Excellent Conveyancing Solicitor

I had an excellent experience working with James Ray and his assistant Orla on what was a genuinely tricky sale. Their service was exceptional from start to finish, and their communication throughout was outstanding — I always knew where things stood and felt well looked after at every stage. Whenever a complication arose, they offered solid, sage advice and handled it with real professionalism and care. I would not hesitate to recommend James, Orla, and the wider team to anyone looking for a dependable, expert conveyancing solicitor.

Professional, responsive and stress free conveyancing.

Professional, responsive and stress free conveyancing. I recently used Orla and James at Judge and Priestley for the sale of my late mother’s property. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They explained every step of the legal process clearly and were always on hand to answer questions. Their attention to detail on the contract details gave me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable conveyancing solicitor.

I can't recommend James Ray and his assistant Orla highly enough. From start to finish, they provided exceptional service on what turned out to be a genuinely tricky sale, and they handled every twist and turn with patience, skill, and reassuring professionalism. What stood out most was their communication — I was never left wondering what was happening or what came next. James and Orla kept me updated at every stage, explained things clearly, and were always quick to respond whenever I had a question or concern. That kind of consistent, proactive contact made a stressful process feel genuinely manageable. On top of that, the advice they gave throughout was sound, sensible, and clearly grounded in real expertise. They didn't just process paperwork — they actively looked out for my interests and helped me navigate some complicated moments with confidence. I'd not hesitate to recommend James, Orla, and the wider team to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor who combines real professionalism with a genuinely personal touch. Outstanding service all round.

I would highly recommend James Ray and specifically Orla Ferris from the Sidcup Office. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive and extremely helpful. They kept me updated throughout the process, explained everything clearly, and were always quick to answer any questions I had. Buying a property can be stressful, but their knowledge and attention to detail made the whole process feel much easier and gave me real peace of mind. I’m very grateful for all their hard work and would happily use their services again. Highly recommended!

James and Orla were amazing with our recent flat purchase!. They were professional, supportive, responsive and always made time for any questions we had. As first time buyers, navigating the purchase process can be quite daunting, but James made sure to sit down with us and go over the full report so we knew exactly where we stood and what the next steps would be. They were also very proactive in chasing up responses to enquiries from the seller's solicitor, which was integral to pushing the sale through within the time frame they originally estimated. Overall their service was professional and efficient, and we would highly recommend!

I recently used Orla Ferris and James Ray at Judge & Priestley to assist me with the sale of my property. The whole process, from beginning to end was excellent. They were both so professional, efficient and supportive. Thank you Orla and James, I can't thank you enough for completing the sale of my property within such a very tight timeframe! Orla Ferris was truly outstanding... such an incredible asset to Judge & Priestley.

They were both friendly, efficient, responded to questions quickly and explained the conveyancing process. Highly recommend!! Thank you for making what was, at times, a stressful time much easier to navigate. Thank you!
