Cannot recommend James and the team highly enough! As a first time buyer, James' expertise was invaluable. He helped to make the whole process so smooth and timely, explaining everything well and swiftly answering my many questions along the way! Thank you!
I have worked with three different solicitors during my property searches and purchases in the UK, and Nicky Cummins has been by far the best. Throughout the entire process, communication was excellent. She kept me informed at every stage, responded to questions promptly, and explained legal matters in a clear and understandable way. In a sector where waiting days or even weeks for a response can unfortunately be common, her responsiveness was genuinely refreshing. What impressed me most was the quality of the advice provided. Rather than simply processing paperwork, she took the time to explain the implications of different issues and helped me make informed decisions throughout the transaction. After experiencing multiple property purchases and failed transactions over the past year, I have a good basis for comparison, and the difference in service quality was obvious. Professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and highly responsive. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor.
Excellent service from start to end !!! James W. handled both our sale and purchase. Our sale was complicated from start to finish, taking nearly five months to complete, and it became extremely stressful towards the end. We couldn’t have done it without his incredible support, attention to detail, expert advice, and patience in answering our endless questions every day. Looking back, I know just how difficult the process was, and I’m certain we wouldn’t have managed it without him. I would highly recommend James to anyone buying or selling a home. He went above and beyond for us and is simply the best. James thank you for everything !!!! Gosia and Rafal
Highly recommend Harrison's. Wouldn't change anywhere else. Price is highly compatible and fantastic service. Jame at 7 Castle Street office is very knowledgeable and professional.
I had a very poor experience with Harrisons Solicitors, especially as a first-time buyer. What should have been an exciting milestone quickly turned stressful due to their lack of transparency and poor client service. From the outset, the documentation was unclear, and we encountered hidden fees that weren’t disclosed until after we had already paid the initial £450. When we raised concerns about the lack of clarity, and politely asked if there is anything that can be done, as we would not have chosen them, should the additional fees have been clear, the situation only got worse. We were passed on to Julien, who was not only unhelpful but outright rude and dismissive. Rather than offering support or attempting to resolve our concerns, he focused on correcting the spelling of his name and was incredibly patronising throughout. His attitude was essentially: we're right, you're wrong and if you don't like it, go elsewhere. So after a lot of stress and upset we did move. The communication and attitude of Julien was appalling. Since switching solicitors, the difference has been night and day. Our new firm has been proactive, clear, and supportive throughout the process—highlighting just how poor Harrisons' service really was. The delays, lack of initiative, and poor communication at Harrisons were not just frustrating, they were completely avoidable. I've also spoken with others who’ve had similarly negative experiences with Harrisons, including repeated delays, unprofessional email exchanges, and even confidential documents being sent to the wrong recipients. Based on my experience (and that of others), I would not recommend Harrisons Solicitors to anyone.
I have rarely ever been more thankful to someone I don't know personally. Myself and my partner used Harrisons twice this year as part of the process of buying our new home. When things became tricky with our buyer James had all the answers and we are extremely grateful to him and Grace for their hard work. Harrisons were recommended to us and I can see why, we will be recommending them ourselves. Thanks so much, Peter & Emma
I have used Harrison's Solicitors for selling two houses, and on both occasions have been very pleased with the service I have received. On my latest house sale, from initial instruction to exchange of contract took less than two months, despite the buyer's solicitors being fairly disorganised. James and Grace went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed in time and I am delighted with the service I have had from them.
