Ashtons Legal were professional and efficient. I had direct contact with my solicitor who was friendly. They were proactive, and I was kept fully aware about my case. I would recommend.

.Non-Resident Matters

5

As non-resident UK citizens with property in the UK, we were in need of thoughtful advice on how to arrange our UK affairs for estate purposes. Alan Brown was very knowledgable about our situation and helped us make the right planning decisions and Alice Trainer helped us with the formalities of having a let property in the UK. Highly recommended.

Long-time relationship

5

Bearing in mind my long-time (over 60 years) relationship with Ashtons, I can't give a dispassionate review! I only give a "4" for value for money because I remember what the firm would have charged for such work when I first joined it (on a salary of £13.50 per week).
