Afsha Ayub

Tagged solicitor Afsha Ayub

We used Levi Solicitors on the recommendation of the estate agents that we had for selling our home. I am so grateful to Levi,especially Afsha Ayub and all of Team Ayub on the selling of our property, and again Lisa Wilson and all of Team Wilson involved in the purchase of our new home. From the out set of the procedure the communication by mail, and email, kept my wife and myself informed , and on the occasions when we needed to talk to someone to fully understand the conveyancing procedures we were treated with respect by both Teams who took time to explain and resolve our questions. The selling was fairly straightforward , our old house was 30 years old on a modern estate development, and we had lived there for 25 years. The purchase was the complete opposite, a barn conversion, a developer who had three conversions on the same plot as his own property. Lisa Wilson’s specialist knowledge on this type of property was incredibly useful, as the seller/developer was unaware of Land Registry problems on the property. At the very last moment in the process as this problem was exposed , the very clear and concise advice from Levi and Lisa in particular, helped me to fully understand my options, and I will be eternally grateful for the support we’re given at this time. Thankfully, the issues were resolved, and we were able to exchange contracts and complete soon after. A small hiccup with one document with Land Registry came to light and I am so glad the completion Team at Levi were dealing with this on our behalf I would recommend Levi to anyone thinking of buying and selling their house. I found that the Teams under the solicitor all work together, keep excellent records of phone calls and emails, and post, and their professional consistent and considerate approach to the client helps greatly in the stressful conditions that exist during the house moving processes.

Comfort Chingarande

Tagged solicitor Comfort Chingarande

I’ve just concluded a case with Comfort Chingarande and we were successful. From the very beginning, he was calm, reassuring, and encouraging, which immediately put us at ease. This was our first time in court and one of the toughest moments we have faced, but he guided us through it with confidence and professionalism. His points were strong and well structured, even when we had not supported matters as well as we should have from our side. Although he used legal terms at times, it was clear he knew exactly what he was doing. Most importantly, he genuinely believes in his clients and fights their corner. I hope I never have to be in court again, but if I ever did, Comfort Chingarande is the solicitor I would want. Highly recommended.

I first met Sally Eastwood's Assistant / Secretary, then I met Sally herself. I noticed lots of good things during the advice I received, but especially the communication skills of both Ladies. Letters were sent, agreements made, and I ended up much better off for their troubles! I would definitely recommend this firm.
