Ruth is amazing...

For the past 3 years you have supported both me and Ruby with so much paperwork, so many phone calls, multiple application forms, and complicated stuff that we did not understand. We cannot thank you enough. You have been part of my support network, and I will miss you dearly. You are simply fabulous. Your knowledge base is like an encyclopedia, your people skills are amazing, and I thank you for all of the times I cried on the phone, or didn't understand, or didn't reply because I couldn't face it. You are a phenomenal human being, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for everything that you have done for us. Thank you Ruth :-) x x x

The team in Ashton's legal have been nothing short of professional and have gone above and beyond to see our case to fruition. I do not have enough words to express how great the whole team has been for me and my family in our nearly a decade long journey together. Very transparent with the process. Will recommend Ashton's to anyone, especially if it's a medical negligence case. Great professional. Great service 👍

Excellent service

We are extremely pleased with how Harriet Richardson dealt with the estate of our late aunt. She was very efficient, professional and competent in dealing with the matter so much so that we have instructed Ashtons conveyancing department to deal with the first registration of our property. We would recommend Harriet to anyone needing assistance.

Housing & Property

A complicated process made easy

I recently purhcased a share of freehold flat in London and the process was complicated both by ambiguities in the governance arrangements of the freehold and last minute problems with the lender. In both cases Andrew from Ashtons did an excellent job in addressing these issues in a quick and effective manner whilst keeping me informed of developments. His calm, professional, and friendly approach combined with his diligence in reviewing the legal arrangements for the purchase made what could have been an incredibly stressful process relatively straightforwards. I would happily recommend Ashton's to anyone on the back of this experience.

I would highly recommend Ashtons Legal for their outstanding service and support throughout our house purchase. A special thank you to Andrew Skuse and Rachel Chilton, who were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Their professionalism, expertise, communication, and dedication made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier. They went above and beyond to help ensure everything was handled smoothly and, ultimately, made our house purchase possible. We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work and would not hesitate to recommend Andrew, Rachel, and the team at Ashtons Legal to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and supportive legal team. Thank you once again for everything!

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.
