Hear what our clients say about us

I have accumulated great confidence in HCR over the decades I’ve used them for my businesses, and now they have lived up to the quality, straight forwardness and direct advice I’m used to in a private property purchase transaction. Thank you Sarah and the team

Client testimonial Property purchase

I had the pleasure of working with Laura for the purchase of my flat, and I could not be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, Laura was professional, efficient, and incredibly helpful. I felt confident knowing that I had someone trustworthy guiding me through what can often be a complicated process.

Client testimonial Flat purchase

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of having Tracey Gibbons as my conveyancer; she is thorough, efficient, and communicative. Quite simply, I would hire her again and again, and I regularly recommend her to my friends and colleagues. Thank you, Tracey, you’re brilliant!

Client testimonial Conveyancing

Alison helped us with what was probably a fairly straightforward bit of conveyancing but it was all completed within the planned schedules with none of the unexpected delays you so often hear about with these things. She kept us informed at all stages and I’d have no hesitation in recommending her.

Client testimonial Conveyancing

Neither our sale nor our purchase was straightforward and Samantha was fantastic throughout. Calm, efficient, intelligent and yet somehow she kept a sense of humour that was entirely appropriate and at times necessary for our sanity! I would not hesitate to recommend the team at HCR Hewitsons.

Client testimonial Sale and Purchase

I truly appreciate your attention to detail and your guidance during what could have been a much more complicated process. Thanks to your efforts, we were able to get everything done smoothly, and I’m very grateful for your help.

Client testimonial Residential property

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all the hard work and support throughout the process of purchasing the flat. I know there were some stressful moments along the way, but your professionalism and dedication helped us navigate through and successfully complete the transaction.

Client testimonial Flat purchase

We just wanted to thank you for the work you completed in relation to our recent house move and, in particular, Samantha‘s support when things with our proposed purchase were a little tricky.

We are so pleased that we didn’t pursue the purchase of the apartment and we have now found a property to rent which will give us the opportunity to live back in Cambridge and make sure that this is where we want to eventually buy a property.

Client testimonial House sale

I recently worked with Arran Bhatti on the purchase of my first home, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received.

Throughout it all, Arran’s expertise and professionalism were invaluable. From the very beginning, he made me feel at ease, explaining each step of the process clearly and guiding me through the complexities with confidence.

Client testimonial House purchase

Thank you so much for your work in helping us to secure our home. Throughout the process, you and your team have been professional, extremely efficient and yet always approachable, caring and friendly. We very much enjoyed the team approach which you have implemented – it has meant that we always knew that a team member would be working on our case and we haven’t needed to worry that holiday or other absence might impact the process. Under your leadership, your team runs like clockwork and we’ve valued working with them, both collectively and as individuals.

Liz Deakin Homeowner

Tracey Crolla at HCR acted on our behalf recently for the sale of our house. We found Tracey to be extremely helpful, efficient and responsive – and we’re delighted that she was able to complete the sale of our home within an eight to nine week period. We could not have asked for a better service.

Mr B House sale

Tracey Crolla has been outstanding all the way through. We have tried to buy three houses in the past year and Tracey has helped us through it all, I can’t imagine how much harder it would have been without her reliability.
