Property purchase

Best solicitor in Bradford West Yorkshire . Very knowledgeable in the property purchasing business.
I used Eaton Solicitors twice and they provided with best service and guided us through every step.
My solicitor was Yasser Shafi and He is very professional, responsive and dedicated. Thank you very much for helping us out Yasser Shafi and Hasham Umar.

I was glad, I chose Eatons solicitor based in Bradford town centre branch and highly recommend them.

Retained services

I retained Mr Gilbey services and at the initial meeting he stated he charged £120 an hour. He later denied this and charged £280 an hour. As I had no proof and had left the country I had no choice but to continue. Do not trust this man and make sure you get a written quote prior to retaining his services.

Myself and my partner were recommended Amanda at Eatons through our mortgage advisor as he said she was great to work with.. He definitely wasn't wrong. We started the process and we had many issues along the way and found Amanda to be more than helpful with any set backs we had. She always kept us updated with where we were at with the purchase and answered any questions or concerns we had. We would most definitely recommend Amanda at Eatons as she was so friendly and easy to work with and went out of her way to help make the sale happen. Thankyou so much for all your help and we are so happy in our new home!

I used Eatons to purchase my home and they did a amazing job! They are very hard working and are quick and efficient. They are also very fairly priced.

They where always available for any queries or questions you have and get back to you immediately.

Yasser was handing my file, and always made sure everything was done on time and correctly. A top solicitor.

Highly recommend!

About this branch

Description

One way Eatons is different is because we understand that using a solicitor can be a daunting prospect. It's inevitable — the situation that leads you to consult with one is more often than not one of difficulty and distress. Not to mention that, when you do actually speak with one, they use jargon-filled terminology that is impossible for anyone without a Law degree to understand. Part of the reason we have lasted so long and are trusted by thousands of people is that we approach legal protection from a truly personal standpoint. Avoiding incomprehensible language and drawn-out explanations; we make sure our legal advice is clear and practical for you. In this way, from the moment you contact us, you feel at ease, in control, and safe in the knowledge that you are receiving exactly the right legal protection for you.
