The team at Wright Hassall have been incredibly helpful each time we have had to go through the process of renewing our UK Visa. Daniaal recently helped us through the ILR application process and he made everything incredibly seamless, providing us with the right level of support and professionalism throughout the journey. If you have any immigration support needs in the UK, I would highly recommend working with the team. Thanks, Daniaal!

Dionne Russell and Matthew Davies were absolutely fantastic in helping me and my family sort out our visa. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout what can often be a stressful process. They took the time to clearly explain each step, ensured all our documents were in order, and were always available to answer any questions we had. Their attention to detail and commitment really gave us peace of mind. Thanks to their help, everything went through smoothly. I genuinely appreciate all their effort and would highly recommend them to anyone needing visa assistance.

I had a very positive experience with HCR Wright Hassall during my visa renewal process. Daniaal Afzaal, Senior Associate, was excellent throughout. He supported me at every stage, going above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. He was always very responsive, clear in his communication, and assertive when needed, which made the whole process feel much less stressful. Everything was done quickly and with great attention to detail. I would highly recommend their services to anyone going through a similar process, and I would definitely consult them again in the future if needed.

I cannot recommend Dionne Russell enough! I had an expedited timeline to obtain a visa, and Dionne was so accommodating. She helped validate my responses to the pro forma, answered all of my questions with detail, and was even able to help reschedule a missed biometric enrollment appointment on short notice. Dionne has even made a name for herself at our local biometric enrollment center! Once I arrived for my rescheduled appointment, the person working there said "Omg are you one of Dionne's clients? I love helping you guys, you're always so prepared and organized!" Could not have asked for a better experience during this process. Would definitely recommend!

Smooth handling of leasehold flat sale

We chose HCR, and specially Alison, to handle the sale of our flat after an incredibly positive experience with them during our house purchase. As with the purchase, we were kept informed throughout the process, and Alison handled all the paperwork with high attention to detail. Where there were enquiries made by the buyer, Alison helped us understand what the solicitor was needing from us, and kept us informed every step of the way about the legal implications of any replies. This sale included dealing with a company handling Ground Rent and another handling the Service Charge - and Alison made everything complete smoothly including settling out charges from these companies. She also facilitated a very fast (24 hour!) turnaround from exchange to completion once everything was in place. We were once again impressed with Alison and HCR and would look to appoint them in future legal matters.

My experience with HCR Law was mixed. There were some positive aspects and the transaction ultimately completed, but communication and follow-through were significant sources of frustration. Reviewing my correspondence, I identified at least five emails for which I could find no substantive written response, covering at least eight separate questions or actionable requests that were not clearly answered or completed in writing. On one particularly time-sensitive occasion, I had emailed the previous day and telephoned twice without a response, despite needing to exchange that week. I was also repeatedly asked to clarify or resupply financial information that HCR already held. On several occasions I explained that the relevant account statements and source-of-funds information had already been provided, but I was nevertheless required to go through the information again. Account administration after completion was particularly frustrating. HCR chased for money paid in June, the month after, when I provided the payment date and supporting statement again in July, and by September had to ask HCR to stop contacting me regarding monies already paid. We will see if they respect this now. I was also disappointed by the handling of specific instructions that mattered financially. These included my request to establish whether I could buy the blinds at the property and my instruction to seek a £10,000 reduction in the purchase price, following information found in the surveys. I believed this had been taken through to the sellers but it had not, which I only realised too late in the day ti challenge. From my perspective, these matters were not followed through adequately and this left me financially worse off. There were occasions when useful advice was provided, particularly around legal enquiries and the risks of proceeding without sufficient information. However, I felt that I had to monitor, chase and manage too much of the process myself. Better record-keeping, clearer responses and stronger ownership of client instructions would have made a considerable difference, as well as handover when holidays we taken. The process was a lot more painful than it needed to be, especially at the end. Verbatum: At least five emails to HCR for which I could find no substantive written response: 19 March 2026: I asked whether an end-of-April completion date was possible. 23 March 2026: I asked for an update on searches and timelines. 20 May 2026: I asked whether the relevant action could be completed that week or by the following Tuesday. Multiple requests for monies already paid: 10 June 2026: I replied to an account statement saying, “I believe these have been paid?” They did not respond, they then requested the money again. 13 July 2026: I explained that the charges had been paid on 26 May and attached the statement. They did not respond. Further account correspondence followed in September. 10 September 2026 I replied “Please stop emailing me regarding monies already paid”. They have again failed to respond.

I had a fantastic experience with HCR Law my immigration process. The team was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely supportive from start to finish. They made what could have been a stressful and complicated process feel much more straightforward and manageable. Thanks Dionne! I really appreciated their attention to detail, clear communication, and willingness to answer all my questions. The support I received gave me confidence and peace of mind during the entire process. I would highly recommend HCR Law to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and friendly assistance with their immigration needs. Excellent service from start to finish!

Used Sarah Loveridge for the sale and purchase of property. She was a consummate professional throughout, despite having to deal with some less that competent solicitors in the chain. Can't recommend her highly enough. She also dealt with the sale of my brother's property and he had a similar experience
