Lucy Lawrenson dealt with all matters promptly, efficiently and professionally with regular clear communication. We particularly appreciated her pro-active advice regarding stamp duty land tax which ultimately led to a significant reduction in the amount payable. Happy to highly recommend her services.

As well as Peter Howe, I've had the pleasure of dealing with Sara Evans (Legal Secretary) and Margaret Gale, who dealt with estate and probate, and later introduced me to Peter for my conveyancing. I've already recorded my high regard for Margaret, who was immensely helpful. Sara has been a delight to speak to, and Peter has dealt clearly and patiently with a protracted and frustrating sale. His advice has been shrewd and helpful. He was most considerate too in seeing through the exchange of contracts when it eventually happened. I'm very grateful.
A representative from Hart Brown responded to this review on 21 July, 2025:
Thank you for this wonderful review, we will pass your feedback to the Cobham team now so Peter, Sara and Margaret can see it. We hope we can assist you again in the future if you ever need us.

Lucy was assigned this case due to the original solicitor leaving the firm and came in half way through a difficult lease extension for not only my property but the whole block. Undaunted, Lucy took up the reins and got the extension over the line which was no easy task due to the complexities. During this lease extension period, Lucy also took up the sale of my flat including liaising with another lawyer within Hart Brown to ensure the sale of my property and the purchase of another property completed on the same day to ensure the smooth transfer of the mortgage from one property to the other with no penalties.
A representative from Hart Brown responded to this review on 03 July, 2025:
Thank you for this detailed review. We are so pleased to read that you are happy with the service Lucy has provided. We will pass your kind feedback on.

A smooth process from start to finish which given that we were selling one property and buying another with two different lawyers within the same group could not have been easy. The communication within Hart Brown between the two lawyers and matching up for the smooth transfer if a mortgage was excellent. Good communication throughout the process and would not hesitate to recommend Lawrence or Lucy the other lawyer involved.
