I recently used Rebecca at HWH for the second time to prepare a new Will. Fantastic service, extremely efficient and Rebecca was really personable and explained the process and documents thoroughly. The cost was also very reasonable and extremely competitive. Highly recommend using Rebecca and her firm.

Can not recommend Claire Cole highly enough.

If you ever need some advice regarding Emplymet Law, speak to Claire. She was very knowledgeable, knew exactly how to deal with the issue, and was able to pursue it through to a successful conclusion.
Would highly recommend.

Review of conveyance services by HWH

There was an urgent need for this conveyance to be processed swiftly. It was carried out to both my and my purchasers need to expedite this matter. It was done swiftly and made from perception on my side with alacrity. What could have been a stressful experience turned out to be well under control and generated no stress at all. Plesant and professional.

Ms. Claudia Morris - BEST SOLICITOR in the industry

It is with profound gratitude that my husband and I wish to express our deepest appreciation to Ms. Claudia Morris of Hallmark Whatley Hulme for her exceptional conveyancing work during our new home purchase.

Buying a home, as many know, can be a turbulent sea of anxiety. Yet, from our very first encounter with Claudia, she transformed what could have been a stressful ordeal into a smooth, even joyful, journey. Hence these words seem insufficient to convey the weight of our appreciation for Claudia's unforgettable efforts and hard work.

Having navigated the conveyancing paths before, with its inevitable twists and turns, and having worked with other solicitors, we can unequivocally state that Claudia is absolutely the BEST SOLICITOR we have ever had the pleasure of working with. And this experience has been the most seamless and stress-free of all, and we owe it entirely to Claudia's exceptional work, dedication, and unwavering commitment. From the moment Claudia took charge, she displayed a remarkable brilliance and an unparalleled level of expertise at every stage of the process.

Upon acceptance of our offer, we were looking at particularly tight timeframes, driven by personal circumstances that necessitated achieving specific dates for exchange of contracts and completion of purchase. Sharing this with Claudia, we were met not with discouragement or hesitation, but with empathy and understanding and a firm commitment to help us achieve our goals.

While other solicitors might have balked at the challenge, Claudia embraced it, working tirelessly to ensure we cross the finish line within the agreed timescales. From the moment she took the reins, her brilliance and unparalleled expertise shone through at every stage. The sheer complexity of juggling searches, enquiries, and negotiations, all within such a compressed timeframe, was astounding. Claudia handled each challenge with such skill and precision that was truly awe-inspiring.

We still marvel at how she managed it all. From meticulously conducting searches and raising pertinent enquiries to skillfully negotiating with the seller's solicitor to secure the completion date we so desperately needed, and then, to top it all off, successfully exchanging contracts within the agreed timescale - it was nothing short of a miracle, a testament to her exceptional legal acumen and unwavering dedication.

Claudia's incredible efforts enabled us to exchange contracts in record time of just over two weeks, with completion to follow in another mere two weeks. This feat was made possible solely by Claudia's expertise and hard work; we simply could not have reached this point so swiftly and smoothly without her brilliant work. And we honestly don't believe any other solicitor could have accomplished what Claudia did for us. She took an impossible task and transformed it into a reality. It is why we say again, with complete conviction, that Claudia is absolutely the BEST SOLICITOR in the field, and we will forever be grateful for her exceptional service.

The entire conveyancing process, often perceived as a daunting task, became a truly delightful and refreshing experience, thanks to Claudia's unwavering guidance. She was a constant source of support, patiently explaining everything at each and every step and ensuring we felt confident and informed throughout.

What truly sets Claudia apart is her unwavering client focus. Her ability to empathize with her clients and offer constant support, advice, and guidance is truly awe-inspiring. I, myself, am someone who tends to have a million questions about everything, and Claudia possesses the amazing quality to patiently answer each and every one of them with in-depth clarity and understanding. Her insightful explanations of the process, helping us grasp every aspect of it, were invaluable. In a world where online communication often overshadows personal interaction, Claudia made herself readily available to meet with us in person whenever we requested.

Upon receiving paperwork from the seller's solicitors, she meticulously reviewed it with us in person, explaining the details in depth and guiding us on the enquiries she would raise. Similarly, when the search results and answers to enquiries came in, Claudia again took the time to sit down with us and walk us through the findings in detail. This level of personalized attention, ensuring we understood every nuance of the property we were purchasing, is simply unheard of in our past experiences with other solicitors. Claudia truly embodies client-focused service. Even when we were signing the final papers in preparation for the exchange, Claudia met with us to go through each document in detail, as well as answering our last-minute questions and ensuring we felt completely confident before proceeding. This was an incredibly reassuring and refreshing experience.

Beyond the in-person meetings, Claudia's attentiveness and responsiveness were truly unparalleled. Whenever we had immediate questions or concerns, she was always just a phone call or an email away, ready to provide guidance, reassurance, and clarity. This level of accessibility is a rarity in the legal profession, and it speaks volumes about Claudia's unwavering commitment to her clients and her dedication to ensuring they feel supported and informed throughout the entire process.

Claudia's dedication to providing regular updates was also particularly impressive. In an industry where consistent communication can often be a challenge, Claudia's commitment to keeping us fully informed at every stage of the process is truly exceptional; her tireless work ethic and genuine empathy for her client's personal circumstances is deeply inspiring. She embodies a rare combination of legal expertise and genuine care, offering a calming and reassuring presence while relentlessly pursuing the best possible outcome for her clients. This unique blend of compassion and tenacity sets her apart as an exceptional solicitor.

From the outset, we felt confident that we were in the most capable hands. Throughout the conveyancing, we experienced no stress, a testament to Claudia's brilliance and the seamless manner in which she managed every aspect of the process, working tirelessly on our behalf for a succesful and swift purchase.

Yet again, we offer our deepest gratitude to Claudia, for her exceptional work and the seamless conveyancing experience she provided. Her presence is a guiding light, illuminating the path to a seamless and stress-free home purchase that we will forever cherish.

We were privileged to have the opportunity to work with Claudia, and we are confident that she will continue to achieve great success in her career, positively impacting the lives of countless clients with her unparalleled expertise and unwavering commitment.

If you are in need of a conveyancing solicitor who will go above and beyond to ensure a seamless and stress-free property transaction from start to finish, look no further than Ms. Claudia Morris at Hallmark Whatley Hulme. She is truly the epitome of excellence in the field of conveyancing - the gold standard in the industry - and her exceptional service will undoubtedly leave you with a newfound appreciation for the legal profession.

Second time I've used HWH and cannot fault

I had cause to use Sarah Watson during the summer of '24. I can only say that she was beyond exceptional throughout. Clare Burden has just been exceptional too, in sorted our wills out along with our accountant in what I can only describe as a very dire situation. Clare has completely put my mind at ease and I know that she will look after my family in the not too distant future - Thank you

Exceptional service Clare Burden

Clare provided an exceptional level of service. Very caring, showed empathy. Explained every aspect of LPA wills in great detail, offered extremely good advice which completely made sense. Clare was recommended and I will most certainly recommend her to any of my family or friends who need to do their wills or any other legal matter.
