We were so happy with the service provided by Judge & Priestly. Kavitha was extremely efficient and exceeded all of our expectations. She was always contactable and got back to us straight away. Would highly recommend!

Conveyancing services
We were supported in the acquisition of a residential property by Kavitha Rajah an her team and have no hesitation in recommending them based on the excellent service we had throughout the whole process . Our purchase of a new home was completed on time and exceeded our expectations for support and input. Kavitha and her team were timely, efficient, accurate and helpful in all communications. They proactively provided us with guidance and council in the process and acted upon our surveyors report to ask for clarifications and seek more information as needed. We found the whole buying process was much more manageable due to their support and partnership.

The very good, the not so good and the downright disappointing
Kavitha Rajah and her conveyancing team did a sterling job at conveyancing both the property we were selling and the property I eventually moved into.
They were very polite, extremely professional and always quick to respond.
During what was sometimes a stressful process, they were generally helpful in explaining where things were at and able to offer appropriate support in regard any issues or concerns that arose.
I would highly recommend them.
For the record, our family also used Judge and Priestley for the process of probate after our mother died and that experience (which in the context of bad advice that was given to me by the designated member of staff initially dealing with the process, who mysteriously disappeared before completion, and which ultimately lost me a considerable amount of money) brings up one simple word in big, bold capital letters - AVOID!!!)
I would like to make it clear that all of my input in the additional areas of this review in the context of information requested are in direct response to my experience with Kavitha Rajah and her conveyancing team and are not in any way related to the very stressful, difficult, drawn out and downright disappointing experience I had with Judge and Priestley’s probate solicitors.
I have given Judge and Priestley an overall score of 4 stars, but in all honesty, it’s 5 stars for Kavitha Rajah and her team and 1 for the probate solicitors.

Exceptional service
My property had been under offer twice before with buyers pulling out at the last minute. The solicitors i had previously used just didn't deal with enquiries quickly enough and when they did they didn't seem to have the legal experience to resolve issues. With my third buyer i changed to Kavitha and her team at Judge & Priestly who were world's apart in term of professionalism, efficiency and their legal expertise. Issues came up which i was not even aware of as Kavitha dealt with them quickly without bothering me. I can not thank Kavitha and her team enough for making the whole process stress free and seamless, always going the extra mile to get things through. No other solicitors compare.

Property Conveyancing
We recently used Judge & Priestley for our property transaction, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service I received. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Judge & Priestley to anyone needing reliable and trustworthy conveyancing services. First-class from start to finish!

House sale
Kavitha and the team were efficient, professional and very helpful during the whole process of our house sale. There were a few bumps along the way, from the other side, but the follow through from all at Judge Priestley was exemplary. Would highly recommend them and will most certainly be using them in the future.

Equity Release and Trust Management
Excellent - Kavitha Raja and her team were outstanding. Kavitha was handed my case by another firm of solicitors with barely any handover. Kavitha handled it amazingly. She went out of her way to help me and my aunt get back on track, going above and beyond her normal working hours and what was expected of her. Kavitha kept me updated the whole time and replied to enquiries within minutes most times. Kavitha and her team were put under a great deal of pressure as there was time commitments involved. I cannot explain how grateful I am to her and her team. I must mention Hayley Rawlinson too as she stepped in and stepped up when Kavitha was on annual leave. Brilliant. Just shows the professionalism within this firm. Hayley - you will go far! (Especially having Kavitha as your mentor) THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH.

Fantastic and human service
Kavitha and team are exemplars in legal property conveyancing. Having had a poor experience in a prior transaction, I found Kavitha, James (our designated solicitor) and the various paralegals and staff to be a breath of fresh air. They had great expertise and experience, proactively analysing any tricky subjects, responsive to emails (never had to chase and always had a response 1-2 times working days), available for a phone call if easier to chat, and overall a human service. I think I’m a pretty reasonable customer though I do drive pace and found Kavitha and team toe to toe. Price-wise, I found them to be competitive. Not the cheapest but far from most expensive.
My only even better if is that I would have preferred a digital solution for e-sign, document management and query tracking. It was a bit paper and email based. It wouldn’t put me off from using them again however I’d have happily paid for a platform license during the transaction.
Overall a great team and have recommended to others already
