A great help

We have dealt with your Moordown office for a number of years over our wills and we have found the same professional approach with the Winton office over our property sale. We were very impressed with your speedy help over the customer portal issue and the way you Kirsty and the team dealt with the short time you had over completion. Everybody had a friendly approach, and this made any issue easy to deal with. So, all went well, and we would have no hesitation in recommending the firm to anybody else. Thanks to you Kirsty and the team for all your help.

It was a long hard slog of 11 months for me but most of it was the freeholder and his solicitor.

Faultless Service

Louise Burn and Valerie Buckley have been very efficient and proficient in handling the sale of a flat for which I was acting as attorney from some distance. Louise and Valerie promptly dealt with potential problem issues, both being readily approachable, listening carefully and responding with considered and helpful explanations and action which has resulted in a most timely completion of the whole sale process. We are delighted that they have been able to bring it all to completion at a time of exceptionally increased workload due to many demands related to the approaching stamp duty changes, even though we were not affected by those changes.

Excellent service again

This will be the third time we’ve used Owen & Aldridge Brownlee for conveyancing services & once again we were very happy with the overall service.
His communication & responses are clear, he progresses items in a timely manner & his pricing is transparent, honest & great value for money. There are no surprises & he is able to explain difficult items clearly & in a way that is easy to understand.

We had an excellent experience..

We had an excellent experience working with Louise Burn when purchasing our new home/ selling our old home. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, thorough, and attentive to every detail. Louise took the time to explain the legal aspects of the process in a clear and understandable way, ensuring we felt confident and informed at each step. Her communication was prompt, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed on time. We truly appreciated her guidance and support during what can be a stressful time. Thanks to Louise, the entire process was much smoother than we anticipated. We would highly recommend Louise Burn at Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors to anyone in need of a reliable, dedicated solicitor.

The third time we have used Sarah at the Aldridge Brownlee Winton office and yet again we couldn't have asked for anything more.

No matter how many times the goal changes, as is often the case with house moves, Sarah was always on hand to help quickly and efficiently. We would always happily recommend to any of our friends and family and will certainly be contacting her again for any future property cases

Thanks again!

We have used Aldridge Brownlee (Winton) a couple of times for support with amending deeds and also the purchase of a property and they have always been outstanding in their work! Lee Hooper has been our solicitor both times and he has been fantastic to work with, very down to earth and reliable. But all staff here are friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this service and will definitely be using them again.

My experience with Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors was outstanding. I live in California and Aldridge Brownlee did an amazing job of handling the conveyance of my sisters property. Even when we hit a couple of
Bumps in the road they were quickly sorted. I would highly recommend this law firm. I would like to add a huge shout out to Sarah Louise Course who is spectacular at communicating. Sarah wasted no time in getting back to me. I’m not the most patient person so Sarah is definitely a must if you expect a streamline experience. Samantha Skinner

Highly recommended. Lee was amazing, as was everyone else here.
Cannot stress enough how much better it is having a decent conveyancer when moving.
