Do not use anyone else for your conveyancing.
I was shopping around for a local, Newham-based conveyancing firm and after several hours, shortlisted 5 firms. By far, Hawkins Law was the most highly rated but I wanted to get a range of quotes regardless. I contacted all the firms on my shortlist, and within MINUTES, I received a quote from Hawkins Law for my query which was very competitive. Some of the firms I had contacted didn't even bother replying, even after I had chased. As they say, first impressions count, so based on the reviews and the speedy response to my quote query (as well as the very reasonable quote), I decided to go with Hawkins Law.
Having had offer-to-completion within 8 weeks (although the vendor's solicitor was also a factor in this - 'it takes two to tango' as they say), I could not have made a better choice. The team are incredibly hard working, responsive (via email and phone), humble, and down to earth. When it was not possible to undertake digital compliance checks via a website, they were happy to be flexible and allow an in-person compliance check.
The way that the firm operates is also worth highlighting - many conveyancing firms are run by people who know property, but not people who know business. The team at Hawkins Law live and breathe property, but also have business acumen, and the slick operationalisation of the business really does play a part in the overall experience of the most important transaction of your life (the speedy provision of quotes as an example).
Huge thank you again to Mohshin, Aqilah,...
Read moreI had the pleasure of working with Rafka and her incredible team while purchasing my first home, and I couldn't be happier with the outstanding service they provided. Rafka and her team truly went above and beyond to make this entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Rafka, in particular, was an absolute professional. She navigated the complexities of the real estate transaction with finesse and skill, ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. Even when we encountered some challenges with the seller's solicitor, Rafka remained calm and composed, always striving to find solutions and ensuring our best interests were protected.
I also want to extend a special thanks to Aqila, whose dedication and support were invaluable throughout this journey. Aqila's expertise and commitment to her clients are truly commendable.
And let's not forget the man on the phone with the amazing positive voice! Buying a house can be an incredibly stressful experience, but he was always there to provide answers to all my questions and reassure me when I needed it most.
Rafka and her team exceeded my expectations in every way, and I am extremely grateful for their exceptional service. If you're looking for a solicitor who is not only highly professional but also genuinely cares about your well-being during such an important life event, I wholeheartedly recommend Rafka and her team. They are a true asset to anyone navigating the real estate market. Thank you all for making my first home buying experience a positive and...
Read moreExcellent solicitor services! I opted for Hawkins Law Ltd as my solicitors as I was very unhappy with a previous solicitor company that made me do a bulk of the leg work. I found Hawkins Law online after a few searches and read the Google Reviews. When I called them, they gave me excellent and honest advice, particularly on some specific issues to look out for on leasehold properties which can be tricky.
Last year a property fell through but I was very happy with the services that Hawkins Law provided as they guided me through a process that in the end was the right one. Had I not followed their advice I may have been stuck with some difficult issues on a property that they spotted. A year later, I found another property and went with Hawkins Law. This time the purchase was successful, and Hawkins Law's professional solicitors provided excellent service and guidance throughout what can be a very stressful process.
I'd thoroughly recommend Hawkins Law for solicitors services. They are extremely professional, easy to contact and available, thorough and meticulous with the paperwork and able to cut through the jargon to explain things to me in easy manner without reducing any complexities. They answered each and every major and minor question I had and were kind as well as extremely diligent throughout. They give you time and attention that many larger companies would not give, and that alone is worth the service you...
