Absolutely fantastic firm,great…
Absolutely fantastic firm,great communication!
Very pleased , would absolutely recommend to anyone
We received fantastic service from the HMD Legal team - Grace Braim in particular was such great help throughout the whole process. As first-time buyers, there was a lot we didn't know, and Grace was absolutely excellent in explaining each step and what was needed from us at every stage. She was incredibly patient and also super quick with her responses, which was really appreciated when we needed questions answered.
We always felt that Grace was very efficient and would give us regular updates even through quieter periods. This made the process a lot smoother and easier for us, as we felt like we were being supported throughout. At times when our seller's solicitors were being slightly difficult, she managed to sort the problem each time which was fantastic.
Overall, we would absolutely recommend HMD Legal to anyone looking to move house/buying their first house. The whole process from the day we instructed to completion date was made so much easier with their assistance!
Thank you for all your help.
We have used HMD Legal for both selling and buying houses
We used HMD Legal as our conveyancing solicitors for selling our house and purchasing two new properties. The team at HMD Legal is exceptional—everything operates smoothly and efficiently. All queries and checks were handled promptly and thoroughly. I worked closely with Tia Hinds and Hannah Dowling, both of whom were extremely efficient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this firm.
First class solicitors - Brilliant
HMD Legal were acting for me on a purchase of a new property which was slightly complex. My solicitor, Grace Braim was absolutely top class and an absolute credit to the company. The sellers solicitors were difficult from the onset, yet Grace diligently and professionally dealt with them with ease and secured the best outcomes for me during the purchase. Grace thoroughly reviewed all documents, replies, searches in detail and advised accordingly. I can say without hesitation, that Grace went above an beyond.
All aspects of the transaction and status could be viewed on the HMD Legal portal, which was regularly updated. If ever I had a question, I would receive a response from Grace within a matter of hours, if not sooner. Very different from other solicitors.
I would only use HMD legal moving forward for any future purchases and highly recommend them to all.
Thank you!

Seamless and personal service, and quick responses.
I received an exceptional standard of service from the HMD legal team, with particular commendation to Grace and Tia. Their professionalism, dedication, and commitment to going above and beyond ensured a seamless and highly personalised experience throughout. Despite the significant challenges posed by the other party’s solicitors—who were frequently unresponsive and demonstrated a lack of technical knowledge—Grace and Tia worked diligently to protect my position and maintain momentum. Their persistence and expertise were instrumental in ensuring that my target completion date was successfully achieved. Their communication was consistently timely, their attention to detail exemplary, and the overall level of service truly second to none.

We used HMD Legal for both the sale and purchase of our properties and were really impressed. The process was efficient, reliable, and well managed throughout. Communication was clear and timely, which made everything far less stressful. Would happily recommend HMD Legal in Whitby.

I couldn’t fault the service from start to finish. The whole team were professional, responsive and made what can be a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed.
A special mention to Grace, who handled our conveyancing — she was clear, proactive and always quick to explain things in plain English, which made a huge difference. Any queries were dealt with promptly and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
Would highly recommend this firm to anyone buying or selling a property. Excellent service all round.

Outstanding and professional 👏
Our experience was outstanding from beginning to end. Very professional, prompt and efficient. We dealt with Grace and Dagmara and i can't compliment them enough. Our purchase was in a position to complete within a month which was absolutely unbelievable. Many thanks!! We will certainly be using HMD Legal for any future requirements. 👍
Excellent. A wonderful team of professionals
We sold an apartment and bought a bungalow. The sale was difficult because there was a long chain that broke once and later on was seriously held up. Two purchases fell through, but the final one needed to be processed quickly because of the vendor's circumstances.
All this was a lot to handle but Hannah's team of professionals were marvellous. They were thorough, efficient, and effective with excellent communication throughout.
We knew exactly what was going on and were clearly guided through what we needed to do.
The care and empathy that we were shown made a very difficult time bearable.
Hmd dealt extremely well with some "old school" solicitors who seemed to go out of their way to make the process more difficult.
Hmd Legal always seemed prepared to go the extra mile. We've moved home five times in the last forty years. Times have changed and nothing is straightforward. We were always kept informed. We were always confident in the ability of the team to work through everything that they had to deal with.
With all the costs involved in moving, HMD Legal 's charges were extremely reasonable and clearly explained at the start.
We could not have asked for more.
Hannah and her team have been fantastic…
Hannah and her team have been fantastic throughout the whole process. They were professional, responsive and always clear in their communication. As a first-time buyer, I really appreciated how supportive and straightforward they were, especially when things felt pressured or confusing.
I felt well looked after and confident that my best interests were always the priority. Highly recommended.
They were great and friendly!
They were great throughout my entire process, especially Grace towards the end super nice and keeping us updated. Everything was super efficient! Big thankyou to the team:)
