Excellent solicitors

I have used Carr Richards for 3 sales/purchases now and have found them to be excellent every time. They are very helpful and responsive and tons of experience. I have been so impressed with them that we recently used them for my dad's sale/purchase and I have recommended them to many other people.

Very impressed.

Only had a brief experience on the most recent sale via Carr Richards as the sale was aborted. Professional and reactive.
However I have used them on a previous purchase and found them excellent and efficient.

Carr Richards dealt with the sale of our house and the purchase of our new one. In all our dealings with the solicitor was at all times very friendly and approachable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carr Richards for any conveyancing matters.

About this branch

Description

We are a niche practice specialising in property and private client work. Carr Richards Solicitors was incorporated on 1 June 2013 following the demerger of Carr Hepburn Solicitors. David Richards and Jonathan Carr set up the new firm to provide legal services to the local community drawing on established contacts from the last 30 years. The firm operates from an office in central Hemel Hempstead. All fee earners and support staff champion the concept that the ‘client is king’ and do everything possible to ensure that this is evidenced in the relationship with the client. The firm is a signatory to the Law Society’s Diversity and Inclusion Charter. The firm has been a member of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme since it was authorised by the SRA in 2013. David Richards has sought to establish a friendly and flexible environment for both staff and clients in order to allow for outstanding levels of client service to be established and flourish.
