Having bought and sold houses a few times in the past I was dreading the conveyancing process having had bad experiences before, however I've been…

extremely impressed by Jack ball and his team at Holmes and hills dealing with my shared ownership staircasing I gave them a really tight deadline which they achieved, I felt guided and informed throughout and they actually stuck to the quote I was originally given which has never happened in my past conveyancing experiences, I didn't need to chase them at all and I received regular updates. Rachel Higgins provided a transparent easy to understand final bill and supported us at the end of our transaction Thank you for the stress free experience

Jack Bull and his team, especially Ryan were excellent.

i received a fantastic service from them helping to sell my shared ownership flat. the charged exactly what was quoted, they informed me every step of the way. I am also using Holmes and Hills with the purchase of my house as well. I can't highly recommend them enough.

Despite an excruciating 5-6 months of waiting to complete on our house purchase.

Sarah, Ryan, Beth, Rachel and Callie were absolutely fabulous the whole way through. Sarah and Ryan brought us so far into our purchasing journey and were so so responsive and always quick to respond even if there was not full update. Thank you so much

I’d avoid this lot at any cost!

day light robbery when it came to fees! Benjamin Jerome, a so called associate of theirs is an utter disgrace to this profession. This guy is not even a proper solicitor yet this greedy immoral character was representing the seller whom I purchased a property from recently. His behaviour was appalling, an embarrassment to the legal profession and the type of individual who would sell dandruff off of his hair if he could get a few quid. This guy had the audacity to charged me £2,000 for changing the date on an existing Deed of Variation which would have been a cut and paste process and for this most other solicitors firm would perhaps charge up to £400. This cowardly individual tried to bully the seller into serving a Notice to Complete resulting me in almost loosing my deposit just so he got extra fees in top of the approximate £10k or so he made from this transaction. Shameful behaviour! Having owned several properties and dealt with various solicitors over the last 26 years this was by far the worst experience I’ve had. When complained to his head of commercial, someone called Laura, she became very defensive and point blank refused to take my complaint on and stated that I’m not a client of theirs and therefore, she would not continue the conversation. I then approached the Solicitors Regulation Authority who begged to differ on the matter and stated one doesn’t have to be a client to submit a complaint. They will be looking into the conducts of the two above individuals. This isn’t over yet!

I had an appointment with Carol and she put me at ease and had such a friendly manner.
