Smooth and affordable service, let down by communication

Quote given was accurate, the conveyancing ran to expected timelines with any documentation being made available as needed. Professional and knowledgeable. However, on every occasion I was promised a call back by reception, the call back never came. Also, some advice was received far too late in the conveyance to be of any use. To anyone well versed in conveyances this is an excellent service, first time buyers will feel a little left in the dark.

Overall Experience

From start to finish the overall experience was professional and speedy, the cost was competitive and straightforward. I accept that electronic communication is the cheapest and speediest way of contact but it would have been appreciated to have at least one contact with a face to face person dealing with the matter.

About this branch

Description

Many people are reluctant to speak to solicitors for a number of reasons but unnecessary delays can make the situation worse. As part of Hewitts commitment to our clients, we offer a free initial telephone consultation to discuss your problem and explain where you stand. If we believe legal proceedings are not in your best interests we will advise you not to go ahead. If you have a case, and wish to proceed, we will give you a clear quote of the cost. And if your case is eligible for legal aid you can leave the arrangements to us.
