Friendly, approachable yet professional staff

Higgs LLP administer my late partner’s trust and did the conveyancing when I moved. Due to circumstances beyond their control it took eight months to get to completion but throughout the solicitors were professional, friendly and helpful.

Sale of mom’s house

5

I recently used Higgs for the sale of my mom’s house as she had moved into a care home. We had used an auction company to complete the sale so there is a quick turn around expected of 56 days and the buyer wanted to complete before Christmas. Higgs kept me fully updated on proceedings and we were able to complete most of the paperwork by email. In the end we were ready to complete before our buyers due to Higgs efficiency.

Simply amazing!!!

5

I recently worked with Samantha McHugo at Higgs LLP as my solicitor for the sale of my property, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the beginning, she was amazing and provided exceptional support throughout the entire process.

While there were a few hiccups along the way, particularly concerning the buyers (and their solicitors), Samantha handled everything effortlessly. Her ability to navigate these challenges with professionalism and composure made a world of difference. She kept me informed at every step, addressing any concerns I had and reassuring me that everything would be resolved.

Samantha’s expertise and proactive approach ensured that the sale moved forward smoothly despite the setbacks. Her dedication to her clients truly shines through, and I felt confident knowing I was in such capable hands.

I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and reliable solicitor. Thank you, Samantha, for your outstanding service!

Outstanding

5

Recently we worked with Higgs for the conveyancing on our house sale and very pleased with the service. From the start, they were professional and also incredibly accommodating to our specific needs. Understanding that autism can sometimes bring additional challenges, Samantha made reasonable adjustments that really helped to keep the process smooth and stress-free.

Communication was excellent throughout, always keeping us informed of each step and explaining complex details in a straightforward, approachable manner. It made a real difference knowing we had someone friendly and patient on our side, especially when navigating decisions that can feel overwhelming.

We felt confident that they were always on top of things, handling paperwork and liaising with all parties involved. Higgs made a world of difference for our family, Thank you.

Sale of Property - Excellent Service

5

As Executor to the estate of my late client, I was tasked with selling his property. Higgs Solicitor Sam McHugo was absolutley brilliant throughout the whole process. The buyers solicitors proved difficult to communicate with and promises of completion dates were missed on several occasions. However Sam persisted, kept us fully informed throughout. She deserves 5 starts and a 10/10.

Had the pleasure of selling a property recently through Higgs LLP and the services of both Sam McHugo and Sidrah Walimia. Communication was excellent throughout. A friendly, yet professional service. Have used both Sam and Sidrah before elsewhere, and would recommend to anyone looking to sell their house. Everything is made very easy and explained thoroughly. A 5* service at a really competitive price. Spot on as ever. Nice touch to be invited in for coffee and biscuits too when signing off the contracts. Thanks very much.
