  We used Trethowans when buying our first house and Lucy was brilliant. She was fast to action, but patient with her explanations when I did not understand something. We have since recommended others to use Trethowans.

  Fantastic experience! We've used Lorna for conveyancing twice now and both times she has been amazing. Lorna and Elisha have been so helpful and attentive, with a good eye for detail. Very impressed all round and would happily use again.

  Trethowans provided an excellent service. All staff were friendly, the communication and service was excellent. They always responded to any emails/queries promptly. Would highly recommend.

  Trethowans Winchester house purchase conveyancing service. Trethowans offer a no fee insurance for a modest sum in the event of a no-sell or no-buy. We sold thanks to a long and fragile chain being well managed by our estate agent Savills and Lorna at Trethowans. For our purchase, Trethowans unearthed an unsatisfactory S106 agreement, and we pulled out. The no-fee insurance was a relief. We went on to purchase another property, and the legal work was completed in under two months. Trethowans almost always responded to queries within 24 hours. The service was personal and supportive.

  I have recently bought a house with the help of Lorna Secker and her secretary Elisha Smith. Compared with my recent terrible experience of working with solicitors my experience with Lorna & Elisha has been fantastic. From keeping me updated (without having to constantly ask) to responding promptly to my numerous questions, a truely professional team. I thoroughly ecommend them.

  Lorna Secker and Lucy Spollin are simply fantastic. The professional, tireless approach to conveyancing is second to none. I have dealt with solicitors in the past, it is a night and day contrast with Trethowans. The knowledge they have, and speed of their services was most impressive. I was always left feeling reassured after every friendly, polite update knowing i was in competent safe hands, even when the going got tough.. My faith in solicitors has been restored! I can't thank you all enough. I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. :)

  From an estate agents point of view, I would very highly recommend Lorna and Lucy. Having worked with them on many occasions in a professional capacity, they have always been excellent at communicating updates and working together to speed up the conveyancing process. Thank you for all the hard work!

  Dealing with Trethowans and specifically Laura Bell has been a pleasure in difficult circumstances. Professional and clear advice gave me the legal confidence I needed. Would highly recommend.

  I literally cannot begin to praise Laura and the team in the family department at Trethowans enough. I was introduced to Trethowans by the lovely Emilie who gave me the confidence to change solicitors during divorce proceedings – yes it really is doable and its also very simple- please don’t fall into the trap that I am sure many do assuming that once you have signed to a solicitors that you are with them till the end – if they aren’t working for you and by this I really mean it – fighting for you- then they aren’t worth your hard earned money. Laura simply was a breath of fresh air – she went above and beyond with what turned into a 2 year ‘battle’ but I have to admit kept me sane – she was able to let me vent and get things off my chest but she was then able to put it in a way that would protect my position and also would sometimes make me think and realise that things weren’t as bad as I thought. She spoke to me in the evenings as she totally understood I work in the NHS and it wasn’t appropriate for me to take calls at work – unlike the previous solicitor who was also great at sending emails at 4.55pm and then leaving for the day and replying days later during which time I had gone to worst case scenario in my head– Laura got to know me and understood if she was sending me something that I might need a chat about she would have pre-empted this and say that she could talk that evening. She was calm and level-headed and was able to give me the best advice – something that comes from her vast experience and knowledge base – and was able to advise on the best Barrister to use – in her words ‘we would rather Her on our side than against us’ and I totally agree. The outcome she achieved for me, and my daughters was quite simply life changing – I know that sounds overly dramatic, but it really was – I honestly don’t think if I had stayed with the previous solicitor Id have got the same outcome. I honestly felt like it wasn’t a me and that’s my solicitor relationship felt like I had a partnership with them; and this was very much shown in the language all the team at Trethowans use for example– not from when ‘you go to court’ but ‘when we go to court.’ I wasn’t spoken down to and never laughed at when I asked silly questions – Laura and the team understood I hadn’t been through this before and took the time to reassure me with some of the legal language – which to a lay person can seem really intimidating and scary. If you are going through the throes of a divorce and aren’t happy with your legal team, of it you are simply looking for some advice about options then my advice would be to speak to Trethowans. I have recommended them to a few friends – one going through a divorce who was so impressed with Laura and like me swapped after the process started, and to a few other friends and colleagues who have needed legal advice in other areas such as conveyancing. A special mention also to Katie – Laura and Emilie’s PA – she is simply wonderful – so professional and good at her job- and I am aware without her timely writing up of reports and emails etc that things wouldn’t have been as smooth as they were – it does take a well-oiled team to make a business work successfully and this is defiantly something Trethowans have perfected. Thank you all
