Hine Downing Solicitors

Whoh whoh whoh I only gave 5 stars because I'm hoping for a discount!

Called and spoke to the receptionist explaining I had an urgent time dependent issue, and was told someone would call back as soon as available. I didn't get a call-back, not that day, that week, or that month. Terrible service, not worth the one star rating I've given.

AVOIDThe most unprofessional, horrendous service after the sadness of my mother's passing. Communication frequently poor and tardy. A whole bank account was missed. Funds were kept for several months.Worst of all, in nearly 2 years we appallingly learnt they hadn't even - Started - the reconstitution of deeds.The response from 'management' was not only unapologetic - but rude and disrespectful. (Having heard of this person's reputation I am shocked he is even allowed to work in this position).My family and I have not only missed out on the sale of the property last year, but now have to pay phenomenal amounts of council tax for an empty property until our new solicitors reconstitute the deeds as Hine Downings were paid a fortune to do.

The have a hot solicitor doing the conveyancing.

If I could give these solicitors less than one star I would. Honestly the worst service I could ever imagine. After 'looking after' my dads estate for 12 years until I reached the age in which I could access the trust, it still took a futher year to get ANYWHERE. You would think that when being charged 3k a year you would at least get yearly updates of interest etc but we didn't hear a thing unless we contacted them for something. It gets a bit upsetting when every email sent to Mr Deacon to try and release funds desperately needed an automated email is sent back saying he's on hoilday. We worked with 2 other companies whilst selling the house and they were 10000 times better. I wish I had never had to have any interaction with this company at all.

AVOID! Completely useless. Hine downing were in charge of my fathers estate. Not only has a simple request( please release the money to me) taken 14 months and counting but we are no closer, there are no updates, no one is contactable and even if by some miracle you get through to someone they are rude and unhelpful. Can never get hold of Mr Deacon and even when an occasional email comes through every 3 or 4 months it’s completely useless. Cannot explain how much I wish my dad hadn’t had used this form before passing!

Used these guys for writing and updating our staff contract, with specific requests that needed to be added.I would describe them as friendly, professional and responsive.No problem recommending.

If you are looking for a solicitor with integrity, understanding and patience who are easily contactable, you could not do better than Hine Downing. Good to know they are there to support us with their knowledge and expert advice.

Their Notary never of the public was absent that day and since it was urgent they happily recommend 5 in the area which saved me a lot of hastle.
