Exceptional Service from Start to Finish

I first used Newtons Solicitors when they handled the sale of my property, and I was so impressed by their friendliness, professionalism, and efficiency from start to finish that I didn’t hesitate to use them again for the purchase of another property. On both occasions, they made what can often be a stressful process feel much more manageable, always keeping me informed and dealing with everything in such a prompt and reassuring way. Their approachable manner and genuine willingness to help really stood out, and it gave me complete confidence that I was in safe hands throughout. I cannot recommend Newtons Solicitors highly enough and would gladly use them again in the future. Thank you, Monika. x

Highly Recommend

I used this firm both for probate and the subsequent property sale and was very pleased with the overall service.

Stephen Morgan handled the probate application and was excellent — efficient, prompt and well organised throughout, which made the process straightforward at what can be a difficult time.

The conveyancing team, led by Howard and supported by Harry and Kerri, communicated well and kept matters progressing despite the sale becoming unexpectedly drawn out due to issues on the buyer’s side, which were entirely outside their control.

Overall, a professional and reliable service, and I would happily recommend the firm.

Newtons Conveyancing

Newtons have provided an excellent service for us with respect to the purchase and sale transactions for our recent move. Always friendly, communicative and ready with good advice. So efficient (thanks, Emma), we couldn't have had better.

The only solicitors I would want to use in the future. I've used them for two house moves now, and others pale in comparison - they are smart, anticipatory, knowledgeable, without drama. I've never had to push or demand anything from them as it's already been done... Emma Harman and Liz Balmforth have been exceptional.

Highly professional

Alison (Thirsk office) provided a highly professional service. Each aspect of the wills process was explained clearly and precisely, and in a warm manner. Had our best interests at heart throughout.

Faultless conveyancing!

Faultless conveyancing!
We dealt with Jess Barrett at Newtons in York for our very troublesome purchase of our new home. We live in Richmond but was fortunate enough to have Jess undertake our home purchase via their Richmond office. If it hadn’t have been for the absolute careful, persistent hard work and effort put into pushing this through we would have lost our purchase. Also problems that hadn’t been highlighted by the sellers were picked up straight away by Jess, problems which would in the future have caused a lot of heartache. We cannot recommend Newtons highly enough and for anyone to have Jess deal with your sale or purchase, a solicitor who absolutely goes the extra mile.

Excellent for conveyancing

Emma and Olivia supported us with the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one. They were both excellent at keeping us in the loop with progress and any issues arising, and I found them both compassionate and reassuring regarding some uncertainty around completion dates. We wouldn't hesitate to instruct Newtons for future conveyancing. Thanks a lot.

Trustworthy, professional and friendly.

I used Newton's Solicitors to purchase my house recently. Emma and Olivia were professional, communicated with me regularly via helpful and friendly emails, and completed tasks in a timely fashion. I spoke to Olivia on the phone as I neared completion and she was friendly and reassuring. I have used Newton's previously for various reasons and will continue to use them as I trust them.

Very good service

This is the 3rd property I either sell or buy and Newtons Solicitors in Thirsk have been taking care of all the process excellently once again. I wish to thank sincerely Harry, Mr Meynell and Kerri, who kept me informed at every step of the process. I definitely recommend their conveyance services and any other legal requirement one may have.

I would highly recommend Newtons Solicitors in Thirsk.
I was given a superb service from start to finish from Alison receiving a professional and efficient service. She was really helpful in helping me to consider everything that I needed to update my will, making it so much easier to make decisions.
All calls and emails were returned promptly, I never had to ring or email twice and I found the staff there to be friendly, professional and helpful.
Thank you for your service given

I can't speak highly enough of the team at Newton's in Penrith. They stepped in to help us with our sale and purchase after our original solicitors went out of business overnight. They guided us through a difficult period and brought our sale and purchase to completion with speed and professionalism.
Overall they provided a fantastic service and would thoroughly recommend for all conveyancing matters.
Thank-you to Denise, Catrina and Peter.

Excellent service from Newtons…

Excellent service from Newtons solicitors at Thirsk with our recent house move. We have used Newtons at Thirsk in the past and are always very impressed. We will continue using Newtons in the future for all our requirements and highly recommend them. From start to finish we were kept up to date with the progression of the process, never once having to contact them to ask how things were going. As usual we were looked after by Howard, who is always a joy to be in contact with. Along side Howard on this occasion we were also assisted by Harry and Kerri, who again could not be more helpful in the whole process, and so efficient, nothing was too much trouble. We are always very comforted knowing that we were in good hands, and we will be very well looked after.
Thank you so much Howard, Harry and Kerri for all you have done for us it is very much appreciated. All the very best to you.

Kind Regards,
Peter and Tracey Harper

Excellent employment law advice from James Cooper

I needed employment advice quickly having unexpectedly been faced with a “job at risk” meeting with my employer.
With the excellent advice and actions of James Cooper, we turned that around with a grievance complaint which ultimately led to a Settlement agreement.
At all times, James was there for me, answering questions and offering sound advice. I would highly recommend to anyone facing a similar problem.

Newtons are fantastic and we really can’t fault their service. Meryn and Abbi were brilliant and couldn’t be more helpful. Our first house purchase was a little tricky and unfortunately fell through, but they were fantastic and kept us in the loop throughout. We used Meryn & Abbi for our next purchase and again they were brilliant. Would highly recommended to anyone. Thank you Meryn & Abbi, everything was meant to be after all and we’re loving our new home!

Absolutely amazing service from Emma Wray throughout the sale and purchase process. This is the third time I have used Emma Wray in recent years, which is an indication of how much I value her superb knowledge, expertise and effectiveness. Communication was spectacular whether written, verbal or electronic, absolutely everything was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I was regularly updated, Emma’s guidance and diligence was faultless throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend Emma to anyone selling or buying a house.

Rescued our purchase after solicitor collapse

We had a very positive experience with Newtons Solicitors in Penrith during our recent house purchase.

We were originally with Butterworths Solicitors, who closed overnight just as we were about to exchange and complete, which made things unexpectedly complicated. A few other firms suggested we might have to start the whole process again, but Newtons were willing to step in at very short notice, review the file, and pick things up from where they had been left.

Denise, Peter and Catrina were all very responsive and kept everything moving while coordinating with the rest of the chain. Communication was clear throughout, and they worked quickly to deal with the outstanding issues.

Despite the situation they inherited, they managed to take over the matter and get us to completion in just over three weeks, 24 days in total, which we really appreciated.

Given the circumstances, we were very impressed with how efficiently everything was handled and would happily recommend Newtons Solicitors.
