House Sale

We have recently sold our property using Hek Jones and have had a very positive experience. This is our second time using Hek Jones. Natalie and Rhian communicated well with us throughout, always on the other end of the phone if we needed anything and very prompt in sending things through to us. They made the house sale a smooth process and fees were very reasonable. Would definitely recommend!

Not recommended

Very surprised with reading positive reviews, following our experience. Worth being aware of:

- You do not have a solicitor day-to-day on your account, but a paralegal/trainee
- They have a 3 day response SLA
- Their basic fee only covers 4 hours work
- They are not proactive and will not phone to chase unless you specifically ask
- They will not (this might be general solicitor thing) provide you with timelines or status of where you are in the transaction to help manage expectations

On the positive side, when you do speak to the team on the phone they're very friendly and act upon requests.

We would not use them again, so just be fully aware before appointing Hek Jones.

Conveyancing on house sale

We engaged Hek Jones to do our conveyancing as a result of using Yopa estate agents. Having always used a local solicitor, a fixed fee remote service was a new experience. We were so glad to have employed them. Their service was great. Always contactable, and efficient in returning emails and calls. Wherever the problem with the sale chain was - it was never with us! Hek Jones were on top of everything, and had everything planned and ready to go when required. Will definitely return next time we need any legal services they provide. Very good value for money.

Excellent service that I couldn’t fault in any way

Recently supported me with a house sale. I found Hek Jones Solicitors extremely helpful and felt fully informed and supported by them through the process. I dealt mainly with Elsie Evans who was both knowledgeable and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for anything in the future. Thank you.

Highly recommend Julia Hurren

I’d highly recommend Julia Hurren and her team. From the first enquiry to completion they were incredible to work with, making a long and tricky process much easier for us. They explained things clearly, always responded quickly to emails or calls, and worked flexibly and with good humour. I’d certainly work with them again.

Very highly recommended

This was my first ever sale and my solicitor (Julia Hurren) and both her assistants (Cath Barnes and Tracey Lea) were all incredibly proactive, helpful and kind when I was confused and had to ask very panicked questions! Highly recommended.

I had Matthew Francis and Holly Bowen help me for both my sale and my purchase. They completed my cash purchase in a matter of weeks and bent over backwards to meet my demanding timescale. Matthew was always easy to contact and went above and beyond to help me and answer any queries I had. Honestly the nicest solicitor I have dealt with. I would definitely use in the future and would definitely recommend Matthew and Holly. Thank you!

Poor communication, slow progress, terrible service

Upon the recommendation of someone I went ahead with appointing Hek Jones for my first property purchase. I was assigned Heidi's team. From the start the process has been frustrating. Progress is painfully slow, often only happening when you chase and chase numerous times. Communication is non-existent with emails not being responded to. It is rare to get an email response from the team: often 3-4 required to be sent before anyone actually responds back to you. Over the phone you're passed between team members to be told it is being addressed yet nothing happens for weeks!

I'm at the end of my journey with Hek Jones but have a last few items to be tied up and it seems that now that payment has all been made there is no incentive for them to be pro-active and actually resolve matters in a timely fashion.

I will not be recommending Hek Jones to anyone, as the service I have received has been exceptionally poor. Such a disappointment given some of the glowing reviews of the service given here.
