Experienced residential conveyancing solicitor Abigail Cumpstone has joined Howells Solicitors to strengthen our legal team in Newport. More...

Last Thursday, we were delighted to win the Professional Services Award at the Cardiff Regional Awards finals.

What Are the Cardiff Regional Awards? And Why Were We Nominated?

The glittering ceremony at the Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel and Spa celebrated the achievements of companies and individuals operating in and around the capital. More...

Last Friday Howells Solicitors won The Gold Award in The Best Large Conveyancing company category of The Sunday Times / The Times Estate Agency of the Year 2015 Awards.

Competing against conveyancing companies from across the UK, the judging panel awarded us the top prize and said we are ‘a stand out business.’

This achievement follows our success in September when Howells achieved a first for a UK law firm and won three categories at the conveyancing industry's prestigious annual Law Firm Services Awards including the premier ‘Overall Conveyancing Firm of the Year’.

A Word from Mark Hobbs

Managing partner Mark Hobbs said of our successes in 2015:

“The Award is a fitting finale for Howells in 2015. We started the year by announcing a record turnover for the company and have created over 31 jobs across all of our six branches with more planned during 2016. More...

Some of the Howells’ private client solicitors and legal professionals recently organised a five mile sponsored walk around Cardiff Bay, taking in many of the Bay’s landmarks.

Fundraising for George Thomas Hospice Care

We chose to donate all proceeds from our walk to George Thomas Hospice Care, a local charity providing palliative care services. The charity needs to raise funds of £1.4m each year to help the 100 plus patients and their families and we wanted to do something to support them.

A walk in the sunshine

On a lovely autumnal afternoon under a blue sky and wearing our Howells t-shirts, we headed off at a leisurely pace walking from the bronze statues overlooking the old landing piers passing Techniquest to Penarth Marina and then along the Cardiff Bay Barrage. We then turned for home and continued to the Dr Who exhibition centre and Norwegian Church before arriving at one of the Bay’s pubs for a refreshing drink. More...

Our honest, transparent approach to the home conveyancing process really does make us different to the majority of our competitors. In a recent survey of conveyancing firms conducted by TM Group, over 60% of respondents refused to give quotes over the phone, the majority failed to follow up the call and almost a quarter failed to provide their phone number on their website!

Howells Solicitors are in the minority of the 100 firms mystery shopped who provide an ‘Advanced’ service

Howells Solicitors was included in the survey and found to provide positive / favourable replies to the majority of the questions asked by the mystery shopper.

In addition to this, Business Development Executive, Lauren Cubitt, who answered the call, was complimented for her ‘very polite and friendly’ manner.
