Me and my partner used Winston Solicitors for the purchase of our first house. The service from our solicitor, Sidraa, was excellent from start to finish. Not only was Sidraa friendly and helpful, she was able to answer any queries that we had, as well as providing regular updates on our purchase. When any issues during the process came up, they were handled brilliantly, helping to reduce the stress of buying our first house. I would recommend them 100%!

Sidraa was very helpful throughout our purchase. She was responsive and dealt with some unexpected problems that came up during the process in a professional and effective manner. Quote was competitive and accurate and we'd be happy to use Winston Solicitors again and to recommend them to our friends.

Leasa. Leasa. Leasa. We used Leasa for our conveyancing. I have never purchased a home before and we called around for many quotes. They were all around the same price and so we went for the ones we liked the reviews on which was Winston Solicitors. My husband and I were appointed Leasa and she exceeded our expectations(based of reviews). Leasa is excellent! fast at replying to email and explains everything in detail so we are able to fully understand the process.
When speaking on the phone, Leasa is super enthusiastic and makes buying your first home even more exciting. We didn't feel as stressed as we thought we would be and that is down to Leasa. Leasas enthusiasm is exactly what you want when buying a home and she doesn't make you feel like you are just a client. Nothing is too much for her. Leasas assistant Julie was also lovely when speaking to her.
Would I reccomend Winston Solicitors? YES I WOULD! Would i reccomend Leasa Foster? ABSOLUTELY 1000%. Winston Solicitors use an online platform so you can track the stages you are at, which was great and reassuring. Especially when you see the % going up and up to almost 100% thats when it becomes very real. Bit of advice. If you do end up going with Leasa and feel anxious about anything, give call her! she will soon put your mind to rest with her bubbly personality, her level of knowledge and her very understandable explanations. I hope this review helps someone. My experience has only been with Leasa and her assistants, however I am sure they are all fantastic.

I used Winston's for the first time for a house purchase. The service from Samantha was absolutely outstanding from start to finish; enquiries were dealt with promptly, we were kept informed of progress etc - it was reassuring to know that we had someone of this calibre on our side I would certainly recommend them.

Could not recommend Winston Solicitors more. Sidraa was amazing throughout the whole process. Any of her required tasks were actioned within a day or so of request. She was also very supportive and accommodating through a relative complex/long winded process due to circumstances. I will 100% use their services again.

Great conveyancing law firm! Had Sidraa as my Conveyancer and she was brilliant. Going above and beyond all the time to resolve my issues and reassure my queries - sometimes going so far as to reply on a weekend - even after "normal" working hours. Absolutely amazing - completely reliable and knew once I engaged her services, that all work would be sorted within weeks, as it was and always willing to offer advice on all aspects of my house purchase. Been an absolute rock - and so happy I engaged her services and will definitely be a customer again in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We had a great experience with Winston Solicitors, Sidraa was our solicitor and she really went above and beyond to get both our sale and purchase through as quick as possible and in time for Christmas! She worked incredibly hard, was always contactable and made the whole process really easy. Thank you!

Very impressed with Winston solicitors, we started the sale during lockdown and initially paused things due to the lockdown but started up again when lockdown was eased. Having used several solicitors for conveyancing I did a lot of research and spoke to Sidraa before I chose her. She was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Sidraa was excellent throughout the process.
She kept us informed regularly, and would continually update us on the process (which was refreshing as with our previous house purchase we had to keep chasing the conveyancer). Even though all our responses came back much later then we all hoped (due to the managing company taking a while to reply) Sidraa managed to stick to our original completion date.
She picked up points in the contract which we were glad she questioned and was able to amend. A real asset to her team, made the whole purchase a lot smoother. Would recommend.

Very highly recommended for house conveyance.
Leasa is an excellent, attentive and explains the process/ any issues very clearly. Very knowledgeable and looked after our best interests when a few title issues arose. Very quick to respond to queries and I have already recommended to 3 other people who are using her.

Whilst not the cheapest, when searching for quotes for conveyancing, Leasa gave the best impression of being on the ball, confident and knowledgeable and she proved to be just that. It was a slow process getting started on our purchase but as things picked up pace she was proactive, quick to react to updates, and got things moving quickly to meet what proved to be a big rush to complete at the end. Everything was in place when we needed it to be, she was professional and got the job done.

I have no hesitation in recommending Lakhvinder Lakhanpal to any future clients wishing to bring a claim. I brought a claim for Sexual Abuse and Lakhvinder guided me and helped me every step of the way. Lakhvinder kept me appraised of my claim by phone and email. I will use Winstons again definately.

The service is amazing. Sidraa is helping me get an Islamic divorce. A process that can be very complicated and lengthy but Sidraa has been amazing and has made the process very simple while explaining every next step. I couldn’t have gone with a better solicitor that not understands her clients but builds a friendly relationship. Thank you so much
