Newtons Solicitors Reviews 

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.

Shout out to Liz and Emma! Thank you so so much! The best conveyancers and experience buying a house. The communication was literally 100% and both so lovely. Thank you so much! Kat

My co-executor and myself were looking for a lawyer who dealt with Contentious law, as we had a tricky situation regarding my nephew and deceased sister in law.
Our case was handled not only with professionalism and efficiency but also sympathy and concern by Mr Gill.

The case is not yet “wrapped up” but that is more due to the slow wheels of justice than our lawyer!

We worked with Newtons on the combined sale of one house and purchase of another. Emma and Olivia have always been incredibly quick to communicate and take care of anything that has needed actioning, and their correspondence has never been anything less than clear, well laid-out and highly useful. I would not hesitate to use their services for any move in future!

My understanding of literature is limited. Ms Bradwell always went into great detail to explain everything and always offered to read letters and documents to me. She never made me feel inadequate. I would recommend Ms Bradwell and her colleagues at Newtons, who also helped me with my Will and Powers of Attorney. I always felt like they had my best interest at heart.

Just a big thanks to Olivia & Emma at Newtons solicitors Darlington,Selling my first house was a breeze,they kept me up to date throughout
Many thanks Ian H.
