House sale

IWe would like to thank Svetlana and any one else involved with the sale of our house. Svetlana was always really helpful and approachable in what turned out to be a rather lengthy sale. We always felt we could contact her wih questions she never made us feel like nuisances! We would certainly request her assistance in any future business and not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends. Many thanks for everything.

Selling our late mothers house in Harlow

From start to finish, the service we received from Whiskers Solicitors for the sale of my late mother’s house was exceptional. Their team was professional, reliable, and consistent throughout the entire process. Both my sister and I were kept fully informed every step of the way — by phone and by email — with clear updates and prompt responses to any questions we had. It was reassuring to know that someone was always available at the end of a phone call or email whenever we needed support. This has genuinely been the most professional and effective experience I’ve ever had with solicitors during a property sale. We’re so grateful for their care, attention, and efficiency during what was an emotional time for our family. Highly recommended without hesitation.

Thank you Maymunah

I cannot thank Maymunah enough. I was in the sad and emotional position of having to sell my mothers home of 68 years due to my mother moving into a care home. I had never been through this process before but Maymunah held my hand throughout the entire process. At all times she was professional, knowledgeable, kept me informed and updated very quickly but Maymunah also showed empathy and understanding in how emotional this process was for me. I never felt like just a number or nameless person at the end of a email, which is rare to find these days and was greatly appreciated. Maymunah is a wonderful ambassador for Whiskers and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Whiskers LLP

Thank you, Ros. We’re so glad Maymunah provided professional, empathetic, and supportive guidance during such an emotional process.

I have been using Shalini Subherwal as my solicitor for family matters for over 10 years. Firstly, for an incredibly difficult divorce and most recently for another matter that needed clearing up. During this time she has always been the voice of reason and provided sound legal advice. I can't recommend Shalini or Whiskers highly enough.

My divorce journey started with Reza in Epping and was finally concluded with Shalini. It was an emotional journey for me and consistent throughout was the caring nature of both of Reza and Shalini. I had an ex determined to create pain and have his moment at court but never once did they allow me to make emotive decisions and were constantly keeping me level headed, making clear decisions without escalation. Thank you to both of you :)

Can not thank Shalini Subherwal at Whiskers solicitors enough for all her work, advice and support she provided my family and me over the last few months. Communication with Shalini was extremely efficient, easy, quick. Always returned emails and phone calls. Shalini helped us with a family law issue and was incredibly knowledgeable. Provided clear and accurate information. I can honestly say that not only did she provide an exceptional professional service, she shows compassion and support on a personal level which I’m truly grateful for. Thank you so much Shal.

Grant of Probate and Property sale

I initially contacted Whiskers to assist with the sale of my mother’s house, as she had moved into a care home and the fees needed to be covered. Sadly, my mother passed away before the sale was completed, so I then instructed them to help obtain a grant of probate for the family estate. I cannot thank Amy Hodgson at the Epping office enough for her guidance—she was both professional and compassionate throughout. The grant of probate was secured in around five weeks, allowing us to proceed with the sale. I would also like to thank Johanna Withams at the Bishop’s Stortford office for her work on the house sale. She was thoroughly professional while remaining mindful of the family’s circumstances. Overall, my family and I received a five-star service, which we would highly recommend.

Andrew represented me in court. I was looking at time away almost 100% guaranteed. I packed a bag expecting the worst. Andrew worked hard to put a compelling case in my defense and was able to walk out the front door of court. He was very professional and his advice and his services was worth every penny paid. Could not speak highly enough of whiskers have dealt with a lot of solicitors over the years, whiskers has been far the best most professional solicitors I have ever had to use and would recommend them to anyone in need of a criminal solicitor

Whiskers LLP

Thank you for your excellent five-star review, Jack! We are very pleased that Andrew represented you with such success in court.
