We chose to use Ashtons lawyers for the 2nd time. Abby Dalziel acted on our behalf again. We would recommend Ashtons and would use them again if needs be. They are very professional, keep you updated and guide you through step by step. Nothing is a hassle for them even when you have 101 questions.

Dear Andrew, We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for everything you did to guide us through the conveyancing process for buying our dream home. Having dealt with a handful of solicitors in the past, I can honestly say that you stood head and shoulders above the rest. Your incredibly speedy replies, clear communication and thorough approach made what is often a stressful process feel smooth and manageable from start to finish. Even when obstacles such as required repairs arose, you handled them with clear comments, making the whole process so easy for us. We are so grateful for the care and attention you put into every step - it truly made a world of difference for us. A special thank you also to Tracey for her support throughout; we really appreciated your assistance in keeping everything on track. You both made the conveyancing process so smooth and easy - something I’ve found to be VERY rare in past experiences. Thank you so much again.

I rarely leave a full star review but could not fault Ruth Burrell's performance when I extended the lease on my flat and went on to purchase the freehold. She has at all times answered queries and acted promptly. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so.

Excellent and responsive conveyancing service

I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew Skuse and his team. They handled a deceased estate in the UK for me, while I live in Australia. Andrew and the team dealt with the curious particularities of the UK’s property laws for me, enabling a timely and painless settlement.

Excellent service throughout a challenging house sale

I would like to say a big thank you to Lauren, Abby and the whole team for their hard work and professionalism throughout the sale of my late father’s property. As executor of the estate, I really appreciated their patience, support and clear communication, particularly as the sale encountered several delays along the way. Lauren was always helpful, approachable and professional, and I felt confident that everything was being handled properly. I’m very grateful to everyone involved for helping bring the sale to a successful conclusion. I would happily recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing team.

We recently used Ashtons Legal for the purchase of our first home and couldn't be happier with the service we received. A special thank you to Kathryn Smith and Sienna Vincent, who were excellent throughout the entire process. They were responsive, efficient, professional and always willing to answer our questions, no matter how small. Communication was clear and timely, and they consistently kept pace with us whenever we needed information or decisions quickly. Buying a house can be stressful, and we'd heard plenty of horror stories from friends and family about conveyancing solicitors. Thankfully, our experience with Ashtons Legal was the complete opposite. Kathryn and Sienna helped keep everything on track, proactively dealt with issues as they arose, and gave us confidence throughout the transaction. The service was worth every penny and we would not hesitate to recommend Ashtons Legal to anyone purchasing a property. Thank you again for helping us secure our new home.
