Hughes Solicitors is based in the attractive market town of Heathfield, East Sussex – equidistant between Royal Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne.
Established in 2009, our lawyers look after clients who live and work in Heathfield and the surrounding villages of Burwash, Horam, Mayfield, Rotherfield, Wadhurst, Etchingham, Hawkhurst, Buxted, and the town of Uckfield.
Our focus is on advising private clients on their legal affairs, including:
- moving home or buy-to-let investments;
- property development;
- making a will, power of attorney, and inheritance planning;
- probate and estate administration; and
- care of the elderly and management of their affairs in later life.
We enjoy working for our clients, getting to know them personally and providing the best possible legal advice.
Hughes Solicitors has built its reputation on the quality of advice and the personal service which we provide. As a result, many of our new clients come to us through word of mouth and recommendation by clients or professional advisers.
