Mary was very efficient as usual.
I however think it is a cheek to insist on 40 letters !!!
A representative from Heringtons Solicitors responded to this review on 19 February, 2025:
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave Mary a review, and for your returning custom, it is much appreciated. Though we are unsure what you mean by “insisting on 40 letters”. Perhaps you would like to get in touch with Andrew Hiesley, our Head of Property, to explain this frustration. He would be very happy to take a look.

Fully looked after from beginning to end on a sale and purchase project. Top marks for professionalism and keeping on at the lawyers in the other side for other matters. Achieved very prompt exchange and completion dates. Will be using Heringtons for future legal work. Recommend.

Jane Cathcart dealt with our conveyancing in a professional but friendly manner. Always there at the end of a telephone if we needed help or had any questions. Great service, would recommend.

The best legal service I've had recently
For various reasons I've had dealings with a number of legal firms over the past year. Jane Cathcart and Heringtons were by far the most professional, easy to deal with and most proactive to work with. Their level of service was on a different level to their counterparts. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

As a South African , resident in South Africa , owning a property in Yorkshire for 37 years I approached your office in Rye for assistance when I decided to sell it. I have a sister living in Peasemarsh and I am 92 years old .
Everyone I dealt with at Herington`s were most helpful and friendly . To begin with Barclays Bank could just not find my title deed and the property did not appear in the National Deeds Registry. To cut a long story short Heringtons took up the challenge and over quite a long period of time and perseverance finally brought matters to a very satisfactory conclusion..

About this branch
Description
We’ve been serving the people of East Sussex for around 250 years and can trace our history back to the firms of Raper & Fovargue in Battle and Dawes Son & Prentice in Rye in the mid 18th Century. There has been a lot of change and growth since then but we are still firmly rooted in the local community, combining legal excellence with a highly personalised service – for local people and businesses. Although constantly improving our use of technology to provide the most effective legal service, we still take the time and care to build one-to-one relationships with clients - a traditional way of working that’s fast disappearing in many law firms. As a client, you will usually work with the same lawyer and legal secretary throughout each engagement. There are some exceptions, such as in matters where you may need more than one specialist but, in most cases, you will have the dedicated support of the same well-qualified and experienced lawyer. We are accredited with the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) so you know that when you instruct us on a residential conveyancing matter, you are in safe hands. Whatever your legal need, whether personal or business, we look forward to helping you.
