I was so nervous to go through the house selling journey again as I have had bad experiences but Hewitts were absolutely incredible I can't recommend them enough. My house completed within 11 weeks with no issues or lack of communication, Christine was in contact with me daily and was so easy to get in contact with for updates. It was a pleasure working with Hewitts and I will 100% be working with them again. Thank you Christine

Great experience when buying my house earlier this year! Danielle was the conveyancing socilitor handling the legals and she was amazing. Made the process less stressful and would take the time to explain the process and reassure us as 1st time buyers. The price was very fair and there were no unexpected fees.
Massive thanks from Jamie and Nathan x

We used Hewitts conveyancing services for both our house sale and purchase. Our solicitor Danielle Sullivan was absolutely fantastic throughout. Despite Danielle and her secretary Jasmin Dolan being exceptionally busy, and working in the middle of a pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, they always had time to answer any questions we had, and gave us regular updates, providing professional advice and reassurance through what is a very stressful time. Highly recommend 🌟

awful! A serious lack of communication to keep their customer up to date and you as the customer have to continuously chase for them and still never got a response Would strongly not recommend in any way, use a different firm research first

We are an expert in this field Many people are reluctant to speak to solicitors for a number of reasons but unnecessary delays can make the situation worse. As part of Hewitts commitment to our clients, we offer a free initial telephone consultation to discuss your problem and explain where you stand. If we believe legal proceedings are not in your best interests we will advise you not to go ahead. If you have a case, and wish to proceed, we will give you a clear quote of the cost. And if your case is eligible for legal aid you can leave the arrangements to us.
