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).

From start to finish Samantha Robertson-Strong and Michelle Ayres were fabulous! 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. Thank you for making it a smooth journey!

Olivia was very helpful with a house sale that had a lot of issues due to external factors. These solicitors also answer your emails fast, unlike some others!

I had a lot of trouble with purchasing a house due to external reasons. Through the entire timeline Olivia was always keeping me updated, and responded fast to emails, something you don't get very often from solicitors! She did her best to meet deadlines and I genuinely felt they cared about the sale for me

We had a great experience with Leasa, who acted for us during our property purchase. She was quick, efficient, professional, and kept everything moving smoothly. We really appreciated her support throughout the process and would highly recommend her services.

Second time using Olivia at Winston Solicitors and once again she delivered. Impeccable service and completed my remortgage within the desired timeframe. Efficient, straightforward and simple.
Anonymous

We are first time buyers and were new to the process of buying a house but our solicitor, Leasa, explained everything clearly to us and was the best solicitor we could wish for in this situation: She was super efficient, thorough, and we had great communication throughout, which was extremely useful. Things got done fast and to a high standard, and Leasa was able to spot things the seller's solicitor wasn't. Everything was super quick and within the timeline we set, so we can highly recommend this firm and have done so to friends who are also buying a house, five stars!

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.

Winston’s provided an excellent conveyance service, both buying our new house and selling our previous house. Various issues that arose were explained to us clearly and sorted out sensibly and quickly. The communication was great, with an online tracker, prompt email responses, and the ability to pick up a phone and speak directly with our solicitor when we needed to. We managed to complete our purchase and move within 3 months of choosing our new home. The whole process was made smooth by the highly competent team at Winstons. We shall certainly be recommending Winstons to our friends.

I could not recommend highly enough James at Winston’s Solicitors. He has been professional, understanding and supportive throughout. Excellent communication, which was always timely and clear. The continuing health care funding process is extremely complicated to navigate alone but with James’ knowledge and support it took a great deal of stress out of it. Thank you!
