We were looked after by Siobhan O’Connor, who was a pleasure to deal with. Siobhan was approachable, thorough, accessible and patient at all times. We found her a reassuring presence throughout and would not hesitate to use Howell Jones Solicitors again.

Siobhan supported us with our purchase of a new build home. She was highly effective, diligent, clear on communication, calm and reassuring. We were confident that she put our interests first and she dealt well with and all issues that arose. We would highly recommend

Absolutely outstanding service and level of technical knowledge. Would recommend to anyone needing the services. We will definitely be using again and recommending to all friends/family.

Howell Jones was recommended to me by the selling agents. I decided to go with them and was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and friendliness. They were on top of all aspects of conveyancing and always had my interests to the fore. I have to say they were very reasonable in their pricing as well. I have no hesitation in recommending their services and would definitely use them again.

 

We used Howell-Jones to act on our behalf for a remortgage. They were fantastic. Super Efficient and responsive. We couldn’t have asked for better and will certainly use them again in the future. Special thanks to Siobhan.

I want to assure you and Shahida that I was very pleased with the excellent service we received with the sale of the above property. Although there was no chain and the buyer was a cash buyer, as attorneys, we were at risk of considerable complexities if my mother died mid process. So speed was of the essence.

I agreed an offer on the 2nd Oct. I got sale documents on the 12th Oct and Exchange and Completion was achieved on 11th Nov. Considering we are in the middle of a pandemic, the property was in Lancashire, in lockdown, my sister and I are in different counties and the property was not Land registered the speed was outstanding. Siobhan and I had to resolve some tricky boundary issues along the way and on all our discussions we came to quick and satisfactory solutions.

So thank you very much to you both.

You can be sure I will be very happy to recommend your firm to family and friends.

Working with you was easily the best experience I have had in any of my property transactions – I am searching for another and will definitely be in touch with you when the right opportunity presents itself!

We used Siobhan for a sale and a purchase of a property. Absolutely outstanding service and level of technical knowledge. Would recommend to anyone needing the services. We will definitely be using again and recommending to all friends/family.

Siobhan recently handled a fairly complex sale of my property for me that was drawn out over a number of months. I have to say that her consistency, communication with me and attention to detail at every stage of the process was faultless. We’ve had an excellent relationship over the last 6 months and I am so grateful that she was our acting on my behalf. Her personal, friendly and supportive approach is something I have not experienced in previous interactions that I’ve had with law firms and ‘in my opinion’ makes Siobhan a very valuable member of the Howell Jones team.

If I could give more stars I would. Siobhan was everything you could possibly want in a lawyer. She was responsive, clued up on all the latest legislations and was a pleasure to deal with start to finish. I would highly recommend Howell Jones, and in particular Siobhan, to anyone thinking of buying or selling. 11/10 for service.

Last Friday we completed and we’ve been spending the last few days moving into our new home. As I am sure you know, purchasing a house in the UK does not have a great reputation. I have heard horror stories from friends and colleagues of never ending paperwork, solicitors who required constant chasing and continual ambiguity.

I just wanted to let you both know that thanks to Siobhan, our experience bore no resemblance to this at all. From our first interactions Siobhan has been nothing other than fantastic, and I am so pleased that we had her in our corner. Through every step of the purchase Siobhan explained what we were doing and why. If we had questions or queries getting hold of her was easy and her calm approach always allayed any concerns that we had. Toward the end of the purchase, when our seller was being difficult, her pragmatic but firm advice was invaluable. Even at the end of the purchase Siobhan continues to be supportive and has answered my panicked queries about land registry alerts.

Working with her and Howell Jones has been a pleasure – so much so that I’ll be in touch next week about getting some wills written with someone in the team.

Howell Jones have been the most incredible solicitors throughout our sale and purchase of a property. Whilst several chains sadly fell apart their service and prompt responses kept everything moving efficiently and as quickly as possible at all times. We worked with them for 18 months and cannot recommend them more highly (and have done to everyone we know). Siobhan was our solicitor and came back to us immediately every time we needed her. Even when she was away on holiday and other colleagues were the point of contact, the service remained exceptional and there were never delays in our process as a result of our solicitors. If you’re buying or selling a property there is no one better than Siobhan. Thank you Siobhan for everything you have done, from me and the whole family.
