Friendly, helpful, competent advice

Tom represented me in the process of agreeing a settlement agreement with a previous employer. He was friendly, reliable, communicated very clearly and was helpful and easy to work with. Recommended.

Smooth process but a bit over-zealous

HC were able to over a competitive price for the conveyancing, I assume as they were acting as conveyancing solicitor for many clients in the same development. The process was completed well by the apprentice paralegal with no undue delays. The lease guide was particularly useful as it summarised the main parts of the lease well. I was assisting my daughter to buy her flat but unfortunately HC then insisted on a Capacity confirmation, and presented a high fee if I were to do this via themselves. I instead went to our GP who provided the necessary letter without problem for a nominal fee. I felt this was a bit over-zealous of HC and can only imagine it was a way to increase revenue.

Excellent from start to finish

I was in a time pressured situation to purchase a new build home, with a strict deadline. From the first time I spoke to HC, they were absolutely excellent - all queries answered straight away, communication was great - everyone I spoke to (Mary-Jane, Emily, Jessica) knew their stuff & did what they said they would do. We ended up being in a position to exchange earlier than we had to be, because HC were so on top of the legal work. I would be happy to recommend them for conveyancing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Service

We had an excellent experience working with Herrington Carmichael during our mortgage process. Everything was handled promptly, clearly and with genuine care. The entire process felt smooth and well-organized from start to finish.

We want to particularly thank Holly and Lauren for their professionalism, responsiveness, and clarity throughout. Holly consistently went above and beyond to keep things on track and explain next steps in plain English, and Lauren ensured every document was reviewed and submitted quickly, with no delays or confusion.

It's rare to find a legal team that combines deep expertise with such approachability and warmth. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone buying a home. Absolutely top-tier service — thank you again.

Using their services for our first home based on builders recommendation. Guess made a mistake. Feels like they are more of my builders solicitor and not ours.
Initial interaction feels transactional, requested to meet our solicitor which was refused and asked for more money for this.
No sense of empathy or intention of help. Feels like made a mistake, should have chosen local solicitor.

I have recently completed on my first property and used Ellena as my conveyancer. She was absolutely amazing and made the whole process as easy as it could be for me. Her thoroughness and attention to detail gave me complete piece of mind and she was always on the ball with updates. As well as being super approachable and patient with all of my questions. Could not recommend anyone more.
