Superb service throughout

This was the first sale of a house I had completed and did not know where to start. This can be a stressful time for many I would imagine. I Called and booked an appointment with Lynne and after a sit down and discussion I knew I had nothing to worry about. Everything about the process was explained, if I needed help with some of the paperwork, which I did, any questions about what happens next etc Lynne, Laura or Isobel where only a phone call or email away to help me through it. I received regular updates regarding matters in hand and Nothing but honesty from the get go, no false promises, just told us how it was. The Sale completed successfully and would most definitely use Lynne and her team again. I would also highly recommend to anyone else.

Thanks

Friendly and Professional

Everyone we met were friendly and professional. Good advice was given on aspects of wills that we could do ourselves rather than upselling their services; that counted a lot in our eyes. Easy to deal with and a clear fixed price. Would use again for other services when required.

As solicitors acting on our behalf they were patient and fully understood how bamboozled and confusing it was to not only sell a house but having to deal with the death of my mother as well. Katie did a marvelous job and my thanks go to her.

A representative from Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 10 February, 2025:

Hi Andrew. Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how challenging it can be to navigate both a house sale and the loss of a loved one, and we’re glad Katie was able to provide the patience and support you needed during this difficult time. Your kind words mean a lot, and we truly appreciate your trust in us.

Couldn’t recommend June Shires & Aimee Mcallister at Freers Askew Bunting more. They have been nothing short of Amazing from start to finish dealing with a particularly difficult solicitor / firm in what should have been a relatively simple chain. But we got there in the end, all thanks to the work of June & Aimee. Great communication all the way. This is the second time I’ve used FAB for a sale & purchase and I’d have no hesitation using them again. Thank you!

Dear Rebecca, Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Freers Askew Bunting again.
