Great communication and professional advice

We’re recommended by our local estate agents as being quick, proactive and very professional which we found through our conveyancing process. Great at keeping us up to date with progress without being chased, easy to talk to over the phone with any questions we had. They came across as very experienced and knowledgeable the whole time and I’m glad that they put a partner to lead our case with assistants as well to speed everything along. Fees were clear from the beginning and later tasks that were quotes were very reasonable.

House purchase

Both Katherine and Kiren were a great help through the purchase of our first home. Katherine was incredibly helpful and happy to answer any questions we had, or explain bits we didn’t understand

Good All Round Service

We needed to alter our existing Wills and chose Ames Kent because they are local. The advice and service we received was clear and accurate and the staff pleasant and easy to deal with. Good value for money and we would recommend them to anybody.
