Lucy was excellent. We had a very fustrating case involving a simple freehold transfer. She picked up the case after the previous associate hadn't managed to make much progress and swiftly got it done.

Really great service

Emma-Rose was very professional and proactive in all of our dealings. She was patient and understood of my lack of knowledge in the intricacies of land sale, ensuring I fully understood the terms and potential risks before signing. Communication was seamless, and was always available to provide clear, practical advice, with an eye for detail. The whole team at Hart Brown were excellent at dealing with my queries.

I was more than satisfied with all the service provided by Hart Brown, although the outcome was not what we had expected. In the circumstances, without wanting to prolong the proceedings, a decision was made by myself. I was nevertheless satisfied with the outcome. Many thanks for all the help and advice I was given through the proceedings.

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 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 updating our wills after having prepared our double Lasting Powers of Attorneys, Mr Jordan Page has shown not only an in-depth grasp of the subjects in question, but also in explaining the necessary work processes to meet our specific requirements. Throughout our interactions he has been ready and authoritative in dealing with our questions and queries and prompt in the delivery of the required outputs. It has been a pleasure dealing and interacting with him throughout.

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.
