Hewitson and Harker Solicitors Bewertungen 

I would not hesitate to recommend H&H. Claire, Isabelle, Tas and team were fantastic throughout our conveyancing process, which was not the smoothest experience through absolutely no fault of their own! Aside from being efficient and giving sound legal advice, I said to Claire the difference is they pick the phone up, every time. Brilliant basics make the client experience.

A huge thank you to Emily Bogie who helped me to complete on my expat mortgage today. She was super efficient and kept me informed the whole time.
Thanks Emily!

The thought of moving home after over 40 years was daunting, I ned not have worried. The H&H team ensured that the legal process ran smoothly.
Yes there were lots of essential form filling questions to complete but this was simplified by the available help from the team as required.
Victoria Hawcroft being extremely efficient when dealing with queries and bringing the sale /purchase process to a satisfactory and fast conclusion.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service provided by both Joanne and Amy.
From the very beginning, you have demonstrated exceptional professionalism, clarity, and dedication. Every stage of the process was handled with efficiency, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.
What impressed me most was the consistent communication—every query was answered promptly, every concern was addressed with patience, and every step was explained in a way that made the entire experience stress-free and easy to understand. It is clear that you not only possesses deep legal expertise but also value client care at the highest level.

I felt fully supported throughout, and the guidance I received was reassuring. The level of diligence, transparency, and courtesy shown by you truly exceeded my expectations.

I am incredibly grateful for your hard work and exceptional service. I would not hesitate to recommend H&H Solicitors to anyone seeking reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely client-focused legal support!

Most important for me was being able to speak to someone when I needed to . Good communication was very important to me. I know the estate agents always got prompt responses to any queries which made the whole process so much easier to navigate.
Filling the forms in online was quite simple and it was more convenient than having lots of paperwork to sort out.
The staff were always helpful. All in all it has been a positive experience and everything went very smoothly

Claire and Tasnia as well as the rest of the team have provided a first class service and have been absolutely fantastic at every step of the process.

They have been speedy and thorough. They were also extremely helpful in answering queries I had.

Absolutely wonderful service provided by great people. Have already recommended them to a friend and will seek to use Hewitson and Harker going forward for all needs.

Clear communication through the whole process.

Amy and Samantha were brilliant throughout once they got a hold of our case it went a lot smoother and they answered all our queries and phonecalls to which there was many as it was a long process haha but done now thankyou so much 😊

We experienced an absolutely excellent service, throughout our house sale/purchase.Always professional, highly knowledgeable,and very supportive when required.Their response times were impressive and they were quick to get in touch on the occasions when we did request a callback.The cost of services were very fair in view of the time span,and workload involved.

I recently used the Rotherham branch to sell and buy and had a terrible experience. They didn't bother to check what my requirements were, and like I've just read from others on here, I had errors on my completion statements. I'm not sure if they know how to use a calculator properly. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

AVOID THIS FIRM AT ALL COSTS - ABSOLUTELY USELESS

UPDATE 09.01.2026 - The aggressive response from this firm should tell you everything you need to know.

I used Hewitson & Harker for my house sale and purchase and it was a disaster from start to finish. What should have been a straightforward process dragged on for over six months, and we didn’t complete it until February 2025, despite being told we’d be in before Christmas.

I was six months pregnant by the time we moved, and the stress they caused was unbelievable.

The worst part? Their team consistently failed to chase anything or move the process forward. Our buyer's solicitor was just as useless and between them both I wish I had stopped the process sooner and found another Solicitor.

Between Georgina, Emily and Daria I can’t tell you who was the biggest waste of time. “Chasing,” but nothing ever actually got done. Weeks of no progress and constantly “awaiting replies” instead of actually pushing for them. Between them, they managed to turn what should’ve been a routine sale into a months-long nightmare.

Rather than reaching out for documentation required from Gateshead Council, Highways Agency, Local Authorities - this was all pushed back to me to source (so no idea what I was actually paying for?)

Failed to mention to us that after ONE MONTH the searches had not been completed and our buyers had not paid for the searches at their end.

Had to send documentation directly to our buyer's solicitor as Georgina and Emily didn’t understand how WeTransfer works…

I ended up reaching out to my previous solicitors to check I wasn’t losing the plot and he absolutely agreed they should have been doing much more and this should not have been put onto me.

On the day of exchange we hadn’t heard anything by 2pm…so I asked Emily to chase all teams in the chain. She advised she had emailed them earlier that morning and that she had other things to do so there was nothing more she could do…. AT 2PM????? One email between 9am and 5pm is frankly a JOKE when we were at the finish line.

Despite us completing every task immediately — paperwork, ID, payments — the solicitors repeatedly stalled. From August to December 2024, the same excuses appeared over and over in the case notes: still waiting on searches, still waiting on enquiries, still waiting on updates, still chasing, still nothing. The amount of time wasted is shocking.

They knew we needed to move before Christmas. They even acknowledged this in their own notes. Yet they still failed to push anything forward with urgency. The incompetence was unbelievable.

We ended up moving in February, exhausted, stressed, and after months of preventable delays caused almost entirely by their poor handling of our case.

If you value your time, sanity, or money: do NOT use this firm.

I don’t want compensation, I don’t want an apology — I just want to warn others before they make the same mistake.

Absolutely wonderful experience with the sale of my house. My conveyancer was very efficient with frequent communication on the progress of the sale. All queries answered the same day. Would highly recommend them for conveyancing.

Would highly recommend these solicitors. Received friendly professional advice and kept up to date with progress on our sale and purchase.

I wanted to thanks particularly to Daria Kaczmarek and Emilia Plant. They were very professional, helpful and quick in resolving different matters. Our house purchase went swiftly and under 3 months, which is great achievement. Highly recommended!

We had some issues with communication to begin with, however this resolved itself and our conveyancer was good! The rating is brought down, as we recieved a wildly incorrect completion statement, then another still not right and then a chaser for money even after saying it had all been completed… a sour taste in our mouthes.

Claire Strawford dealt with our conveyancing and was absolutely fantastic.
She was incredibly responsive and pulled out all stops to get everything through by the stamp duty deadline on 31st March, despite numerous setbacks.
I cannot rate her highly enough.

Not a single fault. All questions and actions were resolved swiftly. Would not hesitate to recommend or use again. A special thanks to Lily for her continuous support and professionalism.

William was always available, helped explain the process, only service improvement I would recommend is a welcome call at the start. Portal was easy to use, communication was fab from Will and the team

It has been a smooth journey ever since I got introduced to Hewitson & Harker Limited and especially @Emma Loh and Emily who had both been solicitor and conveyance assistant respectively. They have both been very swift in responding to every email sent across with not act of rudeness but with robust professionalism throughout till the completion date.

It would be a pleasure to subsequently recommend them to colleagues who might be interested in using them to achieve mortgage goals.

With joy in our hearts, Victoria and Olumuyiwa says thank you and to every members of your crew...

Outstanding service from start to finish. I have just completed my sale and purchase in the most difficult chain you can imagine! Everything that could go wrong did. The whole team at Hewitson & Harker have been fantastic. Very responsive, professional, knowledge and friendly, they guided us through the whole process. One particular member of the team who absolutely went above and beyond is Victoria Hawcroft. She had to deal with some particularly terrible solicitors within our chain, and really held the whole chain together going the extra mile, her efforts are so appreciated and she's a real credit to the company. I would absolutely recommend Hewitson & Harker to anyone.
