What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In York, Newtons Solicitors Limited has built a reputation among clients for residential conveyancing, with instructions spanning sales, purchases and buy-to-let remortgages. More than one review highlights the professionalism of named staff, including Jess Carlin, Sarah Bell, Libby, Carolina, Isobel and James Cooper, who are described as patient, knowledgeable and quick to answer questions.

An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the quality of communication, with clients noting that updates arrived promptly and that they were kept informed at every stage, particularly during lengthy or problematic transactions. First-time buyers describe being guided through unfamiliar steps in plain language, while more experienced clients highlight how staff chased uncooperative solicitors to keep completions on track, including one case where an abortive sale and a bank outage on completion day were handled without panic. Buy-to-let investors note that difficulties encountered early in a matter were resolved once a different fee earner took over.

Customers writing about their orders describe the handling of stressful situations as calm and reassuring, and the service is consistently portrayed as efficient, responsive and thorough, with advice offered whenever decisions needed to be made. The recurring theme across the feedback is that clients felt supported throughout their transactions and would return for future property work, with conveyancing the specialism that features most often.

Asked if they could help me with verifying an ID1 form and was told no, unless I was an existing client. Definitely off my shortlist for future legal work

I was recommended Newtons by our estate agents for the sale of our house. I dealt mainly with Sarah, Libby & Carolina who were all professional and friendly. They answered any questions I had quickly, and offered advice when I needed it. I would definitely use Newtons again.

I found Newtons, extremely professional, very helpful with my situation. I dealt with James Cooper and found him to be very competent and knowledgeable when discussing potential scenarios surrounding my case, thus resulting in a positive outcome, would recommend Newtons for any of your legal requirements.

We had a fantastic experience working with James Cooper at Newtons Solicitors in York on our commercial law enquiry. From our initial consultation through to completion, James and his team handled everything with exceptional professionalism. What particularly impressed us was their responsiveness, questions were answered promptly, often within hours, and all advice was communicated in clear, straightforward language that we could easily understand. We're extremely satisfied with the service we received and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Newtons Solicitors to anyone requiring commercial law expertise.

I was a first time buyer and had no idea what I was doing or how the process worked. I went with Newton's after looking at several solicitors and I'm soo glad I did. I worked with Sarah Bell (with Jessica s support) , who was excellent! She kept me continuously informed throughout the entire process and answered any questions I had. Thank you so much Sarah! 😊
