Excellent service

I recently used DHC solicitors for my residential property purchase. I would like to express my thanks for the service, in particular to Isaac, the solicitor who dealt with my case. The communication and explanation were first-class, which gave me complete peace of mind that all was in safe hands. This was particularly important to me, due to being a first-time buyer. Despite being a more detailed matter, the process was completed swiftly. Many thanks Isaac.

Totally professional

I have used Victoria Hopgood and the team on numerous occasions. The latest was a somewhat complicated transaction involving three groups of solicitors, two finance companies, a builder and various other people. Totally pain free, efficient and professional with a smile too.

Wholly recommended for conveyancing and other legal services.

Extreme Peace of Mind

Moving house is a stressful act, one of the most stressful things we can put ourselves through, apparently. Carina Denness at DHC took away all the stress. Carina is so thorough, so efficient, so calm and so professional that the whole process was a pleasure. I cannot recommend DHC enough, especially Carina and her team. I have recommended DHC to a number of members of my family and to my friends. Each one of them has had the same exceptional level of service.

Excellent Service

DHC have acted for us since 2000 and have been excellent every time. We have used Carina each time we have moved or remortgaged as she is extremely thorough, professional and also very efficient. We would have no hesitation in recommending DHC (especially Carina!)

All of my family and I along with several friends have used DHC for many years for conveyancing, wills, LPA, probate etc. We have always found them to be courteous, professional, go out of their way to be helpful and reliable in everyway.

Excellent in every wat

I used DHC to move house earlier this year. They could not have been more helpful or gone out of their way any further to assist me. Nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly and easy to get hold of. I would recommend them to anyone.

Exceptional Service

Fantastic support during our recent house sale and purchase. Despite our initial purchase falling through, DHC kept our sale on track whilst we looked for another house to buy. Nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail was exceptional, great value for money too.

We could not recommend them highly enough.
