House Sale & House Purchase

All communications on the sale and the purchase were clear and prompt and conducted in a competent and efficient manner. Emails and telephone calls speeded up the process and face to face meetings at the office were easy to arrange and were very productive. Our solicitor, Laurie, was very approachable and inspired confidence in the process.

A solicitor that understands buying a house is buying a home

My experience with Josiah Hinks has been exceptional.

Gobindra has provided excellent care and guidance throughout the whole process of buying our first home.

There where various hurdles through out this process, and through it all Gobindra has been able to put us at ease.

He made sure we understood the situation and listened to how we wanted to overcome such hurdles, then expertly provided the best options at hand.

There were many times we was able to ask questions, and not once did we feel it was a silly question.

From how Gobindra delt with the process, and situations where we needed a tenacious voice, he was there for us . We were assured he understood that we are buying a home and not just a property.

We would recommend Josiah Hinks and Gobindra to all of our friends and family

Many thanks for helping with the process of getting our first home

We used the firm to draw up LPAs for my mother. We were ably assisted by Asmaa Hannan, who was very approachable, yet very professional in her manner. She was clear and concise in her explanations which was particularly helpful.

Natasha and Laurie have been incredible during the process of us buying our new home.

We sold and bought through them and as much as the deadline was tight, they did an excellent job gathering all the paperwork and talking to the right people.

We had regular updates and we felt happy and assured every step of the way!

We are a couple with two kids who moved to the UK a few years ago into a rented house and then purchased a house and needed solicitors for conveyancing. Our British friend recommended Mrs Sue Oswell from Josiah Hincks (as we were based in the Midlands). Mrs Oswell was extremely professional and despite the fact that many things went complicated with the purchase, she/Josiah Hincks was the only party in the process that was simple and to the full satisfaction. She navigated us throughout very stressful times and was quick and diligent in her work, so that, in the end, we managed to finalise the process and moved into a new home! Thank you very much.

Our solicitor was always one step ahead: instead of being re-active he was always pro-active, which helped move things along at a decent pace. Highly recommend Josiah Hincks.

Always a pleasure to work with Yilmaz Ozgen of Josiah Hincks. Having worked together on a few different matters his level of detail and support is the best I have seen in the industry. Looking forward to working on more in the near future.
