Outstanding support for conveyancing
I'm writing this review, unusually, to give a bit of praise to the team who helped us through our property sale and purchase.
I picked Kavitha Rajah from the Law Society website and wanted a firm that had a physical presence locally. Both of these decisions paid off. Our costs were a little higher than originally anticipated but this is definitely a case of "you get what you pay for."
Our transaction was protracted and became extremely stressful, due to delays by others in the sale and purchase chain, but Kavitha Rajah and her team were always on hand to respond and support. Indeed, she went over and above her legal responsibilities with reassuring emails even at the weekend. Her personal care and attention were very much appreciated.
II would recommend Kavitha to anyone looking for a local conveyancing solicitor.

Timely, responsive service
I can highly recommend Kavitha and her team based on my experience. They were responsive and kept the communication alive throughout the process which made it easier to follow. Made the huge difference to the process. Thank you.

Sale and Purchase of Property
The whole team at J&P have always been wonderful and I’ve always used them in sales / purchases of properties - I wouldn’t use anyone else and recommend them to everyone.
What should have been a straightforward purchase ended up being stressful and extremely time consuming (not for my purchase) but the team were ready to answer any queries from other solicitors in order not to hold up the process further, contactable and patient with all my questions!

Completion of buy and sell of residential properties
The whole team at J&P have done a fantastic job helping us with the completion of our sale and purchase of our next property. As we were also acting as landlords in our old property this added a layer of complexity and James and Kavitha both provided a great service helping us to progress issues quickly.

Moved heaven and earth to get completed on time!
Kavitha and her paralegals Susana and Hayley were incredibly supportive, communicative, thorough and prompt in helping me get the house purchase completed on time - can't praise them enough.

High quality conveyancing
We chose Judge & Priestley to deal with the sale of my late mother's flat. From first to last we received impressive, friendly and high quality support from Kavitha Rajah and her team. James Pullen was our main point of contact and he offered first class communication throughout. We had a very good experience.

The best team we could ask for
This is the second time we have used Kavitha and her team, first time buyers to now, second time buyers and sellers!
We cannot fault the service we have received. Kavitha and her team are honestly amazing. Heather setting up our file, Hayley dealt with the completion so quickly and Susana sorted out the proof of funds so we could collect our new keys. We are unbelievably grateful for everything you have all done for us, not been the most straightforward purchase and sale but you guys worked your magic and always gave us the right advice and knew what to say to keep us calm! Thank you all endlessly and we wish you all the best! Who knows, may be back to see you one day again!!!!

Excellent service & prompt responses
I was recommended to use Judge & Priestley by my mortgage advisor for my first property purchase. Never having gone through the process before, I wanted to make sure I had a competent and trustworthy solicitor. From the very start, Kavitha and her team walked me through the conveyancing process and what to expect. Documentation was sent over to me quickly and my queries were always responded to promptly. I ended up not having a smooth buying process due to issues down the chain, but James in particular, was extremely patient and understanding. I always felt supported in my decisions. He worked tirelessly to reassure me when needed and to make sure that things were moving forward where possible.
Really can't thank you guys enough for making the last 3 months in particular more bearable and for not showing any frustrations that you undoubtably must have felt at times.
Thank you!!

Kavitha & team are brilliant
Recently bought and sold with Kavitha and the service was excellent. She was always there for a phone call to answer any questions, and with vendors' solicitor (who was achingly slow), she was determined and persistent in her communications. I genuinely believe we wouldn't have got everything completed on time if it wasn't for her and her wonderful team – thoroughly recommend!
