In the scheme of things my estate is very small when considering my Will. However, my family matters were protracred and I had to keep making changes. I was very impressed with the way this was handled. It felt as if it mattered.

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.

I can't really fault Hart Brown's service (which also involved lease writing as well as standard conveyancing). As far as I can remember, all my emails (my normal means of communication) were always dealt with in a timely manner, and, when someone relevant at Hart Brown was away, I was duly informed and/or had someone else deal with the immediate matter in their place. On the few occasions I visited Hart Brown offices I was always dealt with courteously and pretty punctually with regard to any agreed appointment time. There were unexpected and unreasonable delays in the sale process (beyond that due to my own holidays) but my impression is that these delays were always due to the other side's solicitor not being on the ball, like asking the same questions again, and asking for last-minute extra things that he or she could have asked for much earlier. Hart Brown kept me well-informed on the progress of selling my flat (which had been vacant since the last tenant departed in early February 2024). Hart Brown's fees have come to roughly what they said in advance that they would be. (I've no idea how they compare with what anyone else might have charged, as Hart Brown were also convenient for visiting on foot, being about 12 minutes' walk from home!)

I never leave reviews but in this case I felt I had to as the level of professionalism and expertise Lucy showed in the selling of my commercial property with all the obstacles that seemed to be brought up. Lucy kept me updated at all times and although it seemed to take forever the hold ups always came from the buyers or their representatives. But in the end we got the property sold and at a price I can be happy with and with a great deal of help from Lucy. A mention to for Karen who was always very helpful when Lucy wasn’t available. I have been a client of Hart Brown for over 45 years and Lucy is a very good addition to the team.

I was incredibly impressed with Hart Brown throughout my first-time home buying experience.
Buying my first home was a daunting experience, but Hart Brown (Guildford Branch) and Rosie Taylor made the process so much smoother. They were incredibly responsive, explained everything clearly, and always kept me updated on progress. I felt completely supported throughout.
They were incredibly helpful, patient, and explained everything clearly and concisely. They made the process as stress-free as possible and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Huge thank you to Rosie and team!

In re-writing our wills and establishing Powers of Attorney, we’ve been wholly impressed by the professional standard offered by three solicitors, originally in the Woking branch, latterly the Guildford base. Sunil Vashist gave the best possible quality of intervention, with huge attention to detail, minute checking for accuracy, and with warmth and patience. His paperwork was clearly expressed, and a pleasure to read.
The whole process was comfortable and positive, and we have no criticisms.
We strongly recommend the service, which was responsive to our needs, and gave us all the time we needed.
