House Move Conveyancing

I have just completed my house move with the help of Jess at Josiah Hincks and was completely satisfied with the service provided. The communication was very good, with a direct line to Jess if I needed to discuss anything.
Overall the service was completed professionally and smoothly. I would recommend this firm to anyone moving house.

From start to finish Natasha was fantastic. She kept in touch on a regular basis and updated me on every situation as and when it occurred. She was professional and also caring, as we had a number of set backs and other issues along the way. All in all I was extremely happy with the service and would definitely recommend.

Excellent conveyancing.

Jess Jones, Conveyance Exec at Josiah Hincks provided us with a first class service. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both Jess and Josiah Hincks for conveyancing both local as well as house buying in Norfolk.

Purchase of commercial property.

I recently purchased a commercial property in Cleethorpes.
Dealing with Jedd Acton was a genuine pleasure.
Extremely professional, very easy to deal with, fantastic communication, friendly nature and got the job done in a very short time period.
Will definitely use again in the future and I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Many thanks indeed.

It was my first dealing with JH and I was very impressed with their service. Always made time to be available to chat or with an appointment. Progress and professionalism of business was exemplary. I was acting on behalf of another but will be changing my allegiance to JH when need in the future. Thank you Sue for your attention.
