We cannot recommend Howard & Over enough!

My partner and I are first time buyers and were recommended Howard & Over in Ivybridge. We used Danielle Soanes, who dealt with everything with professionalism and efficiency. Danielle kept us up to date at every step of the way and responded to all of our queries quickly. Danielle was transparent with us about where we were in the process and managed our expectations well. We cannot recommend Howard & Over enough!

Periodic renewal of will

I have been a client with the firm of Howard &Over for more than 20 years. From conveyancing, through LPAs and probate to will renewal. I have always found their legal support of the highest standard and easily accessible.

Update a will

Despite our chosen solicitor moving area we decided to keep with them to update our wills from them writing our initial ones. As always, these solicitors are very accommodating, professional and have a warm and friendly approach. Hence will remain with them.

H+O performed extremely well in every way. They provided clear and rapid communication and negotiated some tricky problems with no difficulty. They were excellent value for money and charged as per the original estimate.

Great recommendation

We approached Howard and Over to execute the sale of our house on recommendation from friends who had used them previously. The recommendation was not misplaced, H+O were thoroughly professional and responded to all our correspondence in a timely fashion making the whole process easy and stress free.

We used Howard and Over for our recent house sale. Danielle was just amazing. She was easy to communicate with, was always on the end of the phone or an email, and very quick to respond to our queries. It turned out to be a tricky process but we felt secure in the knowledge that Danielle was on the case for us. Thank you Danielle. You were an absolute star.

A huge thank you to Danielle and team. I used Danielle for the purchase of my first property in 2022 and after such a good experience I have used them again for my recent sale and purchase. Danielle has been amazing, answered every query we had and really went above and beyond for us, even the post-completion issues. All round 3 very positive experiences with Danielle and I would recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you again

I would like to say thank you to Katherine and her team. My brother and myself have had a difficult 3 year's but Katherine and her team have helped in a calm, friendly but professional way. Nothing was to much trouble and actioned as quickly as possible. It would have been so much harder mentally and emotionally without their help and guidance. Definitely recommend this company for any legal requirements.
