House sale and purchase - Excellent service throughout

I recently had a house sale and purchase for which I instructed Martyn and his team to deal with. They were very efficient and we never waited on them for any of the proceedings. The service was impeccable throughout and I would fully recommend them for conveyancing.

Exceptional

You want these people on your side. Selling and buying a home can feel precarious and always on the brink of problems and unforeseen challenges. Of all the parties involved including estate agents, financial advisors, banks and movers, Martyn and his team at HSW have stood out as being the most reliable and professional on every count. Their quick responses (even over weekends) have kept the pressure up on everyone else in the chain. HSW came by way of a recommendation from a friend and I am happy to pass that recommendation on to anyone.

We recently instructed Claire Hilton in our sale and purchase. We had no idea at the time that our purchase would turn out to be so complex however, Claire went above and beyond to ensure that at all times we were kept informed of how the matter was progressing as well as working hard to make sure that all the legal problems were resolved prior to our ownership.
As the purchase took over six months (through absolutely no fault of Hall Smith Whittingham), Steven, Michael and Hayley also all worked on our file and continued to push for a completion date despite having their own busy caseloads.
We would certainly recommend Claire and her colleagues!

The team gave clear advice using language I could easily understand (rather than sounding like lawyers). Everything was handled as quickly as possible, and I'd definitely use them again.
