We’ve used Hewitts Solicitors twice now for property purchases, and each time the service has been exceptional. They were incredibly responsive, ensuring that every query was addressed promptly. Their communication throughout the process was clear and professional, which made the entire experience stress-free. The team is not only knowledgeable but also very friendly and approachable, making us feel confident and supported at every stage. We highly recommend Hewitts to anyone looking for reliable and efficient legal assistance in property transactions. Fantastic service!

I used Kara Ditchburn, who was professional and supportive at all times and very quick at getting back to me when needed.
I would definitely recommend using Kara in the future or to anybody else needing for family.

A smart, welcoming premises. The receptionist was very understanding and skilled at keeping us at our ease under trying circumstances. The solicitor who subsequently attended to us did so in a highly professional manner and was clearly very knowledgeable in her field.
