What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Hopkins Solicitors handles a broad mix of private and business legal work, and reviewers repeatedly highlight the clarity of the advice they receive. Deepa comes in for particular praise for explaining legal documentation carefully during meetings and for steering a land purchase through with clear, timely updates that kept clients confident throughout. William, assisted by Gillian, is credited with making transactions straightforward, staying calm when other parties caused problems, and remaining courteous and efficient during a property sale.

A pretty typical conveyancing experience unfortunately. They didn't cause any major issues with my sale but as per my experience with most conveyancing solicitors has been they had a lack of attention to detail and required constant chasing to achieve anything. For example despite being told I had agreed a new sale price with the buyer three times already they still put the wrong amount on the final sale contract that I had to correct at point of signing. They also seem to be unwilling to embrace technology requiring me to make a costly visit to their offices just to sign things that could have been done remotely. Still I am giving them 4 stars because they were friendly and got my sale completed in the end, and as I mention my standards for conveyancing solicitors are pretty low from past experience so the fact they didn't actively delay or de-rail the sale is the best I can say of any solicitor it seems!

We received truly first-class service from Deepa throughout our land purchase. Communication was excellent at every stage; clear, timely, and reassuring, which made the entire process feel seamless and well managed. Deepa was professional yet friendly, and most importantly, exceptionally efficient. The conveyance progressed very swiftly, and we were kept fully informed at every step, giving us complete confidence from start to finish. If all staff work to the standard Deepa demonstrated, then clients are very much in safe hands. We would wholeheartedly recommend Hopkin’s Solicitors and will absolutely use their services again for any future purchases or legal work. Thank you again Deepa for your excellent service - Yvette & Tony

Myself and my partner individually bought and sold a house using Hopkins Solicitors. Our solicitor on both occasions was Sarah Ogilvy. Throughout both processes she was extremely efficient, calm and professional. She always seemed to be one step ahead which, when buying (and selling) is so important to provide reassurances and alleviate any unnecessary anxiety or stress. Over the phone and in person she was also very personable. We wouldn’t hesitate in using Hopkins again in the future and would thoroughly recommend Sarah. Thank you for everything.

Unfortunately my experience was negative and I would most definitely not recommend. My divorce was/and is incredibly acrimonious and complicated. Hopkins were simply not equipped to deal with such a case. On occasions when I expressed my disappointment and concerns about the way my case was being handled, the response I received was well you know where the door is!!!! Unfortunately I had to spend thousands more on an entire new legal team to take over the case.. who are doing an excellent job by comparison .
