DOWNS SOLICITORS LLP

I cannot recommend Bill Rashbrook at Downs Solicitors highly enough.

Our sale involved an extremely complex issue with our freeholder that prevented us from exchanging contracts. My original solicitors were unable to deal with the complexities of amending the lease, and it looked as though the sale might not be able to proceed.

Bill took ownership of the matter from the outset and gave us complete confidence that it could be resolved. No problem was ever too big, and his professionalism, knowledge, and determination were outstanding throughout.

Behind the scenes, Bill worked tirelessly, coordinating with the freeholder, the freeholder's solicitors, my buyers' solicitors, my onward purchase solicitors, and the estate agents involved in both transactions. He kept everything moving forward, resolved issues as they arose, and ultimately achieved what others had been unable to do.

Without Bill's expertise and persistence, I genuinely don't believe our sale and purchase would have completed. He went above and beyond at every stage, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did.

I have had the pleasure of working with Bill for the past year throughout my first home purchase. Bill was absolutely fantastic the whole time, always providing regular updates without even asking, he was kind, thorough and always took the time to be clear and concise with all the information that comes along with buying a property, especially for a first time buyer like me it can be quite a lot to take in! I would highly recommend Bill to anyone and I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Bill Rashbrook and Natasja Knudsen were excellent throughout the sale of our house. Bill, lead solicitor, was quick to respond, calm and confident in his advice, and always solutions-focussed. Natasja clearly and ably guided us through the opening and closing parts of the transaction. I’d recommend them in an instant. And when the time comes to sell again, I wouldn’t hesitate in instructing them again.

We have recently used Downs Solicitors for our house purchase. Bill and Claire were incredibly responsive, helpful and detailed with all the communications and reports associated with the purchase. We are happy to have found our go-to solicitor in Godalming. Thank you for helping make our purchase that bit easier!

We engaged Downs solicitors to sell and purchase our current/new properties.
What can I say other than wow/amazing!
Yes we had a short chain luckily, we had first time buyers and we bought a vacant property with no forward chain but the whole thing was done in around 10 weeks from the moment of sale agreed to exchange!
Bill Rashbrook Was amazing! Very efficient and always on the ball, keeping us informed all the way whilst preparing for the next step in advance.
Claire Lacy, his legal assistant, was on to us immediately with all the required forms and payments to sign making the whole thing as easy and simple as it can be!
We cannot recommend this company and these two people highly enough!
Thanks again Bill/Claire you are amazing!
