Lucia supported me with a complicated remortgage issue involving a historical mistake involving HMLR. Lucia was ever present, kind and professional. I would recommend New Homes Law.
I really impressed about the online portal servise. You can see the all the process online.
They are so quick on responding to email.
Grace & Jack went above and beyond especially at the final hour!!
Would highly recommend this company

I would not recommend New Homes Law to anyone under any circumstances
We were initially appointed a Conveyancing Executive who, partway through the process, appeared to completely disappear from our case. Communication stopped and we were never given a clear explanation as to what had happened. From that point onwards, we seemed to be passed between multiple different members of the office.
This resulted in an incredibly frustrating experience. It often felt as though nobody had a proper understanding of our case. We were given incorrect or conflicting information and repeatedly had to explain matters or chase progress ourselves.
Communication became one of the biggest issues. Emails and promised callbacks regularly went unanswered despite repeated chasing. On one particularly frustrating occasion, after trying to contact the office more than 15 times throughout the same day from our usual number without getting an answer, we called again with our caller ID withheld — and the call was answered. Make of that what you will, but it certainly summed up our experience with communication.
Importantly, we did not immediately take this outside the firm. We raised our concerns with New Homes Law several times and gave them multiple opportunities to resolve the issues. We eventually made a formal complaint, but remained dissatisfied with the response and handling of our concerns.
As a result, we escalated our complaint to the Legal Ombudsman. The Legal Ombudsman ultimately found in our favour, and compensation was awarded and received.
Buying your first home should be an exciting milestone. Instead, a significant amount of our time was spent chasing our solicitors, trying to establish who was actually dealing with our case and questioning whether the information we were being given was correct.
Having ultimately needed an independent Ombudsman to become involved, with the matter resulting in a decision in our favour and compensation, I feel it's important to share our experience so that other prospective clients can make an informed decision.
Unfortunately, based on our experience, I could not recommend New Homes Law and would not use them again.
I am very pleased that I went with New Homes Law to help with the purchase of my first home with my partner. We were very happy with the value of the quote and the services they provided. It was a hassle free process for us, with the exchange and completion handled amazingly by Grace and Jack.

Once again this company have really helped me from a difficult situation. I was searching for a particular document in order to sell my property but it was not immediately available but luckily Alix Robinson was able to locate it and Lucia Garcia was operating in her absence today and sent it to me as my buyers' solicitors were waiting for it and my sale was depend upon it. The service from these two ladies is exceptional and I highly rate this company. Thank you

Very happy with New Homes Law, Grace and Jack are amazing. Everything was always explained to us since the beginning, and the communication via email helped a lot. We had some issues with the seller at some point, but when the problem was sorted and we needed the case to move, Grace and Jack were always quick on their side. I’m very pleased with our choice and totally recommend New homes law.

We had a very positive experience with New Homes Law during the purchase of our new built house. They were professional, helpful, and kept us informed throughout the whole process specially Grace Couldbeck who handled our case.
Whenever we had questions or needed clarification, they responded clearly and guided us through each stage of the purchase.
We really appreciate all the support and assistance we received and would happily recommend their service to anyone buying a property.

I just bought my new home and personally I am pretty pleased with their services. They have a good onboarding team that helps throughout the process. Kerry and Reuben who were managing my case made the process smooth with no issues.

NHL are an effective and efficient legal practise. I use them in a business capacity, recommending them to all to my clients and working together with them to bring the transactions to a fast and speedy conclusion. They are easy to communicate with and very pro-active. I enjoy working with them

Isaac and his team have been incredibly efficient and supportive during a particularly complicated process. We explained our situation to them and they made sure they were prioritising us and reassuring us at every turn. Our process is slowly coming to an end and we are incredibly grateful for the team for all of their hard work. Thank you all 😊

At certain points, communication was a little slow, and there were times when we didn’t hear anything for a couple of days. However, whenever we contacted the team for an update, they were very responsive and helpful.
Overall, we were really pleased with the service. Given the circumstances we were dealing with at the start, the team were particularly supportive, understanding and reassuring throughout. We really appreciated their help and guidance and would definitely recommend their services.

Quite straightforward with communication mainly through e-mail. We completed purchase of the property in 3 months from the day we started the process and there was a chance for quicker turnaround if not sellers solicitors causing delays. I'd only say if you go ahead with them be mindful of extra fees they're trying to charge you for and check the invoice twice! Overall we had a good experience.
