What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Transactional conveyancing sits at the heart of the work described by clients of this York practice, whether they are selling a long-held property, buying at auction or stepping onto the housing ladder for the first time. Michael Leaf is singled out for efficiency and patience with the questions that first-time buyers inevitably raise, while Holly Knight draws comparable appreciation for steering unpredictable sales through to completion.

Reviewers frequently return to the pace and clarity of responses by telephone and email, with progress updates arriving before they were requested, and to the calm manner in which complications were absorbed without drama. Charley is credited with meeting an auction deadline, and Lynne and Amy are named for fielding numerous queries and keeping clients at ease. The broader team is portrayed as friendly, supportive and detailed from instruction through to completion, handling routine legal matters in good order and inspiring confidence that matters rested in capable hands. Clients state they would instruct the firm again for a future move.

I was selling a property on behalf of a family member and asked Holly to act as our solicitor. It's fair to say the sale was long and anything but straight forward due to circumstances arising that noone could have predicted. Holly was fantastic as were her team. She responded to telephone calls and emails promptly, kept me upto date with everything that was happening and I honestly felt nothing was too much trouble for her. Her kindness and professionalism are second to none and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her.

From start to finish, the entire process was managed with exceptional professionalism and efficiency. Buying a property can often be stressful, but your team made it seamless and straightforward. Communication was always prompt and clear, which gave me complete confidence that everything was in capable hands. I would highly recommend Cowling Swift & Kitchin to anyone looking for a reliable and expert conveyancing solicitor.

Great service, very supportive and detailed. Engaged them to handle a sale and purchase of a house. Both went through without any significant issues (typical legal stuff, all handled in good order), and they kept me up to speed with everything that was going on. Big thank you to Lynne for entertaining my numerous questions and keeping me at ease throughout!
