Bought my first home with Andrea and Natalie- the two ladies that run this place are bloody brilliant. Natalie works as the legal admin and has incredible customer service and a brilliant memory! Andrea is thorough, stays in touch and extremely reasonable in price. She made sure nothing was overlooked, as I was buying a leasehold house this was super important, she also emailed me with regular updates. Andrea was fast and knowledgable. I will 100% use her again! I found her off google reviews and I am so so glad I went with her.

Andrea was recommended to me nearly 8 years ago when I used her for my purchase. She took me from offer to completion in just 4 weeks which was really impressive. I did not hesitate to instruct her again for a sale of the same property last month and she once again did not disappoint. I have recommended her to numerous friends and truly appreciate her efficient handling of transactions.

We've bought and sold a few houses over the years and tried various solicitors. Andrea at E&K solicitors was a breath of fresh air. She was both efficient and very diligent in her work. Her replies to emails would be within minutes. She would explain the whole house buying process in plain and simple English and outlined all potential options at each point. With other solicitors in the past we have found ourselves always chasing for updates and not hearing anything for weeks etc, but with E&K we never had to chase to find out what was happening as she was so efficient with giving updates regularly

Andrea was recommended to us through friends who had been impressed with her professionalism. We were impressed as well - Andrea outlined all possible risks at all stages in a concise and friendly manner as we went about purchasing our first house. We would gladly recommend E&K Solicitors.
