What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Ison Harrison Solicitors handles a substantial share of residential conveyancing work, and reviewers consistently highlight the same strengths across purchases and sales. Various customers describe a smooth path to completion, including a retirement home purchase and a long house sale, with the firm praised for keeping transactions moving and meeting agreed timelines. Olivia Robinson, Olivia Williams, Debbie Hardcastle, Emily Jemison, Zoe Harris, Natalie Beckett and Nick all receive warm mentions, and a point that comes up often is how clearly named staff explained each stage to buyers who had never been through the process before.

First-time buyers in particular note patience when an initial purchase fell through and prompt, plain answers to their questions. Fair pricing is another recurring theme, with one client reporting that the final figure matched the quote given at the outset, a detail echoed by others who expected conveyancing to be far more complicated than it proved. Communication before and after key milestones, diligence, and a calm approach when complications arose are all singled out, as is the willingness to take on a related sale once a purchase was underway. Professionalism and courtesy run through the accounts of property matters.

Appalling communication from Olivia and her “assistant/partner” in Conveyancing. Told one thing from Olivia and another thing from the other member of staff which resulted in a set back on our completion date. We had gone 2 weeks at one point without hearing back from her and whilst we were in an important stage of our completion, she left for annunal leave with no communication or proper hand over to another solicitor (her assistant/partner) who then also had no clue and gave us the wrong information and said the opposite to what Olivia had previously told us. We eventually spoke with the Manager of Conveyancing (I believe that’s the title) who was AMAZING and so so helpful. She stayed in contact and informed us of every single thing. She stayed behind at work to make sure things were completed and made our final completion date possible. We were reassured that certain solicitors would be getting further training to better their knowledge so hopefully that is true because when you’re paying a Solicitor 4 figures you expect to recieve correct information, support and professionalism.

Churchill Living recommended Ison Harrison for the purchase of my retirement home and that turned out to be great advice. I was assigned a dedicated person, Olivia Williams, ably assisted by Olivia Robinson who guided me through the whole process. So impressed was I, by the early contact, that I asked them to handle the sale of my property as well. Throughout my dealings with the two Olivia's they were professional, courteous and responsive. No problem was too small and they handled my queries and concerns with empathy and understanding. The target dates were all met and in my view it was a very satisfactory experience. I wouldn't hestitate to recommend Ison Harrison and in particular Olivia Williams and Olivia Robinson for any conveyancing work you require.

This is going to be a long one so I will leave the TLDR at the bottom. As first time buyers my wife and I were quite anxious going into this whole process. We did not actually know anything about Ison Harrison. Once we got talking to Olivia Robinson everything became quite clear that we were in amazing hands. She completely understood that we were first time buyers and I especially wanted to know everything about the whole process and everything going on behind the scenes. Olivia took the time to walk me through everything even when it was parts I did not need to know she still told me which I cannot thank enough. She completely understood all parts of anxiety buying our first home and helped us through every question we had. We have had multiple calls and only god knows how many emails back and forth with Olivia Robinson and not once did she come across rude or anything. She stayed professional and friendly and when stress levels and emotions are high this is exactly what you need. Even after me asking the same questions over and over again she was still happy to help. We expected the Solicitors to quite frankly cost a lot more then it did just because of how much extra work it felt Olivia Robinson was putting in if I am honest however the cost of the Solicitors was well made. I would recommend Ison Harrison and specifically Olivia Robinson to other First Time Buyers given the chance. TLDR - Ison Harrison are great. Olivia Robinson is one amazing solicitor to work with.

Ison Harrison solicitors in York, were absolutely brilliant in getting us into our new Keepmoat home in Gainsborough, and I'd like a special mention to Olivia Williams and her colleague Olivia Robinson. They were very proactive in pushing forward our exchange and completion and very reasonably priced, what they quoted, I actually paid, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a conveyancing solicitor 😊

Olivia Robinson was always really lovely and helpful when dealing with our first house purchase, and got everything together in time for the move date we really wanted

We used Ison Harrison as our solicitors as first time buyers. Emily Jemison and Zoe Harris dealt with our case. They were both absolutely fantastic. Very patient when our initial place fell through and great at providing clear answers to any questions we had. I would use them again with no hesitation.

Sam Moore was just amazing and her support was fabulous in buying our place . Fully recommend. Can’t speak for other staff but she was just professional and gave solid advice, provided clarity as first time buyers and followed up. Her follow up skill is Topnotch even without asking. My family and I are in the best of hands and really grateful for her support.
