I used Ollie to purchase an old agricultural barn with planning permission to convert to a home. This was a more complex purchase than anticipated due to boundaries, challenges with services, accessways etc but his knowledge and attention to detail was second to none and really took our future needs into consideration. Being new to purchasing land we had no idea what the right questions were to ask, but he anticipated our needs and acted as a real partner to us rather than just offering a service. Whilst we were buying the land outright, we eventually needed to get a self build mortgage and he knew which elements a future lender would need to see and gave us great advice for the longer term too. Ollie kept us informed right the way through and was very proactive, would highly recommend him (and Ashtons Legal) to anyone else going through a similar situation.

We have completed several remortgages with Russell and Russell. Good communication and smooth process. Gulrez Khan and Callum in particular were very quick and efficient in getting them through. Will definitely be using again!

We reached out to Ian to help with a deed of easement on our property. Over the course of the process, Ian was always on top of things and let us know exactly what we needed to do to make progress. Ian also regularly CC’d us into emails between himself and the other party so that we could keep track of what stage things were at. Ultimately, a stress free and successful experience which isn’t always the case with some solicitors.

Steph managed the purchase of my first property. She is truly a lovely and patient human being! A majority of my phone calls were answered at the time I called and emails often responded to on the same day, if not at the start of the next day. There were many delays from the third party solicitors (verified by the statements of account where the seller had not paid for the management pack until 4 and a half months in and failed to provide documentation when asked stating that her parents were abroad and dealing with the sale) However, Steph, chased the other solicitor relentlessly and kept me updated throughout. Telephone calls with Steph explained everything clearly. Steph sent me documents through as they were sent from the seller, which was really helpful. Lilac Law as a company do have a few things they need to improve on, which is why I have only given 4 stars. The first is billing management and being made aware of extra charges. Everything at completion happened very quickly and not wanting to delay my purchase anymore I paid the extra fees without questioning. However, a week later, I have realised that there was not any consent given to undertake any extra work, which ended up with over £500 of extra fees to be paid, that I was not aware of. I do feel these fees are legitimate, however, it is a requirement from the Solicitors Regulation Authority that any additional charges are explained and consent gained for any extra work on top of the initial quote, which did not happen. The extra charges were explained when the confirmation statement had been sent, but at this point the additional work had already been undertaken. It therefore would be nice if there was a client portal to track the progress, have access to documents and see real time billing information. I did ask twice for a summary so far in the last month before completion, but I was told that I would get a confirmation statement itemising charges after exchange. This left me a little shocked at the bill. I also felt that company policy was to be very cautious about legal advice given, and as a result I had to do a lot of my own research, before instructing my conveyancer on how to proceed. However the one particular problem this affected was resolved within 24 hours of my instruction. I also spoke to Lorna Ferguson, a company director at the beginning of the process about stamp duty. She very confidently told me that I would have to pay an extra £1500. After seeking independent tax advice, which cost me £425, it turned out the advice and reasons for the advice given by Lorna were incorrect. On this occasion she sounded very confident in her advice and her reasoning, but this turned out to be incorrect.

We recently sold our property with Aisling handling the conveyancing, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service she provided. From the outset, Aisling was professional, efficient, and incredibly easy to work with. She guided us through the entire process with clarity and confidence, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. Aisling kept us informed at every stage, was quick to respond to any questions, and always acted with our best interests in mind. Her attention to detail and proactive approach ensured there were no delays, and everything was completed on schedule. If you’re selling a property and want a solicitor who is knowledgeable, reliable, and a true professional, I would highly recommend Aisling. She made the whole experience far less daunting, and we’re extremely grateful for her support.

Throughout à very complicated situation of handling my affaires with a difficult " buyer to be" that procrastinated for long periods Rachel remained calm and proffessional-always looking after my interests.

Me and my wife have just purchased our first home and to say it was an easy process is an understatement. Both Jessica and Rachel made the whole journey experience a breeze. Not only did they answer all of our questions and kept us up to date, but they had a real care about how they interacted with both of us. Would choose SAS Daniels while Jessica and Rachel were there. I must also give a shout out to Ashleigh for sorting out Declaration of Trust out and providing the same excellent service too. Wish all three of them the best for the future 😊
