Vicky was great
Vicky herself. She was contactable, understanding, efficient and pleasant. Helped to sort access to another partner, when speed was of the essence, and he had been uncontactable to me.

Fiona Fawcett - Thank you
This review is for a different branch.
Fiona was the perfect combination of friendliness and professionalism. She put me at my ease, and
showed empathy about my husband's recent death. I was eased through the admin process with much good advice and handy tips. I'm really grateful for her help and will be grateful for her help through the next process which is to sell this house and find new accommodation. Thank you Fiona.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 08 January, 2025:
Linda, thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave a review for Fiona. We are really pleased you felt Fiona provided not only practical advice but also sympathetic support; hopefully it has made the whole process a little easier. We has passed on your feedback to Fiona who will be grateful and appreciative to have received that.

Highly recommended
This review is for a different branch.
We were recommended to Harrowells by our agent and for good reason, they were very efficient. The property we were buying was subject to probate and and we needed a very experienced firm of solicitors. Nicole Dawson did a sterling job navigating a challenging house move with aplomb.
We would highly recommend their services and endorse Nicole and her team.

Highly Recommend
This review is for a different branch.
We went through our first house purchase with Nicole and it went as smoothly as we think possible.
She kept us fully in the loop and was more than happy to discuss matters, both via email and over the phone.
When it came to documentation and contact with the other party all was done effectively and in a timely manner. With then information communicated back to us in a concise and understandable way.
Would very much recommend.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 17 December, 2024:
Thank you so much for leaving a review for Nicole. Feeling you are 'in the loop' is so important, especially with a first time property purchase. We are really pleased you felt Nicole kept you up-to-speed and explained the process as things progressed. Very best wishes for the future.

Excellent service
This review is for a different branch.
The service provided was excellent, with prompt and helpful advice and guidance given throughout the sale. Our sale was somewhat protracted, but the good humour and willingness to act proactively in the hope of a swift resolve was greatly appreciated. No hesitation in using again should the need arise.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 09 December, 2024:
Many thanks for your very positive review, Julie; much appreciated. Nicole will be pleased to hear that her good humour and general proactivity helped along the way!

Neighbour dispute regarding overhanging gutters, soffits and fascia
This review is for a different branch.
In 2020 our neighbour threatened to remove guttering, soffits and fascia from one side of our home which overhang into his air space. The conveyancing solicitor was found to have been lacking attentiveness to the information provided on the Property Information form by the previous owner regarding disputes. Their insurers have accepted that there was negligence. Harrowells Ltd were engaged to act on our behalf in this matter to try to resolve the issue legally, including the offer of a payment and legal costs to the neighbour, who declined them. However, a claim for damages for negligence by the conveyancing solicitor has been successful. This, over a period of four years.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 09 December, 2024:
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We have let Simon know and he has been very grateful for your patience and willingness to follow his advice as the matter evolved.

Professional service
This review is for a different branch.
I contacted Harrowells following the sudden death of my husband. From the first phone call the firm were professional yet approachable. They guided me through each step, explained things in a humane way and were highly responsive to any queries I had. I felt that I was getting a personal service throughout the process and that they took the time to understand my story. Richard and his team are well aware of the trauma clients go through, his experience led me through to a successful claim. I will always be grateful to Harrowells, they made a very difficult process a lot easier to go through. Thank you.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 04 December, 2024:
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide a review. As you know. Richard and other members of his team do try to be as supportive as they can, during what is often a difficult and challenging process to navigate. It is really helpful to hear your perspective and know that such support is very much appreciated.

Support in litigation
This review is for a different branch.
We engaged Harrowells to assist us with a complex dispute with a customer. We found their expertise and clear communication immediately re-assuring and at all steps of the process Harrowells were proactive in managing all parties and giving us clear advice. Whilst a number of the legal issues involved were complicated, they were always explained to us in plain English with options and associated risks presented. Ultimately we achieved an agreed resolution through mediation avoiding a lengthy and costly court process and this would not have been possible without the excellent counsel from Harrowells.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 04 December, 2024:
We are very grateful for your considered and very positive feedback, which we have discussed with Richard. It is always very helpful to know what aspects of our advice and service are particularly appreciated by our clients so that we can build on that.

I am very grateful to Harrowells, especially so Mr Black, he was professional, honest, knowledgeable and very reliable. He helped me with a home sale, and the results were better than I hoped, because of the effort he put in. I am very happy with the cost, and the service I received from this company. I entirely recommend them, have trust in knowing they will do the best they can for their clients. Many thanks.
