Welcome to Collins Solicitors in Watford. When I founded the firm in early 1995, it was with a commitment to create a top level professional legal resource which at the same time extended warmth, friendliness and ease of communication (no legalese spoken here!). I wanted to ensure we could provide a listening ear, a professional shoulder to lean on and a voice to speak up for you in situations when you couldn’t. Come and talk to us and see if I’ve succeeded.

Satisfied client

Jay worked with us on the sale of a leasehold property. We found him to be extremely responsive, which was very helpful as we are located overseas. We were very satisfied with his professional and personal manner and would recommend him.

Conveyancing with Collins Solicitors

Susan was great throughout the whole process. She was excellent and clear in the information that she provided us with and with the answers to any questions we had a long the way. She was quick and thorough, and was constantly chasing the chain and providing us with updates.
I will definitely use again in the future and recommend Collins Solicitors, and Susan, to anyone who needs a conveyancing solicitor.

I would just like to thank Tara Dischamps and Jay Asghar for the excellent service they provided to me and my husband in the sale and purchase of our properties. Their work made the whole process quick and seamless. We were provided with a personal and professional service so that we didn't have to worry about a thing, for which we are grateful.

Great risk free sale

This is the second time Jay has helped me with a property sale. Jay did a fantastic job for both, but this was particularly important this time. The buyers were making a lot of requests that could have been risky, but Jays advice was invaluable and the sale went through risk free. Thank you Jay

Going through a divorce was unpleasant but Danielle and Margaret were very supportive. They allowed me to ask questions, clarified my options and they kept me informed. They definitely put me at ease during a difficult period.
