Fast and simple
Aimee was brilliant the whole way through our mortgage application. Considering this is our first mortgage, there were a lot of areas we were confused around and Aimee helped
explain these to us. If we had questions that weren’t relevant to legal aspects, Aimee provided us with support information. The whole process was really smooth and we were kept updated regularly.
A representative from Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 10 June, 2025:
That's wonderful to hear, Caitlin. We're so pleased that Aimee was brilliant throughout your first mortgage application. It's great that she patiently explained confusing areas, provided helpful support information for non-legal questions, and ensured the whole process was smooth with regular updates.

Property purchase
We recently appointed the solicitors to purchase our new property and have been very pleased with service. First class service from quotation with Rebecca to purchase/completion with Katie. We appreciated the quick responses to our emails and phone calls. Even when our appointed solicitor was on leave our questions were answered promptly by another member of the team. Katie has been amazing and we would highly recommend ⭐️

Stress free
I haven’t sold a property in over 25 years and was worried about how stressful the process would be. I needn’t have worried as Diane was efficient and professional. She updated me at least weekly so I always knew exactly what was happening and if I needed to contact her she responded straightaway. She was very pro active and approachable. I would recommend Freers Askew Bunting to anyone.
A representative from Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 02 June, 2025:
Thank you for sharing your experience, Shirley. We're so pleased Diane could make your property sale smooth and stress-free, especially after such a long gap. Her proactive updates and approachable service are exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your recommendation.

Excellent Service
I have just completed on my house sale with the help of Freers Askew Buntings Hartlepool office. They have been great, Thank you to June Shires for getting me through to the finish line, after 2 sales fell through I was more than a little nervous and in the last few days emailed June constantly. She replied every tune with reassurance and updates which put my mind at ease. All staff have been polite, friendly, responded really quickly and acted professionally throughout, thanks to Aimee Mcallister too for the early stages.
A representative from Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 06 May, 2025:

It’s great to know that June's reassurance and constant communication helped put your mind at ease. We’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to Aimee as well. Your feedback means a lot, and we’re so glad we could help you successfully complete the sale. If you ever need assistance in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out.

As solicitors acting on our behalf they were patient and fully understood how bamboozled and confusing it was to not only sell a house but having to deal with the death of my mother as well. Katie did a marvelous job and my thanks go to her.

Diane Spurs of Freers Askew and Bunting Solicitors in Hartlepool made my first time house purchase so much easier than first anticipated. Diane communicated excellently with me throughout the process, and made me feel at ease, explaining things and being thorough within the process. Thanks again Diane, and I'd highly recommend Freers Askew and Bunting Solicitors.
A representative from Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 10 December, 2024:

Couldn’t recommend June Shires & Aimee Mcallister at Freers Askew Bunting more. They have been nothing short of Amazing from start to finish dealing with a particularly difficult solicitor / firm in what should have been a relatively simple chain. But we got there in the end, all thanks to the work of June & Aimee. Great communication all the way. This is the second time I’ve used FAB for a sale & purchase and I’d have no hesitation using them again. Thank you!
