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.
