Beyond the call of duty.

Kavitha Rajah and her team handled the sale of my late mother's house, despite three sales failing at the final hurdle (Local authority searches}. This was because they incorrectly stated that there was no legal access to the house. Finally we got this corrected, and thanks to Kavitha's patience the fourth sale went through, after almost two years. Despite the work done, the costs were extremely reasonable, and the service professional throughout.

Simply the best!

Kavitha Rajah and her team helped with the conveyancing for our house sale. As a mortgage broker myself I deal with all the solicitors in the local area and beyond. None of these are as professional, diligent and efficient as Kavitha. Often my clients pick solicitors for speed and professionalism where they are promised a quick seamless process, to often this doesn't happen and the process drags out over months.
With Kavitha and her team this was NOT the case and they worked diligently, timely and responsive to get the sale through. I cannot recommend her and the team enough.
Many thanks

Excellent Solicitors

I have sold two houses with Judge and Priestley and they have done a superb job on both occasions. They are consistently professional, reliable and friendly. In my recent sale there were some challenges on the other side - the buyer's solicitors were disorganised and unresponsive - but Kavitha and her team managed the situation superbly to get the sale completed. I have found J&P very quick to respond to any queries I had by email or by phone and they gave me good advice when I needed it. Kavitha is a consummate professional and I was very pleased with the service she offered. I would absolutely use them a third time.

Will Trust advice

I am very pleased with the way Isabel Elliott gave me advice when dealing with a family Will which included a Trust Fund. Isabel was professional, efficient and above all very compassionate at a difficult sad time. She showed empathy and understanding I would highly recommend Isabel’s services.

Painless house sale

Having just completed the sale of our family home, acting as Power of Attorney for my mother, I was grateful for the guidance given by Kavitha Rajah and her team. The whole legal process happened really smoothly and I appreciated the efficiency and calm way it was handled.

My Will

I am very pleased to give a review of my experience with Russell Ali. He is a very able and competent young man. Very friendly and organised. He went through all the things I needed to do with regard to my Will and also explained Letter of Wishes etc. He was very polite and did a really good job. I would recommend him to friends. Thank you Russell for all you help.

Executor for my Aunt's Estate

This was my first time as executor of an estate and was a little bit daunted going into the process, in spite of having as much documentation, I thought relevant for the case.

Once the process started, I guided ery professionally and with absolute clarity from Russell from start to finish.

I frequently was double checking with him when sending back various documents and emails, and it was always dealt with no fuss from Russell, and he was happy to placate my many questions with no fuss at all.

All in all, it was a very good experience with the company, even though dealing with the banks on the other side of the process was often painful.

Would happily recommend Russell to anybody needing his legal expertise.

Very happy with the process while learning a thing or two at the same time. To be finished in 10 months I felt was aive very good outcome for me.

We recently used Judge & Priestley's conveyancing services. Elizabeth Besufekad provided a 5* service assisting with the sale of our flat. She was quick to respond to any queries and very personable and friendly.

Having been recommended by a friend I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Judge and Priestley.
My will was dealt with in a very professional , courteous and friendly manner by Hannah Kirkpatrick and exceeded my expectations.
Above all it’s the peace of mind I feel.
More than happy to recommend to others.

My family appointed Judge and Priestley to deal with the administration of my late mother’s estate. Our case was dealt with specifically by solicitor Hannah Kirkpatrick and was first-rate in every sense. Every query was dealt with promptly and with compassion – and we could not have wished for better advice and service. Highly recommended.
