Simply the best

Carina and Daisy at Elite Law have been just outstanding. The best firm I have used for conveyancing. Both Carina and Daisy were super professional, efficient, knowledgeable and fast to respond and turn things around. Plus they are both delightful people to deal with and I knew I could trust them implicitly. They both went over and above to give me additional support with some special needs I have. They made it possible to complete the transaction smoothly and swiftly. They provided reassurance and solutions when the odd glitch came up from the other side. They just did not drop the ball once. I would heartily recommend Elite Law for conveyancing matters. Thank you for everything, Carina and Daisy! Simply brilliant.

Great experience

Carina and her team were great from beginning to end. No question was too small or silly and they worked really hard to get us to completion with selling and buying a property.

The Ballad of Garage Number Six For months the sale kept rolling on, as weeks and deadlines flew, With forms and funds and final checks, and always something new. But through it all Carina stood, persistent, sharp and sound, She chased, she called, she kept things moving, whenever things ground down. With Daisy too to see it through, they pushed it to the end, Responsive, calm and diligent — exactly what you’d recommend. They kept me fully up to date, through every twist and turn, And kept their humour throughout too — five stars they truly earned. So Garage Six has finally sold, exchanged, completed, done, The funds are in, the keys are gone — at last, the race is run. My thanks to Carina, Daisy and the whole Elite Law crew, A brilliant job from start to finish — this ballad is just for you.

Carina Brits and the team at Elite Law Solicitors handled our house purchase brilliantly from start to finish. Carina was responsive, clear and reassuring throughout - she explained every stage in plain English, chased things promptly and always came back to us quickly whenever we had a question. Buying a home is stressful enough, and having a solicitor who kept us properly informed made an enormous difference. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carina and the Surbiton team.
