Purchase of a property

Our experience was with Melanie, who acted on our behalf in the purchase of a property, all went very smoothly with excellent feedback keeping us informed of progress.
We certainly got the impression there was a strong focus on getting the task done at every stage and would like to take the opportunity to thank Melanie for her assistance and hard work in the matter.

Redemption Of A Help To Buy Loan

I had previously used Hallmark Whatley Hulme for their legal services for both will creation and amending, as well as support with probate following a death of a family member. So when their name was listed on the government website as an approved firm to support the redemption of a Help To Buy Loan, they seemed the logical choice to handle the task. I felt I had made the correct choice as I found Kirsty Elvins and the team at Hallmark Whatley Hulme to be knowledgeable, professional and polite. The team handled the task efficiently and kept me informed of the progress. I would both recommend and use the firm again.

Buying a new property

Michelle handled the conveyancing on my new property. She kept me informed throughout the whole process and dealt with the vendors solicitor and estate agent. Michelle made the whole process seamless and took a lot of stress out of the situation. I can’t thank her enough.

Extremely professional and proactive

Melanie Williams was extremely approachable and contactable. She proactively kept me up to date with the process of my property sale. I did not have to ‘chase’ her, she was forthcoming in her communications with me. She is extremely competent and professional. I would recommend Melanie without reservation.

Incredible service from Kirsty.

I recently used Kirsty to act on my behalf as my solicitor. I cannot put into words how valuable she was during the buying process. Incredibly professional, considerate and knowledgeable in her field. My buying process was incredibly straightforward and stress free due to the support and guidance of Kirsty. If I ever needed to buy or sell a property again, I would not instruct anyone else. Top class service, from a top class professional.

First class service

Highly recommend Hallmark Hulme and Melanie Williams in particular who is brilliant. We had a challenging purchase process due to a septic tank issue at the property but Melanie was on hand to provide advice and ensured we made the completion date just in time. It was refreshing to deal with a firm who you are able to speak to on the phone / respond to your email quickly and you actually feel are on your side!

Had an initial phone call with Aimee today and she was very empathetic and helpful. She went beyond the level of assistance I expected in a first phone call. Would recommend based on this.
