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.

Authorship of Wills with Life Interest over home

We took advice to go to Ashtons to have our Wills written because we each wanted our share of our House to be placed in Trust for our children, but with a Life Interest in the house for the survivor. This provided some safeguard for each of our halves of the house against future unforeseen events (to pass to our children) while at the same time guaranteeing availability of the whole house (or any replacement) as a rent-free domicile for our survivor. I trusted Ashtons to have the Legal Knowledge to ensure this was done and to provide all relevant legal advice (including Inheritance advice) and details of options.

A streamline service for Wills and POA's

Emily + Louise acted in a professional manner while at the same time being open + friendly. They went through the whole process in detail on the two occasions we met, asking questions along the way to ensure we fully understood. I would not hesitate in recommending Ashton to friends and family.

Our experience with Ashtons Legal was excellent. Antonia Ridley-Hughes and her team were very knowledgeable and efficient, replying promptly to our enquiries and completing work in good time and at reasonable cost. Antonia helped us to negotiate the complexities of cross border (England and France) estate planning and wills with clarity and in detail. She also has a friendly manner and is always professional. We would not hesitate to recommend both Antonia and Ashtons Legal to interested parties.

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.
