We used Hewitts for both the sale and purchase of our properties and Emma Haworth was our solicitor. Emma was absolutely fantastic throughout both the sale and purchase and I could not recommend her highly enough. She was extremely knowledgable, thorough and conscientious and worked incredibly hard to process quite a complicated sale and purchase in an extremely timely manner. Emma went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase a property.

Where do i even start!! After an absolute horrifying experience with our buyers of our old houses solicitors, we would not be sat in our lovely new home if it wasn’t for the expertise and brilliant service from the Newbuild team (especially Kelly Hind and Bethany Scott), they updated me daily, sometimes multiple times a day, were always able to ring if i needed something explaining in a simpler way, they absolutely chased and pushed to get us over the line in time to avoid stamp duty, they understood our urgency and dealt with everything in a timely manner.

I instructed Sophie Lamont on a case and received fantastic support and advice throughout proceedings. Sophie was efficient and concise when sharing and providing information and was a constant support throughout the proceedings. Very child focused, which was important.

We went with Hewitts as our solicitors to buy our first home and they’ve been fantastic. From day one, they’ve been available and approachable in branch, via email, and on the phone.
Bethany and Kelly are a credit to their organisation, and we’d definitely choose Hewitts again for legal advice.

i used Hewitt's in Stockton to resolve my divorce. in 4 month of being there customer ive had 3 different solicitors because they all keep leaving the frim. ive been asked the same questions over and over again and been charged for the communications each time. i was told when i instructed them that £200 a month would cover the fees roughly and in 4 months they have had over £2000 and are now demanding another £500 on top off the £200 monthly payments. ive verbally in person raised a complaint and in writing and a week later i am now having to chase that complaint up as ive not had a single piece off communication from them. ive been waiting 4 weeks for them to phone me and arrange a meeting to discuss financial discloser and not had a thing back. ive asked for this to be rectified several times and nothing
at the minuet i really cant recommend them to anyone

A smart, welcoming premises. The receptionist was very understanding and skilled at keeping us at our ease under trying circumstances. The solicitor who subsequently attended to us did so in a highly professional manner and was clearly very knowledgeable in her field.

We used Hewitts conveyancing services for both our house sale and purchase. Our solicitor Danielle Sullivan was absolutely fantastic throughout. Despite Danielle and her secretary Jasmin Dolan being exceptionally busy, and working in the middle of a pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, they always had time to answer any questions we had, and gave us regular updates, providing professional advice and reassurance through what is a very stressful time. Highly recommend 🌟

awful! A serious lack of communication to keep their customer up to date and you as the customer have to continuously chase for them and still never got a response Would strongly not recommend in any way, use a different firm research first

We are an expert in this field 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.
