Worcestershire house sale

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Amazing !!

Sarah is a truly wonderful solicitor !

Going through the process of purchasing my first home with my partner would have been completely different without Sarah! Sarah is extremely efficient, reliable and kind.

During the purchase Sarah was always on hand to answer any of our concerns or queries no matter what they were.

We were updated regularly and never felt we had to chase for anything as Sarah was always ahead of the game. In turn making the entire process run smoothly.

I would recommend Sarah as a brilliant conveyancing lawyer to anyone wishing to buy or sell a property!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!

I've used HCR Law Worcester for conveyancing, selling my deceased mother's house and probate services as joint executor and beneficiary with my sister of my mother's estate. While not cheap, I'd say good value for money and I would most definitely use them again, and again, and again.

They have had to deal with the very tricky circumstances of two executors who really don't see eye to eye, a property with some issues, and a purchaser's solicitor who was belligerent, rude, uncooperative and uncommunicative.

Starting with the conveyancing side, Lisa Harper, has been superb. She grasped the issues very quickly and has been responsive to emails and calls, replying within the day allowing for the fact I wasn't her only client!
Approachable, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, responsive and would go the extra mile for me. As circumstances got more tricky, Lisa became more tenacious while remaining calm and professional. At one point matters became very delicate and the completion of the sale looked as if it my not happen, she knew when to push and when to ease back and worked closely in conjunction with our chosen estate agent. Lisa, with our estate agent got the sale over the line. A superb piece of work.

On the probate side, Shirley Rabbetts was equally brilliant, especially dealing with two executor/beneficiaries who seriously did not see eye to eye over a two year period! Shirley steered expertly through this minefield giving good but impartial advice to both executors, pointing out legal facts when necessary as well as using a wealth of experience to help us through. Shirley is approachable, professional, and steadfast when she needs to be. Communication and responsiveness have been excellent and administering the estate thorough and transparent. Her wealth of experience shows! A superb piece of work.

In conclusion, I thoroughly recommend HCR Law Worcester and in particular Lisa Harper for Conveyancing and Shirley Rabbetts for Probate. I would certainly go back to them and can't thank them both enough for their support in difficult circumstance. They have gone the extra mile to help where they could.

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.
