the final day of completion.

Big thank you to Karen and Angela at the Swindon Office for getting my Sale and Purchase completed before the Stamp Duty changes came into effect. Endeavoured to keep me up to date and on track throughout the process despite my buyer being a nightmare. Would definitely use again for future house moves!

Highly professional and efficient in conveyancing for our first home. From start to finish, communication was informative, concise, and we never had to wait very long for a response. We felt well guided throughout the minefield that is buying a first home, and valued as a customer. As a bit of constructive feedback, the only bit that could have gone more smoothly was in having to twice re-sign the mortgage deed, due to signing bits that we weren’t supposed to, so a bit more pre-warning of this could have saved some stress. However we expected to encounter far more complications than this, so for the process to otherwise move forward quickly and smoothly is a testament of their skill and guidance. Note that our lead conveyancer was not based in the Oxford branch, but this had no negative effects, and we were still able to drop in physical documents here. Thank you so very much to Natalie and team for doing such a wonderful job for us.

I honestly never bother to leave reviews but Matt and his team have been just amazing. All of my previous experiences of conveyancing have been painful, slow and unresponsive but the Aylesbury Hines team could not be more attentive and helpful. Whenever I've sent chasers I've found that Matt was already on it and pushing things forward. It's such a breath of fresh air. They're worth every penny.

I used their services. The solicitor assigned to me first of all never noticed that the rent charge on the property was too high as per laws. I hired them so I can work with a Swindon local agency but they anyway assigned my case to someone not from the area. They are not very responsive as well. Only the front desk is responsive, the solicitor assigned was not. I recommend working with better agency.

This is the second time using Matt Phillips for conveyancing. He is always very helpfully and friendly. Did a fantastic job. Will be recommending him and will be using him again in the future. And a big thank you to the rest of team.
