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.

Excellent service so far from Kate Matthews

Kate took the time to fully understand the problem I was having with my clients and pro-actively discussed the different options available to get to resolution as quickly as possible and without spending excessive amounts on lawyers bills! Very pleased with the service so far, would highly recommend.

Bill is always quick to respond to any queries, both by email and phone. He is flexible and happy to adapt to the clients requirements to ease the process, he is helpful and gives good advice. The communication is always timely and clear. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services and use him again should the need arise.

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!

I recently worked with Liz and Bronwyn to help close the sale of a flat, and I can't recommend them enough! The process took a bit longer than expected, which can be really stressful, but they made everything so much easier. They were incredibly supportive and always kept me in the loop. Whenever I had questions, they were quick to respond and explained things in simple terms, which I really appreciated. Their professionalism and dedication made a huge difference during this whole journey. I’m so grateful for their help in making the sale happen!

Liz and Bronwyn handled the sale of our mother's house superbly. The process was made smooth and easy by them. It took away the stress as they managed everything efficiently and really looked after our interests. Even the smallest of things were dealt with hassle free with no fuss. Our thanks once again.

Having contacted Downs for legal advice, I was promptly called back by Lily who handled my query not only with professionalism but also with a particularity sympathetic attitude. Having outlined various options, she provided expert advice on how best to proceed with which I was happy to concur. Altogether, first class service combined with an empathetic approach - thank you Lily!

We could not have asked for more!

Bill and Natasja were great to work with. They were pleasant and professional, knowledgeable and proactive, prompt, efficient and kept us well informed throughout - we could not have asked for more. We were trying to buy a flat for my father-in-law. Bill's intuition on the first was spot on, and we pulled out. On the second, from instruction to completion it took just 5 weeks, despite 2 Bank Holiday weekends! Thank you! Highly recommended.

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.

Hi Scott. Thank you SO much for this review - we love it very much! We will make sure that we pass your brilliant words on to Terina. We're really pleased that she was able to support you so well through the divorce process, it's never an easy thing to go through but it's definitely makes it slightly easier to have someone you can rely on to always be on hand. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review, it's much appreciated. The Downs Team.

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.

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).
