Peter Howe at Hart Brown has been excellent in helping me buy my first apartment. The process went smoothly and very fast (my mortgage advisor was surprised by how fast I got to completion). Absolutely no issues, all documents arrived in excellent time, and all questions were answered promptly. I will definitely use Hart Brown again. Thank you.

Very happy with the service provided by our selling solicitor, Peter Howe, who was very professional and dealt with one or two problem areas effectively to progress the sale as quickly as possible. Sara Evans, his legal secretary, also provided good communication between ourselves and Peter when required. All in all, a very good service and highly recommended.

Throughout the legal complexities of dealing with our late mother's estate that included probate and the sale of her flat, we always felt that Peter Howe's professionalism, together with his colleagues' help, was always going the extra mile to ensure that at every step of the way, we were always well briefed and advised before making decisions. There were many unforeseen obstacles, and Peter successfully (and painlessly!) navigated all of them. We can't thank him enough for his good work. We would sincerely recommend his services to others and not hesitate to engage him in the future.

The most seamless experience for a first time buyer. Peter was amazing, he really explained and helped me understand what was going on. My first property I went for could have been a unsellable nightmare if Peter had not been my solicitor. Quick, efficient, and to the point. I highly recommend Hart Brown they were flawless.

Peter Howe of Hart Brown has helped us with the purchase of our new home and sale of the old one. He has been very professional, efficient and responsive. The whole process of selling and buying a house can be very stressful, but Peter made everything go so smoothly that it has been a very pleasant experience. I would recommend Peter and Hart Brown 100%!

We were absolutely delighted with the service we received from Peter & Sara, for the sale and purchase of a property for our Mother. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was explained & dealt with in the most professional manner. A truly fantastic service, and a company we will have no hesitation in using again.
