House sale and purchase

Thanks to Aimee for dealing with the sale of my house last year and purchase of a bungalow this year.
Nothing was too much bother for her and she was always available to answer queries and explain any legal terms.

Excellent Service

I have just completed on my house sale with the help of Freers Askew Buntings Hartlepool office. They have been great, Thank you to June Shires for getting me through to the finish line, after 2 sales fell through I was more than a little nervous and in the last few days emailed June constantly. She replied every tune with reassurance and updates which put my mind at ease. All staff have been polite, friendly, responded really quickly and acted professionally throughout, thanks to Aimee Mcallister too for the early stages.

Commercial Lease Transfers

From the outset, Freers Askew Bunting were very professional and helpful and certainly one of the most communicative law firms I've worked with. They're very efficient and kept me informed throughout the whole process. The job they took on for me involved coordinating and working with 4 others law firms/lawyers to get the deal done, and they took the lead in ensuring everyone did what they needed to do as quickly as possible. I will look no further in future, thoroughly recommended.

Brilliant!

Lynne, Isobel and the team were absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process of our sale and purchase!

They handled all our correspondence and enquires in a professional and friendly manner, and we felt very at ease contacting them for updates and questions.

Everything was done in a way so that they were prepared and ready for the next steps of the process, which really helped everything move quickly.

We couldn’t be happier with the service they provided.

Thank you to everyone at FAB for helping us move into our new family home!

Ltd Company House Purchase

I cannot thank the team at Freers Askew Bunting enough and especially June Shires! This has been the first time we have bought a house through a Ltd company and June has not only walked and talked us through the process but has been in constant communication updating us with progress. Fingers crossed, we will be looking at purchasing another property in the near future and with the experience we have had with June, we will be using Freers Askew Bunting again.

House Sale

We have never experienced a firm of solcitors that can produce a service like Freers, Askew & Bunting Solicitors, they are quite simply at the top of their game. The staff involved with us during our property sale, giving special mention to Lynne Robinson, were exceptional. Their dedication, customer approach, and their can do attitude made them an absolute pleasure to deal with, and they always got the job done. Having a conveyancing firm like Freers, Askew & Bunting looking after your interests just gave us piece of mind. They also provide you with the confidence that they can react professionally, ensuring a positive outcome to any given situation. Thank you.

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!
