Exceptional service, as always!

As with 2 previous conveyancing journeys, Bill went above and beyond to get my property purchase completed, with minimum fuss and maximum attention to the many important details, large and small. Bill consistently demonstrates such professionalism and I know he's always working in my best interests, which means such a lot. His assistant Natasja shows the same level of dedication and between them, kept the purchase moving along despite a few unforeseen spanners in the works! I highly recommend Downs Solicitors, especially Bill Rashbrook and his team.

First time buyers - no stress!

We worked with Bill when buying our first property and he made the whole process feel easy. You often hear horror stories about solicitors, but we had no issues at all and felt comfortable putting our full trust in him! His communication was clear and consistent, he always had our best interests in mind, and whenever something needed chasing he was straight on it and kept us updated. He was also happy to answer any questions we had. We’d definitely recommend Bill and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Highly recommend Probate, Conveyancing & Litigation Services

If you are looking for trustworthy professional, reliable, and efficient solicitors to deal with Probate, Litigation and Conveyancing matters, the team at Downs Solicitors (Dorking) should be No1 on your list. I dealt with Lucy Whittam (Probate), Angus Storar and Liz Rose (Conveyancing). They kept me informed at all stages, handled enquiries effectively and moved the entire legal processes along despite a number of challenges. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Lucy, Angus and Liz and intend on using them again in the future.

We used Downs for a recent property purchase recently, and they were excellent throughout. Liz Rose led the process, with Bronwyn in support. I cannot speak more highly about them, and Liz especially. Incredibly diligent, communicative and timely with their responses. Would highly recommend. Thanks Liz and Bronwyn!

Recently moved into our new home in Dorking and it went without a hitch thanks to Keury and Priscilla. They responded immediately if we contacted them by email/phone, they regularly updated on the progress of the purchase and were a pleasure to deal with. Cannot recommend enough, so pleased (and very reasonable fees).

Hi Jessica. Thanks so much for leaving this fantastic review for Keury and Priscilla, we will make sure that we pass your kind words on to them.

Closing on the sale of a property in the UK when we reside in Australia was potentially challenging but Liz and Bronwyn made this seamless from start to completion. Thanks for all your help.

Hi Samantha! We agree that closing a property sale in the UK while you're living in Australia sounds like rather a logistical challenge. We're really delighted that Liz and Bronwyn were able to support you to make it so seamless. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave the review for Liz and Bronwyn, we'll make sure that we pass your kind words on to them. The Downs Team.

I had the absolute pleasure of dealing with Bronwyn and Liz on the sale of a property we were both acting on behalf of the sellers for. They were both incredibly responsive and efficient. I will be recommending them to my clients in future.

If you're after the best in class, you've come to the right place!

Terina and the team have been an absolute godsend when it came to handling the difficult and often emotional process of dealing with divorce. She was always on hand and made me feel as comfortable and up to date with the process at all times. If I ever have any friends of family needing advice, Terina is absolutely the first choice I would point them to without any doubt in my mind.

Professional, Friendly and Highly Effective Legal Support

We recently worked with Kate and her team on a legal matter and were extremely pleased with the service we received throughout. From the outset, Kate was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly responsive. She took the time to explain matters clearly, provided sound advice when needed, and always made us feel confident that our interests were being protected. What stood out most was the combination of professionalism and a genuinely friendly, approachable manner. Legal matters can often be stressful, but Kate made the process straightforward and reassuring from start to finish. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, we achieved a successful outcome, and we are very grateful for all of her hard work and support. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kate and her firm to anyone seeking reliable, professional legal advice delivered with exceptional client care. Thank you, Kate, for your outstanding service and for helping us achieve such a positive result.

Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Nicola highly enough. She supported me through my childcare arrangements, divorce, and financial matters with professionalism, care, and genuine empathy throughout the entire process. Nicola always took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and made what was a very stressful and emotional time much more manageable. Her compassionate approach, combined with her knowledge and attention to detail, gave me confidence and reassurance when I needed it most. I am incredibly grateful for all of her support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a solicitor who is both highly professional and truly caring.

I have had the pleasure of working with Bill for the past year throughout my first home purchase. Bill was absolutely fantastic the whole time, always providing regular updates without even asking, he was kind, thorough and always took the time to be clear and concise with all the information that comes along with buying a property, especially for a first time buyer like me it can be quite a lot to take in! I would highly recommend Bill to anyone and I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Bill Rashbrook and Natasja Knudsen were excellent throughout the sale of our house. Bill, lead solicitor, was quick to respond, calm and confident in his advice, and always solutions-focussed. Natasja clearly and ably guided us through the opening and closing parts of the transaction. I’d recommend them in an instant. And when the time comes to sell again, I wouldn’t hesitate in instructing them again.

Dear Chris. Thank you so much for leaving this wonderful review of the service you received from Bill and Natasja, we are really pleased that you received such great support from them both on the sale of your house. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review, we will make sure that we pass your kind words on to Bill and Natasja. The Downs Team.
