Fantastic Service Jessica thank you

Jessica Philpott carried out the conveyancing for the purchase of my property, and I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. From start to finish, Jessica delivered an exceptional level of service. She was consistently responsive, always available to answer any questions, and kept me fully updated throughout every stage of the process. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Jessica completed everything faster than the initial timescale provided, which was a fantastic bonus, and she truly exceeded my expectations in every way. She went above and beyond to ensure the purchase progressed efficiently, and her dedication and expertise were evident throughout. I am extremely grateful for her hard work and would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and highly skilled solicitor. Highly recommended—an outstanding service from start to finish!

Excellent service

I am incredibly grateful to J&P conveyancing for the way they successfully handled our sale. It was unbelievably complicated due to the property being in a trust and delays with the other parties involved. They guided us through the challenges, were extremely thorough and understanding. Thank you!

I have been using J&P for a number of years, recently Kimberley Stewart and Chloe Starck offered first class service (which is standard for Chloe) for a recent purchase and sale. Quite simply they remove all the stress, communication from Chloe is second to none and I cannot rate J&P highly enough.

Massive thanks from us!

Although my partner and I had a very bumpy, stressful and drawn-out property purchase, your staff in the conveyancing team were exceptional and a constant support throughout. Louise’s friendly and attentive attitude made J&P stand out against other solicitor quotes that we received. She was consistently friendly and understanding despite us constantly facing setbacks. Following Louise’s leave, Debbie never failed to provide excellent service, she is a credit to the team, and was always professional, friendly and efficient. Responses were prompt and direct - service was faultless. Maria supported throughout and she also sustained a very high level of service which makes this team easy to recommend to anyone else moving home. Thanks again for making this interaction as good as possible.

I recently used Orla Ferris and James Ray at Judge & Priestley to assist me with the sale of my property. The whole process, from beginning to end was excellent. They were both so professional, efficient and supportive. Thank you Orla and James, I can't thank you enough for completing the sale of my property within such a very tight timeframe! Orla Ferris was truly outstanding... such an incredible asset to Judge & Priestley.

Awful experience with James Pullen who wasn’t a competent or practical enough solicitor to get my purchase through to completion and as a result I had to withdraw from my onward purchase just before exchange and lost my buyer in the process. An absolute waste of 6 months and am now at the start line all over again. Do yourself a favour and avoid. EDIT: In response to your reply, James must have many of his clients chains fall through if he is unable to remember this. He caused me a lot of distress this year so I’m not going to allow him or Judge & Priestley to cause me any further distress on the matter.

We were interested to read your comments about J&P. On inspection of our records, we cannot find a direct reference to you as a conveyancing client of ours. Mr Pullen is an experienced and professional property solicitor, and he is most distressed by your comments. Of course, conveyancing transactions can occasionally fall through, especially if there is a chain involved. In such circumstances we would always work for the best interests of our client in the transaction. Please contact us on dfinnis@judge-priestley.co.uk if you wish to discuss these issues further.

Professional, responsive and stress free conveyancing. I recently used Orla and James at Judge and Priestley for the sale of my late mother’s property. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They explained every step of the legal process clearly and were always on hand to answer questions. Their attention to detail on the contract details gave me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable conveyancing solicitor.

Caroline helped me through my first home purchase, and we didn’t have the easiest ride, but she helped me massively. Buying a house is quite a scary process but Caroline made sure that we understood everything.

I initially met Isabel as Judge & Priestly were the recommended firm to handle matters following the death of my beloved father. She was from the start and all the way through incredibly kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Isabel and her team have done a great job with respect to my father's Estate, supporting me through Probate which in itself is quite an experience. She subsequently also helped me put in place LPAs for myself and also to redraft my Will. She takes great care to explain everything, she is patient and sensitive in her approach and also steps in and galvanises other teams within J&P when matters get particularly complex or difficult. Thank you Isabel!

In August 2023, Isobel helped my father and I with updating our Wills. This year I put in place my LPA, Isobel went through all the stages so clearly and answered questions fully. Isobel is very professional and knowledgeable. Judge & Priestley are very lucky to her as part of their team.

Excellent Conveyancing Solicitor

I had an excellent experience working with James Ray and his assistant Orla on what was a genuinely tricky sale. Their service was exceptional from start to finish, and their communication throughout was outstanding — I always knew where things stood and felt well looked after at every stage. Whenever a complication arose, they offered solid, sage advice and handled it with real professionalism and care. I would not hesitate to recommend James, Orla, and the wider team to anyone looking for a dependable, expert conveyancing solicitor.

Brooke Stevens at the Sidcup office recently helped me with the sale of a property in the Hollies. Brooke was extremely knowledgeable about the estate and handled everything calmly and professionally throughout the transaction. So much so that Brooke is now dealing with my purchase of a new home. I cannot rate her services highly enough.

I can't recommend James Ray and his assistant Orla highly enough. From start to finish, they provided exceptional service on what turned out to be a genuinely tricky sale, and they handled every twist and turn with patience, skill, and reassuring professionalism. What stood out most was their communication — I was never left wondering what was happening or what came next. James and Orla kept me updated at every stage, explained things clearly, and were always quick to respond whenever I had a question or concern. That kind of consistent, proactive contact made a stressful process feel genuinely manageable. On top of that, the advice they gave throughout was sound, sensible, and clearly grounded in real expertise. They didn't just process paperwork — they actively looked out for my interests and helped me navigate some complicated moments with confidence. I'd not hesitate to recommend James, Orla, and the wider team to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor who combines real professionalism with a genuinely personal touch. Outstanding service all round.
