What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

First homes and straightforward sales dominate the instructions described, and the same two names surface again and again in the accounts. Jamie is credited with turning what buyers expected to be a laborious transaction into something personable and easy to follow, explaining each step so that nothing felt rushed. Imogen Thompson draws comparable comments, with purchasers noting her prompt replies, close attention to detail and the calm way she handled a completion that proved less than simple. A detail many reviews return to is how quickly contracts were exchanged, and several customers remark on the reassurance of hearing back the same day.

Paul is named in connection with letters of administration and the sale of a property within an estate, both described as smooth and clearly explained. Wills and powers of attorney also appear among the matters clients brought to the firm, often after earlier family instructions. Several accounts note being kept informed, having questions answered plainly and receiving friendly, professional treatment from everyone involved. Return visits for future moves and other legal needs are commonly stated, alongside relief that a supposedly stressful process ran efficiently.

We worked with Jamie at HLF Berry on our recent sale, and purchase of our new home. He made, what can be a difficult and laborious process....personable, clear, succinct, and very enjoyable. I cannot recommend HLF Berry and specifically Jamie enough, and will be going back to use him again for any other property purchases or other specific legal needs in the future. Just a brilliant service.

Imogen Olivia Thompson was our solicitor for our house purchase as first time buyers. Excellent service and wouldnt hesitate to recommend HLF Berry. Imogen was always contactable and responded to our queries immediately. We had heard horror stories about conveyancers but that is definitely not the case here. Thanks for all your hard work with our first home purchase!

I had an excellent experience with HLF Berry Solicitors, particularly working with Jamie Cahill on my recent house purchase. Jamie was incredibly responsive and approachable throughout the entire process, always making himself available to answer any questions and provide clear, practical guidance. He also prepared very helpful summaries of what would otherwise have been a large volume of paperwork, which made everything much easier to understand and meant I was never overwhelmed by legal jargon. Buying a property can often be stressful, but Jamie made the experience straightforward and well-managed from start to finish. I would highly recommend both Jamie and HLF Berry to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing service.

Getting to that stage of life where me and friends are lucky enough to be able to do the whole mortgage malarky and it had become a bit of a joke that no-one was ever happy with their solicitors and wouldn't recommend them... Thank you to HLF Berry for bucking this trend! I choose Jamie Cahill because he had worked with my parents on their wills and PoAs recently. I was incredibly happy with his support and service throughout. Jamie replied promptly to emails and was always available for a quick phone call when I had questions. He explained things clearly and concisely and was honest about possible pitfalls of the process and property I was purchasing. The staff at reception were always very friendly and helpful whenever I popped by or phoned the office. It's really nice to have a local family solicitor who I can rely on and trust going forwards!

We bought our first house and chose HLF Berry to be our conveyancers, and we are so glad we did! Imogen has made the entire move, which we were told would be one of the most stressful things we would do, absolutely seamless. My emails were answered so quickly and I was constantly kept in the loop of everything that was going on. We won't hesitate to use HLF Berry again for our next move and will recommend to anyone who is moving. Thank you again :)

Absolutely amazing service for first time buyers. Imogen was absolutely amazing throughout the buying process and helped us through a tricky period where the purchase wasn’t straightforward. She was always prompt in any emails communication and explained everything in a straightforward manner. Thank you Imogen!

We had a fantastic experience with Jamie from HLF Berry during the purchase of our first home. Communication was excellent and took much of the stress out of what can be a daunting process, always explaining each step clearly and making sure we fully understood everything before moving forwards. We’re very grateful for his support and would highly recommend HLF Berry to anyone buying a home.
