We recently bought and sold property with Hill & Abbott. We had a difficult buyer to contend with but Alison helped to resolve everything very quickly, answered all our questions and explained the process.

I am currently in the process of buying my first property and needed to find someone who I could trust, had a great reputation and provides an excellent conveyancing service. After knowing Laura for just under a year and hearing about how brilliant Hill & Abbott are, I knew I would be in safe hands. Purchasing a property is completely new to me but Laura and her team have been excellent and very helpful in explaining everything to me in laymen terms and answering any questions I have, including late at night over Whatsapp. I’m still in the middle of the process but I can confirm that all of the great things you hear about Laura and Hill & Abbott are true. They are efficient, thorough and do all they can to ensure the house moving process is a smooth and easy process. I highly recommend Laura at Hill & Abbott to anyone moving home and would like to thank her for making what I see a massive milestone in my life enjoyable and easy. More...

Yes 5 Stars ! After initial concerns, I can not adequately describe the surprise at the amount of time effort and understanding of their managing director, Mr Paul Hunt who adapted a pragmatic approach to finding a fair and equitable solution which dealt equally with all siblings in a manner to resolve the dispute. I wish that more U.K solicitors had such approachable and proactive M.D.'s Many thanks and well done.Andrew Preece More...

Fantastic Service throughout. I have used this firm for the purchase of my last two houses and the sale of both mine and my partners homes recently. It was a difficult chain with us selling two houses and buying one with a chain either side but both Alison and Lizziey were fantastic throughout. Replies to emails were almost immediate, and if I called, someone would always be available to offer reassurance and advice when needed. During what was a stressful process for us, they were dedicated, professional and clear throughout - I couldn't recommend them more. More...

We have received an excellent service from Lorna Bastian at Hill & Abbott. She sorted our wills out with ease. There was no hassle, and she was both knowledgeable and personable. We need to go back and sort power of attorney now! More...

Following a personal recommendation for Doug, I have been working closely with him over the last five months. He has a real level-headed approach, and his Australian charm will secure whatever outcome you are looking for, as he did in my case.
Whether I ever have the opportunity to work with Doug again, I don't know. But one thing is for sure, I now have a firm of Solicitors I can fully trust, and whom I'll be a client for many years to come.

I have used Hill & Abbott for a variety of legal needs and can highly recommend them. Recently they looked after my conveyancing needs and made the whole process simple and painless, if only the actual moving part was that easy! . Would highly recommend the conveyancing team they were all very helpful and when I visited the reception was warm and welcoming. If I need a legal service in the future I will continue to use Hill & Abbott Solicitors. More...

Conveyancy service was good. Michael kept me informed at all stages and chased when delays were getting silly. Also used the will service. Efficient and helpful staff. Only downside of their business is the committmentbif the reception desk to greet and help you. More...

Here at SilverLeaf Homes we work with many solicitors as we are in the business of buying, renovating and selling properties in Essex.
It was the first time using Hill & Abbott Solicitors to sell a property of ours in Rayleigh. Very friendly and professional service from the initial meeting to the sale completion of the property.
We look forward to working Hill & Abbott in the near future.
Great Job!

As a barrister I assisted This firm a number of times. I had one or too spectacular successes in a surveyor and solicitor negligence cases and some others too long ago to remember. I did a great deal of work for them for which I was never paid. When I found myself unpaid by one of this firm's clients their attitude was less than admirable; it involved failing to supply documents for years, running deplorable and unarguable defences. They refused to take any responsibility for their actions and only paid up when proceedings were about to be served. I was invited to make a comment. More...

My job allows me to undertake a variety of work on a day to day basis, in particular looking after our client service through ensuring we continue to achieve our Lexcel standard year on year. Lexcel is awarded to firms for their standard of client care and is re-assessed annually. All of our team are committed to this standard and ensure that client service is the overriding message in all that they do. My role allows me to be innovative and look for new ways of delivering our services to our clients which is swifter and often means they can undertake most of the meetings etc from the comfort of their own living room, we do this through the use of Skype and face time etc.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I work for Hill & Abbott Solicitors as they are innovative and forward thinking. Their ethos fits well with me and it is easy to turn u to work every day.
