June and Aimee went above and beyond to help us with our house purchase. Nothing was a bother to them and they answered any questions we had quickly, professionally and honest. Would definitely recommend.

June Shires

I decided to go through this solicitors as I had heard nothing but good reviews about June. June was nothing but attentive, professional and punctual with all correspondence. Nothing was a hassle for her whether it was dealing with surveys, speaking to other parties on our behalf, acting with integrity and pushing for a quick exchange date. I cannot speak anymore highly of June. She was pleasant to speak to and made all this stressful experience an absolute walk in the park. I would recommend June to all family, friends and acquaintances.

Smooth process

We recently sold and bought a house using Freers Askew Bunting and the process went as smoothly as we could of hoped for. We were regularly made aware of what stage our deals were at and had plenty of communication with Lynne Robinson and her team.
Any questions we had were promptly answered by Laura Moore and Isobel Wright amongst others.

Couldnā€™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 Iā€™ve used FAB for a sale & purchase and Iā€™d have no hesitation using them again. Thank you!

A very mixed bag in truth. The lack of urgency and inability to update you is lacking. Otherwise fine. Btw this is my second, but better transaction with them. This is an improvement.
