Reassuring & practical guidance

he partner with whom I have dealt on a number of occasions (Tonina Ashby; Northampton) is utterly professional, puts you immediately at ease; a great listener, she fully understands the client requirements and gives a great focus on the issues and what is needed. All is explained in a practical way which gives the client the confidence to make effective decisions about important aspects of their life. Highly recommended

Worcestershire house sale

This review is for a different branch.

Selling a house is never a stress free experience but Laura Upshall at hcrlaw really did her utmost to make it so for us. She was always prompt to respond to queries and issues and gave good clear advice. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company based on our positive experience.

A happy customer

This review is for a different branch.

I deal with many different Solicitors in my professional and domestic life. I find the conveyancing department at HCR, Cheltenham very efficient and they offer good value for money. Not the cheapest, but always carried out professionally, promptly keeping me informed throughout the process and always available by telephone and email. Thank you Sarah, Caroline, Emily and team.

In particular Matt Gillett's level of communication and explanation was excellent, which made the entire process stress-free and successful. I will definitely use their services again in the future if needed.

Don't know what you mean by " title of review " !!! FLAT SELLING ??

This review is for a different branch.

I was exceptionally pleased with the way Tracey Crolla and Olivia worked for me in the selling of mum's flat in Carlisle. They were both very , very professional , thorough and helpful in all that they did. It was also beneficial to me to meet them face to face and talk things through. Nothing seemed too much for them and I was very satisfied with their efforts. Thank you to both.

We are extremely grateful to Carla for her invaluable assistance in purchasing our first property. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer any (possibly silly) questions we had. She made the entire process smooth and stress free, and we felt confident in her expertise every step of the way. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for reliable and efficient legal support!

Exceptional

This review is for a different branch.

I would like to commend Carla for her exceptional assistance throughout the process of simultaneously closing my property sale and purchase. Her support was truly remarkable. The dedication and meticulous effort in coordinating both transactions on the same day made a significant impact. I am deeply appreciative of the peace of mind provided during such a demanding period.
Carla and her team executed their roles with utmost professionalism, and I could not have asked for better support.

I cannot speak highly enough of the way that my matter was handled by Gina Khera and the support and understanding she gave to us as clients. We instructed Gina on an estate which was extremely difficult to administer and came to a stalemate between the parties. Gina successfully negotiated this matter to a swift resolution. I also appreciated the post-meeting assurance that should any future obstructionism be experienced by our co-executor, we could return to Gina at any time for further guidance and assistance.
