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!

Exceptional service
I recently had the pleasure of working with Judge and Priestley LLP, and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of service I received. From the very beginning, their communication was exemplary. They kept me informed at every stage, explaining complex legal terms in a way that was easy to understand, and always responded promptly to my queries.
Their professionalism was evident throughout the entire process. Kavitha, Mark and their team provided sound, well-considered advice. They handled my case with the utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring that everything was completed efficiently and to the highest standard.
I felt confident and reassured knowing that my legal matters were in such capable hands. Their combination of expertise and a friendly, approachable manner ensured I felt supported and fully informed throughout.
I highly recommend Judge and Priestly LLP to anyone seeking reliable, professional legal services.

Professional, Available & Friendly Approach
Judge and Priestley LLP helped me during the purchase of my home and a simultaneous remortgage. From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and commitment to ensuring a smooth process.
The solicitors were consistently friendly, approachable, and communicative. They were always available to answer my questions and provide clear guidance, which made navigating the complexities of both transactions much easier.
However, it’s worth noting that I occasionally found myself needing to follow up for updates. While this was likely due to their busy schedules, it’s an area that could benefit from a bit more proactive communication. That said, whenever I did reach out, they were quick to respond and address my concerns.
Overall, I am very pleased with the service provided by Judge and Priestley LLP. I would recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable and knowledgeable solicitors.

Simply the best!
Kavitha Rajah and her team helped with the conveyancing for our house sale. As a mortgage broker myself I deal with all the solicitors in the local area and beyond. None of these are as professional, diligent and efficient as Kavitha. Often my clients pick solicitors for speed and professionalism where they are promised a quick seamless process, to often this doesn't happen and the process drags out over months.
With Kavitha and her team this was NOT the case and they worked diligently, timely and responsive to get the sale through. I cannot recommend her and the team enough.
Many thanks
Del
