Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 128 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently mention that the staff are extremely helpful, friendly, and always take the necessary time to explain the entire process clearly without making anyone feel pressured. Many consumers appreciate the remarkably fast response times and find the support team to be exceptionally professional, polite, and reassuring throughout. However, some people also noted frustrating issues with communication delays and felt dissatisfied when dealing with the assigned external solicitors. A small group of reviewers felt that the broker setup ultimately led to a stressful experience due to inadequate handling and poor responsiveness.

Very positive experience - definitely recommend!

We instructed Homeward Legal who then passed us on to a law firm who unfortunately closed their doors. The very same day we were appointed to a new law firm (Hutchins Law) who we have now completed the process with. Our previous house fell through and we are so glad we instructed Homeward Legal with the No completion, No fee protection. Both of our searches and survey rolled over to our now home so we didn’t lose out on any money. I would definitely recommend conveying through Homeward Legal!

Great experience with mark

Mark is a great asset to this company, explained everything in detail & with a personal touch- he put me at ease through the whole process, one of the only companies I could find who deal with remortgage & transfer of equity at the same time. Thanks again Mark

Josh made a difficult process simple to understand

Josh made a process that could be stressful and confusing clear and relatable. I like to think I'm a good judge of character, which is important in legal services. Josh gave me signals that I was in the right hands with your service, making a difficult decision easy and clear.

Mark was really helpful

Mark was really helpful, made the process of getting a quote and updating property info really quick and easy. Especially helpful that they were open Friday before Easter weekend

Prompt, Efficient and Reliable

I spoke with Mark following the purchase of a property at auction. Contract turnaround times for properties purchased at auction are extremely restrictive though I was aware that Homeward Legal offer both 14 day and 28 day legal support to effect property completions within designated timescale. Following preliminary discussions I was provided with a fixed quote including a full breakdown of all charges. I was very grateful for the prompt and efficient service received and would highly recommend Homeward Legal if you are looking to appoint solicitors that specialise in auction purchases' or sales.

If I could give 0 stars

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Do not trust this company.

As someone inexperienced with conveyancing, I naively contacted Homeward Legal thinking they were solicitors. After seeing positive reviews on Trustpilot, I felt reassured - but that quickly changed.
During an initial phone call, I was told I would be passed to a “colleague”, and I paid £180 to get started. I later realised this company is a broker, not a law firm, and I was referred to a solicitor firm based in England... despite being in Swansea.
The firm I was referred to has been extremely poor. Six months into the process, after repeatedly chasing by phone and email, I have just discovered that the property searches had not even been ordered.
The lack of communication throughout has been unacceptable, and the stress and uncertainty this has caused has been significant.
I would strongly advise others to avoid using this service.

Brilliant service

I used their services 9 years ago. All was good. What these services include: the best deal ever with solicitors price wise (almost half price of an independent solicitor - I have checked four) and the cheapest way out in case of no completion. I read some reviews complaining that Homeward do not actually deal with your purchase/sale and refer you to other solicitors. Yes, this is the case so please take your time to read their terms and it’s not even a “small” print. To continue: I absolutely have chosen them again in 2026. I paid the necessary disbursement, they have allocated a solicitor firm to my case which was great too. Unfortunately due to family reasons I had to pull out. The support I have got from Homeward (Joshua Thomas - thank you Joshua) was brilliant, prompt - all you would expect from a good customer service.
To note: depending on the stage of the purchasing/sales process you pull out of, certain searches will not be refundable. But at least you will not pay what the other solicitors will charge you in the same situation. And I repeat: total price is nearly a half price of an independent solicitor on completion. So why would not I give this a 5 star? I absolutely give it.

Needed to get quotes over the weekend…

Needed to get quotes over the weekend and luckily found Mark Mclauchlan at homeward legal who were very helpful and swift with what I considered a very reasonable quote for my house purchase, of they had not been open on the Saturday I would have possibly gone with someone else and it would have added greater cost.
Excellent advice and friendly service

Repeat customer - great client care

Second home move using Homeward Legal - 10 years on - and still a good company to work with. Joshua Thomas is really patient and helpful and makes you feel comfortable with the service from the first phonecall.

Chris has always been easy to contact and very helpful, I did have a problem with the solicitor that was chosen but Chris sorted all out for me. I’m now using Homeward legal for my second time, and will continue to use them.

Dont loose any money if the house falls through.

If you get half way with buying a house and then have to pull out or get outbidded or the seller pull out, then you dont loose any money, it just roles onto the next house.
They are very good!
Also, they were pretty quick on searches and legal work.
Mark, who was my point of contact, was excellent too.
