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.

Would highly recommend, as a first time buyer the whole process could have been quite daunting but Tina made sure I was updated regularly and enabled the house purchase to go through quickly!
