Sale of property

First time using Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors, the whole experience of the legal aspect of selling our property has been made so easy by Diane. Her instructions to us regarding the completion of the documentation has been clear and concise. Diane has responded to emails and phone calls quickly, she has dealt with any queries professionally. We have been kept up to date with the progress of the sale.
I would definitely use this company again and would recommend to family and friends.

Fast and simple

Aimee was brilliant the whole way through our mortgage application. Considering this is our first mortgage, there were a lot of areas we were confused around and Aimee helped
explain these to us. If we had questions that weren’t relevant to legal aspects, Aimee provided us with support information. The whole process was really smooth and we were kept updated regularly.

Property purchase

We recently appointed the solicitors to purchase our new property and have been very pleased with service. First class service from quotation with Rebecca to purchase/completion with Katie. We appreciated the quick responses to our emails and phone calls. Even when our appointed solicitor was on leave our questions were answered promptly by another member of the team. Katie has been amazing and we would highly recommend ⭐️

Stress free

I haven’t sold a property in over 25 years and was worried about how stressful the process would be. I needn’t have worried as Diane was efficient and professional. She updated me at least weekly so I always knew exactly what was happening and if I needed to contact her she responded straightaway. She was very pro active and approachable. I would recommend Freers Askew Bunting to anyone.

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.

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.
