From our first contact with the company to the completion of our property purchase, Michael Bush and his team were professional, efficient and extremely personable. We cannot thank them enough and any future legal requirements we might have will be conducted through this company.

Fabulous, friendly, efficient service. Super helpful and responsive always. Made what was an emotional property sale that little bit easier. We can’t thank Mike, Vanda, Nicola and the whole team at Henry Hyams enough. Highly Recommend 🙏😊

A friend recommended Henry Hyams Solicitors as they had used them for their conveyancing. I was glad that I did as they were very efficient, very friendly and very competitively priced. I would certainly recommend them too.

First class conveyancing of property sale.

5

The team at Henry Hyams went beyond the call of duty with their patience, and assistance, in managing the sale of our property, keeping us informed, negotiating with 'challenging' buyers solicitors, and expediting the process when needed. Particular thanks to Vanda Balogh and Michael for their help. Highly recommend.

Probate and House Sale

5

We instructed Michael to handle our parents' affairs - initially for obtaining Probate and ultimately house sale. It was a lengthy, at times complex process taking approximately two and a half years to complete. Throughout the entire process we were kept fully updated. Nicola Hartley was superb in keeping us fully in the loop, responding to emails and telephone calls quickly. We cannot thank MIchael and his team enough for all of their support throughout this difficult time and would highly recommend their services.

Avoid Michael - Unresponsive and Delays Cost Me My Lease

1

I'm writing this review to warn others about my totally unsatisfactory experience. While the landlady was slow to send the initial draft of the lease agreement, that was the least of my problems.

I was in contact with Vanda and Michael, but it took me 3 weeks to get someone to answer to my emails/phone calls. After that, Michael sent the changes I required (4-5 clauses) after a 7 week wait.
The last changes I needed, never came through, and it's been more than 2 months.

This lack of responsiveness proved catastrophic. The landlady, frustrated by the holdup, decided to pull the property from the rental market altogether and sell it instead. Because of Michael's inefficiency, I lost out on the perfect place.

If you're looking for a solicitor who is prompt, communicative, and gets the job done, then this firm is absolutely not for you. The delays and lack of communication cost me a great opportunity, and I wouldn't want anyone else to experience the same frustration and disappointment.

Great Solicitong firm for property matters. Everything made simple from the word go, knew exactly what was going on and when. Even when delays due to solicitors from other parties managed expectation doing what they could and proactive so ready to move efficiently. Michael Bush and team are brilliant at what they do and would use to sell/purchase again. Thank you

Sale didn't complete yet charged, conveniently, the exactly amount that they had for a deposit...

A representative from Henry Hyams Limited responded to this review on 18 April, 2024

Dear Adam, thank you for taking the time to submit a review. By way of explanation, this was a leasehold matter for which a lot of initial cost was incurred. Unfortunately, it did not proceed to completion and we made a modest charge to reflect the work undertaken. If you wish to discuss further then please contact the office direct.

Brilliant. They were our solicitors for the sale of our property. First class communication, proactive and responsive. Vanda and Mike are the best. They made the terrible UK property transfer system as smooth as humanly possible!

We've used Henry Hyams twice for conveyancing house purchases. Both times our cases have been dealt with efficiently and thoroughly and we've had not only a prompt service in sorting out all the paperwork associated with a property purchase, but also some astute good advice on aspects that could have been overlooked. I'd use them again!
