Great experience using Newtons

We completed on our house purchase a couple of weeks ago with the help of Dan and Peter at Newtons. Both guys were great to work with, they communicated really well with us returning emails quickly or calling us with updates. Really grateful for their help getting us our lovely home.

Recommend Bill Neville, Newtons Solicitors

I recently googled Penrith solicitors to set up a Power of Attorney for a relative. I chose Bill because I got the sense of someone calm and considerate as well as knowledgeable. This proved to be the case and so I would highly recommend. He made the process manageable and even carried out a home visit. Thankyou

This was the second time we have used…

This was the second time we have used Howard and his team, Kerri & Harry from Newtons at Thirsk . We have so much time and respect for Howard, we actually spoke to him before we submitted our offer to confirm he would act on our behalf, because if he couldn’t accommodate us we would have withdrawn our interest and not submitted a offer, baring in mind we are actually 100 miles apart and could have chosen hundreds of solicitors closer to us, however, after previous dealings with Howard and Newtons there was only one solicitors for us.
This property was going to be a very complex and difficult to complete purchase on and we knew Howard would carry out the conveyance without causing us any stress and keep us informed every step of the way, as we expected, right from the first contact we had, all the way to the day we picked our keys up, our experience of the team was honestly exceptional, nothing was a problem, all our questions and concerns were answered immediately and clearly that I understood with a lovely friendly, caring attitude.
Never would I ever purchase a house again without going through Howard and Newtons, having several experiences with different solicitors over the years, by far this was the best experience by far. This is how solicitors should be, the personal interaction and communication takes one big part of the stress of buying a house away..
Finally the best part, the invoice, so right at the start I was given a quote for the work from Newtons, baring in mind this house was 200 years old, grade two listed, spring water, you name it, the problems were everywhere, but no stone was left unturned, so many letters and e mails went backwards and forwards and by true Howard and Newtons standards, the bill was what we had been quoted. I can’t say I expected anything else, like I said before, this is how it should be.

Well big thank you to the whole Newtons at Thirsk team, and should anybody read this and decide to get in touch with Howard, then should you be lucky enough to have Howard acting on your behalf, I guarantee you that you will also be another very happy client..you won’t be disappointed and that’s a fact.

Remortgage

We used the Knaresborough branch of Newtons. Meryn and Abbi were fantastic particularly when issues arose. They were knowledgable, professional, fast to act and extremely supportive. We have used this branch before, hence why we came back a second time. If the need arises we will use them again and would highly recommend them.
Once again, thank you Meryn and Abbi.

Professional Support & Advice

I had an excellent experience working with Isobel Willoughby at Newtons Solicitor on an employment rights matter. From the very beginning, she provided professional and knowledgeable advice, and was genuinely committed to protecting my rights. She took the time to listen carefully to my situation, clearly explained my options, and guided me through every step of the process with patience and clarity.
Her expertise in employment law gave me confidence, and her practical advice helped me make informed decisions during a very stressful time. Communication was always prompt, and I felt fully supported throughout the entire experience.
I’m incredibly grateful for her help, we achieved the best outcome, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Isobel at Newton to anyone dealing with workplace issues or seeking strong, reliable legal representation.

I can recommend Newtons for your house sale

We used Newtons for the sale of my mothers house.
As we haven't used a solicitor for 30 years we had to find a local company to handle the sale.
I phoned 4 different companies and 3 of them took a message and nobody even phoned me back.
Newtons got back to me straight away so we went with them. I just wanted someone to manage the sale in a professional way and if they can't even return a call it's not a good sign.
I spoke to Denise and was straight away impressed with her no nonsense aproach.
We asked her to handle the sale and it went very smoothly. I never once had to chase Denise to find out what was happening and she was very proactive
She was ably assisted by Peter who handled the documentation. You will find that access to a scanner helps to email documents
If you are looking for a solicitor who will look after your house sale I can recommend Newtons to you

Hi Kev the Rev
Thank you.
I appreciated reading your review. I do bang onto the whole business about jumping on new enquiries promptly and you've proved my case. I'm exactly the same when I'm looking for services.
Anyway we look forward to working with you again sometime in the next 30 years.

Excellent service

Newtons acted for us on a house sale and we recommend them without hesitation. It was not the most straight forward of conveyances but they acted at all times with professionalism, patience and good humour. Their experience was evident. Particular thanks are due to Howard Meynell and Kate Watson.

Efficiency at its Best

If you need professionalism, look no further. I have been very fortunate to deal with Jacqui Foley and Michael Prudhoe twice for conveyancing and have been extremely impressed. They make a superb team and I literally cannot fault them. Michael even came into work early requiring a legally binding phone call because I was in a different time zone. Every email or query is responded to quickly and I have felt nothing but relief at having two such competent individuals dealing with my affairs.

High quality good value service

Mr Howard Cohen clearly explains options and then patiently awaits client decisions before proceeding promptly and efficiently. I consider Newtons to provide a high quality and good value service.

Excellent service

We recently purchased a bungalow, with the helpful services of Meryn Astwood and Abbi Brown from the Knaresborough branch of Newtons. Throughout, they were always ahead of the game and were able to quickly establish the true facts when the seller’s solicitor incorrectly suggested a hold-up on our side of the proceedings. And although the exchange was cancelled on more than one occasion, again due to issues on the seller’s side, we were kept fully informed of the situation. Well done!
