About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Highly recommend Winston Solicitors
We recently used Winston Solicitors for conveyancing on both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one. Michelle Ayres was exceptional throughout. She was accessible, proactive, and it genuinely felt like she was on our side and working in our best interests. There were a few challenges in the chain, but Michelle was always willing to take the time to explain the situation, outline our options, and keep everything moving. As our process stretched over 6 months, there were times when Michelle was out of the office, but Olivia Cooke and Samantha Robertson-Strong seamlessly picked things up and ensured nothing ever slipped. It was an outstanding experience that made a difficult and often stressful process far more manageable. We would highly recommend Winston Solicitors, and especially Michelle, to anyone, and we will certainly look to use their services again in future (although we plan to enjoy our new home and give ourselves a well earned break for now).

This is the second conveyancing transaction that Winston Solicitors have completed for myself and my wife and I would not hesitate to use them again and would recommend their service to anyone who asks. Pricing for their services is competitive and quality, communication, ease of understanding and speed of response is first rate. Gold Stars all round to Leasa Foster and the team at Winstons! Leasa is professional and approachable and communicates easily and with transparency, ensuring that any complex issues are readily understood, even by the 'layman'

Smooth process
We recently moved house and used Winston Solicitors for the conveyancing on both sale and house purchase. The process was very smooth and Sidraa Razaq was amazing all the way through to completion. Communication was excellent and her attention to detail was second to none. We moved houses a few times and this was the best experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Winston Solicitors and Sidraa as a real star. Sidraa worked effortlessly to complete our sale and purchase. I know she was extremely busy but always responded to emails and phone calls even well after office hours. Sidraa was always prepared to explain our legal position to help us make the right decisions. Great attention to detail which gave us full confidence in our purchase. We will use Winston's and Sidraa in any future conveyancing.

Fantastic experience! After a couple of previous houses unfortunately fell through over the last year, alongside a few other issues, we ended up dealing with four different conveyancers over a two-year period. Our frustrating experiences with the first three corporate firms are what ultimately pushed me to go local and choose a smaller company and I am so glad I did! The entire process with this firm was incredibly smooth. Michelle replied promptly to every single query and the service was still very reasonably priced. Even our estate agents remarked on how impressed they were with Michelle's quick responses and ease of communication. Whenever I had a question, I knew it would be answered often on the exact same day via email and we received constant, transparent updates as milestones were completed. I vastly preferred this direct, human communication over the overly complex online portals I had to use with past firms. I would highly recommend Michelle and this firm to anyone looking to buy a house, especially first-time buyers who want a stress-free experience. Thank you so much!

We were really impressed with the service that we received from both Leasa and Julie. The process was efficient, communication was great and we liked the online portal where you could see the progress of the sale/purchase easily. Despite some delays from our buyer’s solicitor, both Leasa and Julie seemed to push this daily for us to complete on time. We would recommend Winston’s to others and will use them in the future if we move again!

From the first call to the final resolution in reclaiming my Mums care fees, James has been very clear and honest in his communication through out the process. Reclaiming care fees is not easy to do but with his expertise and knowledge he was able to complete the process in the time outlined despite the various obstacles put in the way by the people we were dealing with. Would fully recommend as a company to work with

I was incredibly lucky to have found then appoint James Urquhart-Burton in October 2025 to assist with my Mam’s CHC funding and from the first point of contact have been impressed, not only with James’ knowledge, professional manner, responsiveness and empathy, but the diligent and tenacious way in which all communications have been delivered, very clear and succinct. My issue with the local ICB is ongoing, yet during this time of great uncertainty, and obvious stress, feel confident in the reassuring support James is providing. James, you have gone above and beyond for us so far and are an absolute gem. Winstons and my Mam and I are so, so fortunate to have you as our Solicitor. Thank you.

Always at the other end of the phone, communication was excellent, along with a progress App which we could access at any point. They did everything they said they would, when they said they would, would highly recommend to others and would be happy to work with both Sam and Michelle again.

Winston Solicitors came highly recommended to us by a friend who had used for buying and selling his house. We are so thankful for the recommendation as honestly the service was fantastic and at every step of the way we knew the team were 'on it' ensuring selling our house and buying a new one was honestly a stress free experience. We cannot thank the team enough, especially Samantha and Joe. You've been amazing.

Sidraa and Paulo were brilliant and faultless. We have gone through the conveyencing process twice before and found the whole experience very frustrating. It was refreshing and very pleasing to find that the team at Winston made sure we were fully informed as things progressed, responded promptly to all of our requests and were friendly and approachable throughout. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend the services by Winston Solicitors. My solicitor went above and beyond to complete the conveyancing process during my house purchase. She always remained accessible and was available to answer my queries at all times. Her instructions were always crystal clear and i was continously updated to ensure i am aware of any progress. Winston Solicitors should be your first choice if you are wanting to work with highly professional individuals.
