Massive thank you to solicitor Steven Coles at HSW. We completed a Transfer of Equity with him and he was nothing short of brilliant. He made the entire process as painless as possible, answering every question no matter how small and we are really grateful for the time and attention given. Having had a number of property dealings over the years, we have never had such wonderful, speedy service. We certainly won't hesitate to contact HSW again for any future requirements.

Excellent Service with fast sale and purchase!
We used Steve to sell our house and purchase our new family home as a part exchange with a large developer. We wanted to get the whole thing completed in 2 months, from instructing him to represent us to having the keys! Despite several hurdles along the way Steve worked hard for us and ensured we managed to get our move completed on time.
Steven (and the whole team at HSW) were open and transparent along the journey and ensured we know what was going on at each step. He was very helpful with all my naive questions and always put us at ease throughout the process. Moving house is a particularly stressful experience but using Steven as our solicitor took a massive load of stress away!
We will definitely use Steve again when moving house in the future.

House sale
Steven has been a great help to me and my family in dealing with two property sales. After providing the initial information in both cases, we had very little to do as Steven was able to manage and complete the sales with very little fuss.

Best Solicitor Ever
I have used the services of Hall Smith Whittingham on several occasions and cannot rate the service Steven and his team provide highly enough. Selling and purchasing a property is one of the most stressful and nerve racking experiences an individual encounters regardless of how many times you've done it in the past. Steven helped me with my first solo house purchase over 12 years ago and I've been back to him without hesitation over and over again . Unlike previous solicitors I have dealt with in the past Steven is on the case from the offset, always available if you need to talk over a concern or worry and if he's not available at the time of calling always contacts you back in a timely manner. He provides constant updates and if he is going to be away informs you and has a colleague briefed so you aren't left without a point of contact should you need help and assistance. Don't bother looking anywhere else, you don't need anyone else, just call Steven. Job Done!

Property sales and purchase
Since moving to the area we have used Hall Smith Whittingham on 3 occasions. Each time we have found them very professional and efficient. They have been proactive and offered good advise when we have encountered situations where we ourselves have had no prior experience.

Friendly & Pro-Active Service
Steven Coles has carried out many residential conveyencing matters for me over a period of almost 20 years and I can thoroughly recommend his services. I have always found Steven to be helpful, concise, and efficient, along with being a good communicator and always pro-active at achieving the end goal as smoothly as possible.

A Professional Service
On the death of my mother, I engaged the services of Hall Smith Whittingham LLP to conduct the sale of her property, which I had inherited. Parts of the property were constructed over 100 years ago, with added complications of a shared Septic Tank.
The solicitor acting for the purchaser proved challenging regarding some of the age and drainage related issues.
Steven Coles and his team dealt with each issue in a considered and professional manner - bringing the sale to a satisfactory conclusion.
