Professional, efficient and reliable

We recently used Coral for our home purchase and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
From start to finish, the service was exceptional - Coral was professional, efficient and incredibly reassuring throughout what can often be a stressful process.
She communicated clearly at every stage, promptly answered all our questions and made sure we understood each step. Coral’s attention to detail gave us confidence that everything was being handled meticulously. The process moved smoothly, and we were kept informed the whole way through.
If you need a conveyancer who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers excellent service, look no further. Thanks again Coral for making the experience so seamless and stress free.

I engaged Harte Reade to work on my behalf to sale a property. They were first class and worked out everything very quickly to enable an exchange in a matter of a couple of weeks. Would definitely use Andrew and Olivia again.

Speedy and efficient responses to both us and the purchasers

Our sale was bogged down by the purchaser having 3 different conveyancers during the course of the transaction. Helen was on top of the situation and kept us informed throughout.

Excelled in preparing my Will

I had prepared a version of my Will myself which it turned out would not have been legally binding and would have gifted my estate to my estranged family which was the last thing I wanted.
My lawyer at Hart Reade, Faye Harlow Smith, expertly guided me through how to structure my Will to cover my wishes ensuring that those who I wish to benefit do so.
I have particular sensitivities and Faye was kind and respectful all the way through. I really felt at the end of the process a high degree of satisfaction and peace of mind that my Will is now in place. Thank you to Faye, Carla and the Hart Reade team

I cannot praise too highly the professional help and guidance that I have received from Hart Reade Solicitors over many years - in particular Laura Mitchell who handled, always sensitively and efficiently, legal matters relating to my late husband's Estate and also the updating of Wills.

My divorce was managed by Guy Brown and his team at Hart Reade. I felt extremely well-represented throughout the divorce process, was always confident in his expertise and knowledge, appreciated his friendly manner, and have always felt I was treated with the utmost respect and humility. I would whole-heartedly recommend both Hart Reade, and Guy Brown.
