Fantastic service.

I dealt with Clare for the purchase of my house and received a 5* service from start to finish. Clare kept me updated the entire time, explained everything thoroughly and ensured that the process went as smooth as possible. The thought of buying a house alone for the first time was pretty daunting however, thanks to Clare it’s felt really easy and stress free! Thank you!

I had many problems with buying a property, Probate issues, the seller, deciding not to sell and a purchase that was in a bad area.
Through all these problems James and Caroline were absolutely brilliant. I will be going back to this firm because I have other issues to sort. I would recommend anyone to use this company because they care and you are not just a number.

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.

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!

A representative from Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 19 February, 2024:

Dear Rebecca, Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Freers Askew Bunting again. We're delighted that June and Aimee provided you with amazing service and helped navigate through the challenges. We appreciate your trust and look forward to assisting you in the future if needed.
