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.

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.

Matthew did an excellent job from start to finish. He was recommended to me after being let down by another firm of solicitors who had caused a delay in the sale of my business. Matthew very quickly got things moving, he understood the time pressure I was under so not to loose the sale. He also gave me contacts for his colleagues to deal with my divorce and employment law. Nothing was a problem to him, he kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. Excellent service from everybody at Harrowells. The phones were always answered, emails always replied to , face to face meetings if needed. Matthew made a very stressful situation a million times better.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 25 November, 2024:
Thank you, Rachel, for your really positive review and for taking the time to spell out all the ways in which Matt helped. We've let him know about the review and he is chuffed. We are so pleased he was able to get things moving forward for you.

This review is for a different branch.
It has been a delight to work with Fiona Fawcett. Upon meeting, I could tell she was going to be the person I was seeking to do a good job. Friendly, welcoming and smiley, she made the process of drawing up my Will, easy. Fiona listened patiently to my requirements and took note of everything that was important to me. I felt valued. She spent a long time explaining everything I needed to know about the process of making a Will as well as the present laws around such matters. Fiona has reassured me that everything that feels important to me is fully protected.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 25 February, 2025:
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to compose such a considered and positive review. Those of us who know Fiona well can tell you have absolutely captured the essence of her approach and personality. We are so pleased she was able to assist you and that her efforts were very much appreciated.

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.

The Harrowells ‘difference’ is that we always bring dedication and a practical perspective to our work. This transforms our advice from being legally ‘expert’ into something that is really effective from the client’s perspective. The best way to work out whether you’d like us to help you is to talk to us – so why not email or phone us today.
