The whole process was explained and ran extremely smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble to Andrew and his colleagues, even visiting the care home to complete some of the business and it was completed approximately 7-8 weeks before expected. Many thanks.

Andrew was extremely helpful in supporting my wife and I to produce our first will. Process was clear, simple and straightforward. The practice were very efficient, despite organising over the Christmas period.

We would recommend to others and will return should we need to in the future.

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.

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!
