Knowledgeable, professional and friendly.

Nicole was absolutely excellent for my recent conveyancing. Despite some title issues, she and her colleague Katie were able to guide me through to a successful outcome. Very approachable and helpful and endlessly patient despite all me daft questions. Communication was regular and clear and advice and options were well presented. I can't thank you enough for all your work.

Hi Ian, We are grateful for your really positive review for Nicole; we will let her know. Transactions involving leasehold flats have, by their very nature, extra complexities and we are pleased to hear Nicole steered through it all to a successful conclusion.

House sale - at a distance.

Having no knowledge of conveyancing solicitors in the Yorkshire area, Harrowells Solicitors were recommended by our Malton (North Yorkshire) estate agent and I would gladly repeat that recommendation. Nicole Dawson of Harrowells did a sterling job: all procedures and correspondence were conducted in a friendly, swift, professional and pleasing manner. Nicole happened to be on leave when an important development arose but this was quickly and efficiently addressed by her professional colleague. Harrowells method of business, proactive stance and working as a team lead to a swift and satisfying conclusion of business.

We are always grateful when our clients take the time to leave detailed feedback - it helps us understand what aspects of our service really count. Nicole prides herself in delivering excellent service and will be thrilled with this review. It is also good to hear that colleagues stepped in seamlessly to keep things moving along whilst Nicole was on annual leave. Once again, many thanks for your very positive review.

Highly recommended

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

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.

Excellent service

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.

Rachel at Harrowells, Pocklington has just completed my mums house sale which I was dealing with on mums behalf. I have never in all my years come across a stress free sale as this. Rachel dealt with all the queries, she was always available to speak to if I rang (a rarity with other solicitors I have used in the past) I can't recommend Rachel or Harrowells enough. Will always use in future. Thank you for a stress free sale.

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.
