Not taking on any new clients - Various cases against Durham police and Durham council & wouldn't advise who could help with case!

The experience of dealing with Hewitt’s was a very unpleasant and increasingly frustrating one.
I strongly advise avoiding them as, despite the charges, I was treated not as a client, but as if they were doing me a great favour.
Don't want to hear about them ever again

Truly appalling service, the previous reviewers comments ring true. Failed to deliver a quality professional service in nearly every way. Not calling to update at the end of key days such as exchange, causing confusion in the chain, very poor standard of email communication, even getting post codes wrong, poor grammar and spelling, you name it. I would not recommend this form to my worst enemy.

Sad to write am experiencing similar conduct from conveyancer at this time. Recognising the impact of COVID on all business, when a reasonable request for current status on outstanding documentation was requested I was given no appropriate detail and advised that I could contact the land registry myself. The information I justifiably requested, has now been provided, but I had to liaise with the branch manager, who achieved what the conveyancer previously refused to do. Previous experience of Hewitts had been good, hence choosing Hewitts for house purchase earlier this year, but, the current customer experience of the conveyancing, is below the standard previously experienced and, what I believe any client should be expected to accept. Hopefully, having highlighted concerns, the opportunity for improved communications will follow.

service was awful , straightforward cash purchase , no chain , no survey , it took them nine weeks ! the person doing the conveyancing was a clerk who went on holiday for two weeks in which time nothing was done towards the conveyance .
we almost lost our buyer . charge 495 pounds , i would recommend them to my old corporal and my mother in law .
