David Williams dealt with the sale of our property. He was very professional, efficient and polite. The price was also very reasonable!

Susan Howarth & Co Solicitors did a fantastic job with my house sale. They did an excellent job of keeping me up to date throughout the process and handled everything professionally. John Spittle handled my sale and made sure I was kept informed of any relevant developments and made me feel comfortable with all of the paperwork. Lisa Richardson was also extremely helpful and extremely professional.

After an initial conversation with the solicitor and contacting them twice to let them know where I was upto. I was still waiting over 5 weeks for them to contact me to set up a file and take details. I found another solicitor in the end as they were just an absolute waste of time.

I have completed a house purchase twice now with David Williams at Susan Howarth over the last few years. Both experiences have been excellent. David and the whole team have always been professional, friendly and very responsive throughout the process.

We used David Williams and Julie Brown for our conveyancing in the sale of our property and were very pleased with the service provided. Despite the challenges of a very busy housing market and recent flooding we were kept up to date with the latest situation and couldn't find fault at all. We had two calls near completion date to confirm things were still progressing to plan. We would definitely recommend and not hesitate to use Susan Howarth & Co again. Thanks again.

I have used various legal services on offer and have always found this company to be professional and caring. The paperwork has been manageable and well explained. I have been able to conduct on-going business, remotely, throughout the Pandemic in 2020, which has challenged us all.

Clear, concise professional advice. Delivered in a very personal manner, which was both pleasing and informative. Emma Stride took the time to explain the complexities involved in formulating our joint wills. We left with a greater understanding of what we had requested. She gave enough time to ensure all our questions and fears were dealt with. We would use this company again.

We were very pleased with the service that we received in setting up new wills. Emma explained the process clearly and made it easy to do what we needed to. She was particularly helpful in respect of drawing our attention to, and dealing with, some aspects that we had not previously thought about. The documents were provided promptly, as were responses to the questions we had. Overall I would not hesitate to use Susan Howarth again.
