Good All Round Service

We needed to alter our existing Wills and chose Ames Kent because they are local. The advice and service we received was clear and accurate and the staff pleasant and easy to deal with. Good value for money and we would recommend them to anybody.

selling my house after 2 years of anxiety

Caroline was completely focussed on the task. Totally different from a previous experience with a different firm of solicitors two years ago. Conveyancing is clearly her expertise.

Outstanding solicitors

From the get go I knew myself to be in trustworthy and experienced hands, Caroline went above and beyond throughout the at times rocky process of selling my house. I could not have wished for a more professional and kind solicitor throughout this process and would recommend her and Ames and Kent to anyone looking for a first class service. Thank you
