Fantastic service.

I dealt with Clare for the purchase of my house and received a 5* service from start to finish. Clare kept me updated the entire time, explained everything thoroughly and ensured that the process went as smooth as possible. The thought of buying a house alone for the first time was pretty daunting however, thanks to Clare it’s felt really easy and stress free! Thank you!

I had many problems with buying a property, Probate issues, the seller, deciding not to sell and a purchase that was in a bad area.
Through all these problems James and Caroline were absolutely brilliant. I will be going back to this firm because I have other issues to sort. I would recommend anyone to use this company because they care and you are not just a number.

Complete Failure In Every Way

If you would like your house sale to drag on, have no communication and not be told about criteria until the last minute putting the sale of your house on hold then, 5 stars would be given. But unfortunatley we don't want any of the above and it's a shame that you can't give minus stars. We have been waiting for days for callbacks that have been promised and nothing. Yes we chased them up nothing. Pigeon post would work a lot quicker than this outfit. Just hope the buyer understands and is willing to be patient.

Dear Dave, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that clear communication and timely updates are crucial during a sale. Your comments have been noted, and we will ensure they are passed along to the team involved. We appreciate your patience and hope the sale progresses smoothly from here. Sincerely, Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors Limited

Purchase of property

I would like to thank James, Julie, Caroline, and the rest of the team at Freers Askew Bunting for their fantastic help and support when purchasing my new home. They made what can be a very difficult process completely stress free and easy to understand. They were always available whenever I needed their help and were very friendly and approachable. They are a credit to their profession and I would certainly recommend them to others.

Diane Spurs of Freers Askew and Bunting Solicitors in Hartlepool made my first time house purchase so much easier than first anticipated. Diane communicated excellently with me throughout the process, and made me feel at ease, explaining things and being thorough within the process. Thanks again Diane, and I'd highly recommend Freers Askew and Bunting Solicitors.

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. We're delighted that June and Aimee provided you with amazing service and helped navigate through the challenges. We appreciate your trust and look forward to assisting you in the future if needed.
