First time buyer

This review is for a different branch.

As a first time buyer, I was a bit unsure which conveyancer to go for at first but thankfully, I was recommended Harrowells by a work colleague who had dealt with them previously. My case was assigned to Vicky Richardson, an exceptional conveyancer - Vicky was reliable, timely, friendly, and always responding to my emails promptly, keeping me updated. Vicky truly knows her trade and if you are looking for a genuinely good conveyancer to see your property transaction through, I honestly could not think of a better person to do the job.

I am very grateful to Harrowells, especially so Mr Black, he was professional, honest, knowledgeable and very reliable. He helped me with a home sale, and the results were better than I hoped, because of the effort he put in. I am very happy with the cost, and the service I received from this company. I entirely recommend them, have trust in knowing they will do the best they can for their clients. Many thanks.

Hi Courtney, Thank you so much for taking the time to post your review. We've passed on your thanks to Simon and are really pleased everything was sorted out for you.
