Newtons Solicitors Reviews 

Dan Warwick and Catrina Addison-Smith provided an exceptional service during my recent conveyancing process.

My previous experiences of using solicitors to buy and sell property had not been good. I have spent the past 25 years working as a solicitor and therefore I have very high expectations of what good service should be. Dan and Catrina exceeded those expectations.

From the outset, Dan and Catrina demonstrated a high level of professionalism, diligence, and expertise. Communication was a particular strength and they were responsive, proactive, and always took the time to address my questions in a calm and practical manner. Updates were timely and any issues that arose were identified early and handled efficiently, with clear advice on the implications and next steps.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dan and Catrina.

I was made to feel very comfortable by all the staff, but Stephen Morgan made me feel at ease and I was able to discuss my affairs with him. I was very glad to have these discussions as he highlighted situations I had not thought about. I have been very satisfied with the service I have recieved from them .

Newtons Solicitors in Darlington handled the conveyancing for the sale of my house. Olivia Easley and Emma Wray kept me constantly informed throughout the process and always responded almost instantly to my queries and concerns. Their services were more than just professional, I was treated with warmth, courtesy and understanding, especially when we encountered a few snags along the way. Thank you for your excellent work!

Excellent, professional and efficient conveyancing from Howard and his team, Harry and Kerri. We have been kept up to date with developments throughout the sales process and the team have answered all queries quickly. I would highly recommend Howard, Kerri and Harry. Thank you again for your excellent service.

From first contact when I was phoning a number of solicitors for a quote for conveyancing, I knew Denise at Newtons Solicitors was the one. I got straight though with no "someone will call you back" and got straight to Denise and started talking business. The quote was very reasonable and the service from Denise and her team Peter and Catrina throughout was excellent. I can confidently highly recommend Denise and her team at Newtons.

Howard and the team in Thirsk have done an amazing job conveyancing for us. Not an easy exchange, a lot of stops and starts but not by Newtons who were professional, informative and on the ball. Many Thanks everyone.

This was the first time I have used Newton’s Solicitors and I was completely happy with the service and attention I received. The conveyancing solicitor and her assistant treated me as a valued customer - even though my case was a very minor one - and they communicated with me regularly, answering my queries very promptly. I would have no hesitation in using them again or in recommending their services to others.

what can i say absolutly brilliant been working with ruth from newtons in knaresbough for the past 5 years because of her hard work and dedication the outcome was a great ending thanks again to ruth and her team

We were looking at paying our HTB and got recommend Newtons. They didn't disappoint Olivia delt with our HTB she was brilliant everything you want from a solicitor she provided and more. If you are looking for a solicitor I recommend highly they always answer your questions within the day and Olivia made the process so easy and hassle free will definitely going to use them again. Thank you Olivia

Abbi and Meryn were fantastic from start to finish. Quick responses and great communication through the whole process. In the final days of the transaction they both went above and beyond and the sale would have fallen through without their proactiveness and efficiency.

Will not hesitate to recommend or use for any future legal help.

Thanks guys.

Used Newtons as my solicitor for buying my first home. Very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Absolutely would go back for their services again if required. Shout out to Abbi for all her help

Both Chris and Tina have been amazing throughout our experience with Newtons. They have always been open, honest, and realistic about the possible outcomes, while also being incredibly supportive and understanding throughout the process.

Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and we always felt informed and reassured. Thanks to their hard work and professionalism, we achieved the best possible outcome in our case.

I would highly recommend Newtons to anyone in need of legal support.

Second time using Newton’s. Mainly had dealings and communication with Harry (but also Howard and Kerri). All have been so helpful and professional in our sale and purchase. Response time was exceptional. All matters dealt with promptly and efficiently. Would happily use Newton’s again and would recommend their services.

Newtons Solicitors had previously been very helpful when we discussed Wills, so we were disappointed with our most recent experience.

We got in touch about making a new Will and were asked to provide quite a lot of information in advance, including family tree details, assets, specific items we wanted to include in the Will, and other considerations. This took a fair amount of time to pull together, so we expected the meeting to be focused and informed.

Unfortunately, when we attended the 30-minute appointment, the solicitor was late and appeared unprepared. We had tried calling several times after the meeting start time, and when the meeting did begin, it felt as though they had forgotten about it. The solicitor then asked for information that had already been provided, and I had to point out that it had all been sent in advance.

Given the level of preparation and the advice provided, we decided not to proceed with them for the Will or related advice. This was a shame, as our earlier experience with another solicitor at Newtons had been excellent.

Update – 18 May 2026: Following my review, Bill (Newtons solicitors) responded promptly and acknowledged the concerns raised. He explained that this was not the experience he would want for clients and arranged to get in touch personally. We then had an open and honest conversation about what had happened, which felt genuine and constructive. Bill’s approach helped restore my confidence, and we are going to review our Will with his help. I have updated this review to reflect the positive customer relations shown and the reassurance provided that the matter would be looked at properly. Thanks

As a first-time buyer after renting for 20 years, the whole process felt very daunting at first, but Carolyn, Sophie, and Kelly at Newtons were absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

No question ever felt too silly, and they always made me feel valued and supported throughout the process. Their communication was clear, efficient, and incredibly quick, which made such a stressful process feel much more manageable.

What really stood out was how they went above and beyond to help move things forward, even covering work that hadn’t been completed by the vendor’s solicitor to help speed up the process.

I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. I would definitely use them again in the future if I come to sell my property and would happily recommend them to friends and family.

Thank you again to Carolyn, Sophie, and Kelly for making my first home-buying experience such a positive one.

I recommend Newtons Solicitors and particularly the team of Denise, Catrina and Peter for the conveyancing of my late mothers house.
They handled the buyers overly convoluted financing requirements in a professional manner and expedited the sale.
The team communicated promptly and regularly to keep me informed of progress.
I am very pleased with the way they dealt with the sale and because of this my brother has asked them to represent him in the purchase of his new house.

Newtons prepared the lease on our behalf of a newly constructed commercial building. The negotiations were long and complicated with alterations required to the premises, therefore, a licences for alteration and agreement to lease were also required. Dan Warwick carried out the legal work including some negotiating on lease terms. Dan demonstrated extreme patience and competence during the process, explaining implications of proposed terms. Great Guy to have on side.

Carolyn, Sophie and Kelly have been amazing in helping myself and my wife buy our first home, they helped ease all stress. The communication between them was seamless. I’d highly recommend them and Newtons to any potential first time buyers.

We recently completed the sale of our property using Newtons Solicitors in Thirsk and could not have been happier with the service received throughout.

In particular, Howard and Harry were exceptional from start to finish. Their approach was friendly, approachable and genuinely personal, whilst remaining highly professional at all times. Communication was excellent throughout the transaction and they were always willing to take the time to explain matters clearly and provide reassurance when needed.

Property transactions can often be stressful, however Howard and Harry made the process feel smooth, well managed and far less daunting than it might otherwise have been. Their support, responsiveness and attention to detail were greatly appreciated and we would not hesitate to recommend Newtons Solicitors Thirsk to anyone requiring conveyancing or property legal services.

Many thanks again for all of your help and support.

Excellent service throughout the house conveyancing process. Highly efficient, sound advice, excellent communication, responding quickly to all enquiries and a real personal touch. Legal services including wills provided at a very competitive rate. Would highly recommend Newtons and use again. Special thanks to Liz and Emma.
