Completely flawless service from Josh Vers' team at Howells Solicitors. I have recommended them to others at every opportunity! We have had a complicated sale of our flat with all sorts of problems coming up - fire safety regulations, multiple Section 20s, time-wasting buyers, sick buyers, you name it.. The only silver lining throughout it all was knowing that Josh's team were on the case. During the prolonged 2-year ordeal, we have not needed to chase up anything at all on our end - I have never encountered such an efficient legal team. They are so well-organised, professional and responsive. They really have gone above and beyond. We also used them for our house purchase, and would choose them every time again in the future. Friends have also used Josh Vers' team following our recommendations and have had an equally perfect experience.

We recently used Howells for the sale of our house and purchase of our new home. To say the transaction became complicated would be an understatement!
We had issues higher up the chain, changing completion dates, school application pressures and a lot of uncertainty at times. Throughout the process Eleanor was always on hand to provide updates, chase solicitors and keep things moving.
What stood out was how approachable and supportive she was. We always felt informed and knew she was doing everything she could behind the scenes, even when delays were outside anyone's control.
I'm sure we weren't always the easiest clients given how keen we were to get moved, but Eleanor was always patient, professional and helpful.
We're now moved in and loving our new home, so a huge thank you to Eleanor and everyone at Howells for helping us get over the line.
Highly recommended.

Super simple process. Josh Vers and his team communicated clearly, acted swiftly and dug into the detail when required. Plenty of flexibility, I managed to get half of things done whilst out of the country with work. Low drag and low stress, some signs of a really competent organisation.

Great experience from start to finish. Joanna and Andy were proactive throughout our sale, keeping us informed at every point. They were always friendly, approachable, and reassuring during what can often be a stressful process.
We would highly recommend them and would happily use their services again in the future.

Howells did the conveyancing for my house sale. I chose them after previously using them to purchase the house and again I found them to be helpful and professional throughout. I dealt primarily with Harriet (and occasionally Eleanor) and they ensured everything was explained to me and that the process went smoothly. Would happily use Howells for conveyancing again.

Joanna and the team were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. From start to finish, I felt confident that I was being looked after by experienced professionals. They kept me informed, answered my questions promptly, and worked hard to get everything over the line despite the challenges along the way.
A special thank you to Joanna and Andy for all their support. I really appreciate everything the team did and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

My daughter recently completed her first house purchase and Leah’s team guided her through the process step by step. Despite clients changing goal posts and estate agents not particularly “sales progressing” effectively, we cannot fault Howells Bridgend and thoroughly recommend them as a team. All excellent professionals.

I recently sold my house and bought a new one, using Howells on my estate agent's recommendation. Beth handled both our sale and purchase.
Our original purchase fell through after all the reports had been completed, and we had to find a new property and move at twice the pace to stop the chain collapsing. Beth did brilliant work to make that happen — without her support in pivoting to the new property, the chain would have fallen apart.
Beth was amazing throughout our house purchase. She replied quickly via email or calls, kept us well informed, and explained every stage of the process in a way that was easy to understand — professional from start to finish.
Where she really stood out was in the final weeks. The buyers' solicitors were, in my opinion, extremely difficult to deal with — combative in tone, unwilling to negotiate, and even threatening to pull out of the sale two weeks before completion to get their own way.
Situations that genuinely riled me up, but Beth remained composed throughout and was a genuinely calming influence. Time and again, a single conversation with her would completely change how I felt about the situation, specifically in the last few weeks of the process before signing of contracts Beth's guidance was what helped it across the line.
I couldn't recommend Beth more highly, you are amazing!! Truly, thank you!

Friendly, explained all the stages in my purchase. I never stressed once. Jane and Sophie and the team are amazing. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is purchasing a home.

I used Howells for the purchase of my property. Rachael Watkins has been my main point of contact throughout, I couldn’t have asked for a better person on the case. She has been so on top of my sale and chasing the related sales, nothing is ever too big of an ask. She has always provided quick responses and has made my whole process of buying smooth and stress free. Highly recommend if you want someone knowledgeable that gets the job done!

I honestly can’t recommend Rachel at Howells highly enough. From start to finish she has been absolutely amazing.
She brought such a human touch to what was, at times, a stressful and emotional process. She kept me updated throughout, always communicated clearly, and replied to every question I had quickly and without hesitation. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
What really stood out was that Rachel understood there was a real person behind the paperwork. She appreciated the urgency of my situation and genuinely cared about getting things progressed as smoothly as possible. It’s so refreshing to deal with someone who is approachable, compassionate, and proactive rather than just hiding behind emails.
Thank you, Rachel, for all your hard work, support, and professionalism. You have made a difficult process so much easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and Howells to anyone looking for an outstanding solicitor.

We had an outstanding experience with Howells an couldn't be more grateful for the support we received throughout our sale/purchase.
A special thank you goes to Allison, Hannah and Leah who were exceptional from start to finish. Their professionalism, dedication and communication made such a difference during what was a very stressful and often overwhelming process.
They were responsive, supportive and incredibly reassuring, keeping us informed every step of the way and helping everything progress as smoothly as possible. Their hard work behind the scenes did not go unnoticed and we truly felt we were in safe hands.
We are so thankful for all their efforts in getting everything over the line and would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional team.

Were recommended by Pinkmove as conveyancers for our property sale. All our communications have been with Chloe and Charlotte, they were both very responsive and completed our transaction within an Extremely short period. We are fully happy with our business with them and recommend them.
