Capital gains tax billing information
Humphreys &Co acted as our solicitors 22 years ago when we purchased a property. We have just sold the property and needed information about their fees to calculate how much capital gains tax we had to pay. Despite the many years that have passed, they were able to give us all the information we needed within a few hours of our request. Excellent service!
Highly recommend it!
Natasha was super efficient and demonstrated excellent communication skills throughout the process. Thank you!

Spoke to Andrew on the phone who represented the company. He was very rude and ended the call abruptly.
Professional and experienced team
Delighted with the professionalism and proactivity of the team during my shared ownership staircasing journey. Certainly recommend to family and friends
Prompt with helping with repairs
Natasha was great!
We had Natasha supporting with the sale of our shared ownership flat in London. She was communicative and very knowledgeable, even to the point of helping the buyer's solicitors with their understanding of the sale requirements. We could not recommend her enough. Thank you Natasha for getting us over the line!
Highly Recommended!
Natasha has been a star. Very quick to respond to my emails, swift at dealing with all lines of enquiries, and very polite and professional throughout. I would highly recommend Humphreys & Co, especially at their competitive prices. Thank you so much for helping me get my home!
Outstanding
This is the second time I've instructed Natasha at Humphreys & Co, first for a lease renewal and second to sell my share of a property, and both times she's been outstanding. I've always been kept up to date at each stage, any questions have been answered quickly, and the cost is reasonable. I'd definitely recommend them to others.

Consider seriously before using.
This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. Inflexible, patronising and incredibly frustrating. I am now using a different solicitors; which, is such a better experience. I would seriously consider using this solicitor as there are better ones out there.

Do not use this law firm
Do not use this law firm. I engaged them (Natasha Hearn) as my conveyancing solicitor as a first time buyer. I was buying an ex-council property and explicitly asked Natasha in the enquiries process whether any Section 20 Major Works bills were planned. In my report on title issued by Natasha the only major works identified were for £1277.41 and an undertaking was provided by the seller to pay for this. I proceeded with the purchase of the flat and 5 weeks after completion I received a section 20 Major Works bill from the Council for an estimated amount of £20,399.88. Notice of this bill was given 6 months previously and so should have been identified if enquiries were properly performed by Natasha. I complained to Humphreys as Natasha had failed to notify me of this ie. had been professionally negligent (this is in addition to another error made by Natasha, which she admitted was “an oversight on our part and can only apologise for the same”). Humphreys failed to respond to my complaint in the matter; giving me avoidant responses, constantly delaying, and even outright ignoring a Part 36 offer made by my new solicitor in a professional negligence claim that I had to pursue since being put off and ignored by Robert Humphreys. My experience with this firm and most specifically Robert Humphreys has destroyed my experience as a first time buyer. I have been so stressed by this bill and the way I have been treated by Robert Humphreys that I have been unable to enjoy my flat and my mental health has been seriously impacted. I have all of the documental proof to back up this review, which I would be entirely willing to share. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Affordable and positive in an expensive and convoluted process
I’ve now dealt with Humphreys & Co. over some years, through 2 property purchases and 1 sale - the latter process being incredibly stressful. Despite the processes being typically over-complicated British house moves, Humphreys & Co. remained reliable and proactive. Najwa had to pick up our case half way through and quickly adapted to my preferred communication and update style, providing constant updates, reassurance and advice. She had good understanding and was able to explain everything in a way we could make informed decisions. We appreciate her (and Natasha’s) time and will continue to use for future moves.

Natasha Hearn friendly and professional
Natasha Hearn dealt with purchase of leasehold property and was both professional and friendly and we very much appreciated her assistance.

Amazing service from Natasha
We used Natasha Hearn to extend our lease on our shared ownership property and then to sell that property and buy our new house.
It was a stressful sale with many ups and downs and Natasha kept me sane throughout it all. Amazing communication at all times, explained anything we didn’t understand (which was a lot!) and really drove the sale forwards whilst dealing with not very helpful housing association and buyers solicitors.
She was so through and helpful during a really tough time when we were trying to relocate and had a new born baby.
I can’t thank her and recommend her enough, my go to solicitor now!

Highly recommend!
I had a really great experience buying shared ownership with Natasha - she was always very professional and efficient in dealing with the entire process. Humphrey’s is good at communicating with clients, setting clear timelines etc which is really important in reducing stress in house buying process. Would highly recommend.

This firm is so bad I had to switch conveyancers before the process had even started in earnest. While other law firms let you onboard through online processes, these guys still do everything over email. And require you to send hard copies and get notarised at the post office for their due diligence. I used them back in 2017 and had a good experience. But for my recent sale and purchase, they were awful.

I was referred by a neighbour when the previous solicitor I used took a very long time to provide me with a quote. My expectations were exceeded, Natasha Hearn kept me informed at all times and I found her to be very thorough with her work.
She was always there to answer my questions (and very promptly). I must say the service I received will be hard to beat.
I will not hesitate to deal with Natasha again. Thank you again.

This solicitor firm should be…
This solicitor firm should be disbarred. During my attempt to purchase a shared ownership property, I encountered numerous issues with these solicitors. As a result, I had to terminate their services after 8 months and seek assistance from another solicitor, as my property was at risk of being lost. Communication with them was virtually nonexistent; they failed to respond to emails and displayed a complete lack of concern for customer care. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to Robert Humphrey's and even posted a negative review on their Facebook page, they demanded that I remove the post, claiming it was defamatory. However, my statements were factual, and it seemed they were simply using their legal status to intimidate me. I have never encountered such unprofessionalism and incompetence before. I strongly advise against utilising this company's services under any circumstances.

Cherry Picking Clients, Be Cautious
Contacted Philip, solicitor for a case last month after seeing good reviews of the company. He is based in wills and probate. I was attending seminars and missed a few calls, he was angry because I had missed calls. His initial voice mail was inaudiable because it appears he barely opened his mouth to leave the voicemail when he spoke, so it was near impossible to hear the number to call back. When I called his office and returned his call to discuss the matter at hand, I was informed he was unavailable from the office. He called with an unknown number and works from home.
What struck me is the fact he was more concerned about my surname than the actual case. Took the time to write an email to clarify the spelling of my surname, demonstrated in an email he sent me. I am not sure what this had to do with my case? He composed and sent me a questionnaire that was patronising. Whilst appearing to establish further details, his intention was to pry into my entire family's status in the country. Completely absurd, as my family have been residents across 3 different generations in the UK. Again what does that have to do with the case? All of a sudden we went from wills and probate to immigration. Our probate situation is in England And Wales, involving grandmother's death. The act was extremely insensitive, unprofessional based upon the circumstances. What happened is a mockery of wills and probate legal services, at best is a sensitive area of law. Some of us involved have already suffered psychologically. So what would possess a legal professional to behave in this manner? He is cherry picking clients based upon ethnicity. Please avoid at all costs.

Great at first but quickly became a nightmare
It has been a year since I completed on my shared ownership property with Humphrey’s. I have waited some time to write the review so that we can all know that it is of sound-mind and not an angry rant. Initially, my experience was in-line with all the positive reviews on this page but it quickly turned sour and Humphrey's quickly became a major issue for myself and my sellers.
The flat that I was trying to purchase had some caveats that put off a number of lenders, my broker was effectively 3rd time lucky in finding one. We all know how long dealing with one lender can be, let alone 3 lenders at the beginning of the interest rate rises. My solicitor (who is named often on this page, but I think it is unfair to name and shame) was very proactive to begin with but once month 6 of the whole fiasco came, they very quickly began to not care.
The issue was absences were not communicated, nor was the case passed on to another colleague. I emailed and emailed only to be ignored, then finally I received an annoyed message telling me that they were OOO and reply when they’re back. An automated OOO response would have sufficed. From this point I would often not receive replies from my solicitor, I only received an email when they felt they should message me. It felt like the client should only “speak when spoken to”. Eventually, I was annoyed enough to send an email to their general inbox asking for updates, this was responded to directly by the MD themselves, who was aggressive and stand off-ish. I don’t think any client should ever feel like they’re trying to be intimidated.
It often felt like my solicitor was prioritising their own professional standing rather than serving the client. I discovered this when my solicitor friend assured me that I could ask them to move on from small points. When I tried to do this because I felt the completion was being held up, I was ignored. Only for a week later my solicitor to say that “you don’t ask, you don’t get” when a particular bit of information arrived. It’s worth noting that my solicitor friend said that this behaviour was unusual and not client-serving. My sellers said that no other resident in the building had these points raised an obsessed over, now that I’ve been there for a year and have spoken to my neighbours, I can confirm that that is the case.
It’s worth mentioning that at this point my girlfriend and I were stressed out and in temporary accommodation, all signs said that we were weeks, if not days from completion. Due to slow lenders caused by the interest rate rises caused by the war in Ukraine, all delays were amplified. Being ignored by my solicitor when I asked them to drop the point cost me another 2 weeks before completion. What should have been July completion became a late September completion. My sellers even took the risk and completed on their next home, paying for two properties over July - September as they knew we were just being held up on a few tiny points.
I ended up contacting my sellers solicitors (Setfords) for advice, they were incredibly understanding, supportive and allowed me to speak directly on the phone (something Humphrey’s do not allow). They agreed that I wasn’t being listened to and that my solicitor seemed to be doing their own thing, but advised that I was so close, changing solicitors would not help.
I hope my review is thorough enough to help you make your decision as to whether you go with Humphrey’s. I would say the risk of following in my path is not worth it. PS - I’ve seen people claiming that negative reviews are often suspiciously deleted on this page…. If that is the case. I will post again. Thanks!
- ADDITIONAL NOTE AFTER HUMPHREYS RESPONSE -
Baffling how these like to argue with reviews...
Secondly, how vile is it for your solicitor to quote private correspondence ON A PUBLIC FORUM.
I was polite and said thanks even though you guys were the bane of my life. I think you'll find I did complain when I was sending emails to the whole company asking where the hell my responses were and having to deal with your bully of an MD. They say they offered to drop the point, but that was after emails and emails of me asking, by which point they got the response they wanted. I won't sit here an argue because it's beyond petty and is like dealing with a child who won't be told off. I just encourage you all to not bother with this company.

We had a really tricky shared ownership purchase, and Olivia, Yasmine and Tom helped us out immensely. They were relentless in chasing and communicating with us when we needed to input.
We now are living in our dream home and couldn’t thank them any more!
