Ali Masterton provided a wonderful service to me at a time when I was feeling very low over the death of my sister and I needed help in making a complaint about the NHS. As well as providing clear and appropriate professional advice, Ali was wonderfully kind and supportive throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Fantastic Service as always!
I have used Claire Beckett & Melissa Norman for many years now on more than 10 residential purchases and property sale matters.

Would recommend them to anyone from first time buyers to portfolio landlords.

Agricultural land for sale or development

Excellent service to a novice first time land buyer for a self build
I used Ollie to purchase an old agricultural barn with planning permission to convert to a home. This was a more complex purchase than anticipated due to boundaries, challenges with services, accessways etc but his knowledge and attention to detail was second to none and really took our future needs into consideration. Being new to purchasing land we had no idea what the right questions were to ask, but he anticipated our needs and acted as a real partner to us rather than just offering a service.
Whilst we were buying the land outright, we eventually needed to get a self build mortgage and he knew which elements a future lender would need to see and gave us great advice for the longer term too.
Ollie kept us informed right the way through and was very proactive, would highly recommend him (and Ashtons Legal) to anyone else going through a similar situation.
A representative from Ashtons Legal LLP responded to this review on 27 August, 2024:
Thank you for your review. We will pass this feedback on to Oliver.

After being recommended Ashton's by family who have used them previously. We did not hesitate in appointing Ashtons as our solicitor when purchasing our first home. Kate was always on hand for any queries we may of had, even if Kate wasn't in the office there would always be another member of staff to help.
They made the process simple and made us feel at ease.

Thank you very much for your five star review. We will share your feedback with Kate and the team.

As a retired solicitor I am probably the worst type of client! But I have to commend Tom Bailey for his excellent support, advice and most important result he achieved for us. John Chambers, who drafted my original agreement over 20 years ago gave excellent initial advice and then passed me to Tom to resolve the conflict that then came. I cannot thank Tom enough for his support and understanding and for achieving a successful outcome.
