Very professional solicitor

Lovely experience with Andrew Skuse of Ashton Legal, he made the stressful experience of a conveyance very smooth and prompt information meant that we were always informed of developments quickly.

Conveyancing services

4

Legal Conveyancing services required for the sale of a leasehold flat in the Greater London Area. Andrew Skuse was approchable and able to communicate effectively with the London Borough on our behalf when our own communication attempts with various departments within Redbridge Council were not successful. Andrew also displayed great empathy and good communication skills with all third parties during this legal process.

Fantastic work dealing with bridging loan

5

This year we have tried to purchase one house which fell through due to a bad survey and then successfully purchased a second one.

The house we did purchase was a bit more complex as we used bridging finance and chose to keep Andrew as our solicitor instead of just using the lender's solicitor. I believe we made the right decision there as Andrew was on top of everything, he has been the only solicitor I trust that when I don't hear anything thats because there is nothing to actually do.

Andrew turned things round his end within the day and pushed things back onto others which took days and days to get completed. He worked with a very difficult seller's solicitor who had poor communication and a seller's estate agent who kept adding pressure when there was nothing we could do due to the seller's solicitor.

He was more than willing to get on the phone with the lender to knock all the issues out and dealt well with their questions even when they were duplicates of already answered questions. He also dealt amazingly well with us as clients, I can imagine I was an irritating client wanting things to progress every day and he never failed to deal with us professionally.

We are going to be selling our current house shortly and will 100% request that Andrew handle it.

Good experience with Ashtons, specifically Andrew Skuse

5

We were First Time Buyers for a rather complicated sale, which completed in February. Ashtons, and specifically Andrew Skuse, dealt with the entire buying process in a professional, approachable and efficient manner, including jumping on multiple personal phone calls when the sellers created sudden deadlines and we needed additional urgent support. We would recommend their services.

Continuous support beyond the expected

5

We were recommended Ashtons Legal by our parents in law. We were lucky enough to have Andrew Skuse working with us on our first property purchase, which has been nothing but a pleasure. Despite the busy time of year, Andrew was nothing but attentive and supportive throughout our journey and was able to call us to talk through documentation and explain what was going on in accessible terms. Not only this but Andrew supported beyond the required, for example enabling us to liaise with Surveyors and estate agents to avoid confusion or delay. He was prompt and so was every aspect of the service, and always available even outside of hours to answer our queries and alleviate concerns as the completion date drew closer. Many thanks and would highly recommend.

We instructed Ashtons Legal to act on our first house purchase. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team (Janine, Kirsten and Andrew) for your help. I found the service provided thorough, professional and most importantly consistent. Being a first time buyer, I felt I could ask any queries, the communication was fantastic. The whole process was made as simple and easy as possible. Excellent service throughout, we would highly recommend *****!
