Tina is world class

Before I selected a conveyancer, a friend advised me to select someone who was prompt as his sale dragged on, so I weighed up all the local options and picked the firm that consistently replied to my requests the fastest and whose quote was the fairest. THP Law ticked both boxes, I noticed Sue always replied to me within minutes, and after I agreed to the quote, Tina who handled my conveyancing was just as prompt throughout the process.

Tina is extremely competent, prompt, has great attention to detail and knows when to be politic and when to be tough with estate agents and other solicitors. WIth me she was always highly communicative, respectful, kind, and extremely funny. Had everyone in our chain hired Tina, we would've completed months in advance. The conveyancers of the other vendors demonstrated to me just how good of a choice I made going with THP, as we had to deal with their ridiculously slow responses stalling the process for over 2 months after Tina and I had everything ready on our end and the contract signed.

While other solicitors in the chain constantly forgot to ask for or provide imperative documents, read their emails or even inform their clients of mandatory valuations, Tina always replied to me and solved my requests often within half an hour of an email, and if there was ever anything serious going on she'd always make time to give me a call and inform me. She's just a pro, there's nothing more to say.

Honestly it's a no-brainer. Perfect service for the most reasonable price out there. Tina was exceptional. I'm the proud owner of a new house, and if I'm ever in the market to move again I'm going to be contacting her again first thing.

Recommend Conveyancing at The Howe Practice

Tina and Sue from the Howe Practice who dealt with the sale of my house and purchase of my new property were professional, efficient and friendly. They kept me in the loop at all stages of the process. This was particularly so with the purchase of my new property which is leasehold and in a retirement complex and Tina who dealt with this side of the process was very proactive in dealing with the many different aspects required for such properties. Thank you both.

Sue is fantastic and extremely efficient in what she does

Sue dealt with the sale of my house and also a few other bits and pieces. She is absolutely fantastic. Extremely efficient and not costly at all. She responds to emails immediately, which is highly unusual with any type of solicitor I’ve used in the past. I would now never use another firm or solicitor, apart from Sue, should the need arise. She gave me an estimate on how long everything would take and she was earlier than quoted and her fees are very reasonable for all the hard word and precision she puts in. Many many thanks to the very lovely Sue for doing an absolute fantastic job.

During a long and often frustrating sale to difficult and demanding buyers Sue and Tina remained unruffled and professional. Every stumbling block was dealt with promptly, efficiently and with good humour. They were a delight to deal with and I would not hesitate to use them in the future.

great service

Having being impressed with how my late mother-in-law's estate was settled, I had every confidence in The Howe Practice selling my house. Sue Tonkin was really friendly, efficient and kept me well informed throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend the excellent services this Practice has to offer.

Very pleased with the service and advice provided by Sue Tonkin at The Howe Practice during the sale of my parents house. Always easy to contact and after a protracted process due to our first buyer stalling and eventually withdrawing Sue helped us process the sale to the new buyer efficiently, completing in a matter of weeks.

I would give Tina 10 stars if I could. She always replies within minutes, is clear and empathetic, and has the interest of her client at heart. I could not recommend her enough.

Tina was absolutely brilliant from start to finish and made our whole house purchasing process so smooth! We are first time buyers so she explained everything at each stage and was always quick to respond to any questions or issues raised by any of the parties involved. We will continue to use THP law for any other legal services we require as a result of this positive experience. Thanks again Tina! Meg and Dan xxx

I would heavily advise anyone to go with THP for their conveyancing. I contacted 30 solicitors to compare prices. Sue replied to my emails faster than anyone else, and the quote I received was clearly well priced without extra fluff, so I agreed, and Tina became my solicitor.

Tina is an absolute pro. Not only is she hilarious and kind to her clients, but she's also highly competent, professional, fast and no-nonsense with the agents and other solicitors. We were in a chain of 4 properties, and Tina had everything ready 2 months before everyone else in the chain. When I asked her for information or sent her an update, she had everything done within hours.

Other solicitors in the chain sat around twiddling their thumbs for weeks on end halting the entire process despite being chased up repeatedly - (the solicitor on the top of the chain even forgot about their client's mandatory valuation and delayed us 6 weeks). If we had 4 Tinas we would've closed in a month. She never complains, she just sees a problem and fixes it. I can't recommend her highly enough. Everything went through perfectly with no catches and I'm the happy owner of a new home.
