Peter Howe at Hart Brown has been excellent in helping me buy my first apartment. The process went smoothly and very fast (my mortgage advisor was surprised by how fast I got to completion). Absolutely no issues, all documents arrived in excellent time, and all questions were answered promptly. I will definitely use Hart Brown again. Thank you.

Very happy with the service provided by our selling solicitor, Peter Howe, who was very professional and dealt with one or two problem areas effectively to progress the sale as quickly as possible. Sara Evans, his legal secretary, also provided good communication between ourselves and Peter when required. All in all, a very good service and highly recommended.

(I may have posted this already.) Margaret, of Hart Brown's Cobham branch, has been dealing with my late mother's estate since January 2023. At all times Margaret has been clear, calm and thorough. There was much I didn't know and Margaret was at pains to help me understand my obligations. This is hard work, but can save trouble and possible expense later on. All of Margaret's advice has been useful to me. I can wholeheartedly recommend Hart Brown.

Our solicitor was very efficient and explained what was needed for updating Wills and applying for Powers of Attorney. She was persistent in following up delays with the Office of Public Guardian and we are very happy with the outcome and the service she provided.

Having instructed Hart Brown Solicitors multiple times over the past 22 years for both buying and selling property, I can confidently say their service is consistently outstanding. Their team excels in communication, efficiency (especially when working to tight deadlines) and meticulous attention to detail. Peter Howe, in particular, has been exceptional, guiding me smoothly through several transactions, including a recent sale where unexpected challenges from the buyer arose. His professionalism and calm approach provided reassurance throughout.
I have worked with other solicitors, including some larger, well-known firms required by certain mortgage providers, but none have matched the high standards set by Hart Brown. Their commitment to client care and reliability truly sets them apart, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking expert property legal advice

I needed a solicitor to certify copies of a Power of Attorney for me this week and despite being told by another local solicitor that this could only be done if they had produced the original Hart Brown were more than helpful, saving me a trip to Guildford
