Exceptional

Engaged Downs to help with our house move, which was far from straightforward, and they were absolutely superb. Bill took point and was fantastic, though the whole team were excellent to deal with. Fantastic communication, went above and beyond to help us through so I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

KIndness and Professionalism

Nicola guided me through one of the most difficult periods of my life with kindness and professionalism. She was always available for reassurance and was clear as to what my options were and the consequences of each option. I felt protected legally and safe emotionally with Nicola. She dealt with me compassionately and with warmth. I felt in safe and capable hands- thank you.

Excellent advice and client relationship skills

Annabelle Hubbard has helped me with two matters at two firms now. She's been effective, clear and diligent and given excellent advice on both occasions. Moreover, she had the broad facts of my old case at her fingertips even though she had moved firms.

Outstabnding service

I cannot recommend Bill Rashbrook at Downs Solicitors highly enough. Our sale involved an extremely complex issue with our freeholder that prevented us from exchanging contracts. My original solicitors were unable to deal with the complexities of amending the lease, and it looked as though the sale might not be able to proceed. Bill took ownership of the matter from the outset and gave us complete confidence that it could be resolved. No problem was ever too big, and his professionalism, knowledge, and determination were outstanding throughout. Behind the scenes, Bill worked tirelessly, coordinating with the freeholder, the freeholder's solicitors, my buyers' solicitors, my onward purchase solicitors, and the estate agents involved in both transactions. He kept everything moving forward, resolved issues as they arose, and ultimately achieved what others had been unable to do. Without Bill's expertise and persistence, I genuinely don't believe our sale and purchase would have completed. He went above and beyond at every stage, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did.

Excellent service and support from Bronwyn and Liz throughout the entire process of our sale and purchase.

We have just completed on our house sale and we have had excellent service from Downs and particularly Liz Rose and her team. We were helped to ensure the documentation we needed to provide was done accurately and ahead of schedule, and as a result the whole process ran smoothly. Highly recommended.
