I am writing this review to wholeheartedly recommend Astwood Law, and specific Nishad Akram and her team. Finding a law firm that truly provides exceptional service can be rare, and I am incredibly happy to have discovered Astwood Law. We need more firms like yours! Having previously used Astwood Law, I can personally attest to the dedication and hard work they consistently demonstrate. I have never encountered a team so prompt, passionate, and determined to deliver outstanding service to their clients. Astwood Law stands out for being concise, honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. Their eye for detail and great attention to detail are truly impressive. Nishad Akram, in particular, takes immense pride in her work and approaches every case with incredible diligence and expertise. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to excellence. I strongly feel that I have found not only the best law firm but also a friend for life in Nishad and her team. Thank you! 🤩,

Thank you Nishad from myself and my family for guiding us through what turned out to be a more complicated property sale than first envisaged which, with your guidance and expertise culminated in a more comprehensive result for us.

Excellent Personal Service & advice

My family instructed Astwood Law to deal with our difficult probate and Mr Laird and his team were professional, kind and went above and beyond all expectations. Thank you for your attention and services

A Greatly Refreshing and Reassuring Experience “I am delighted to write the review about Astwood Law. One normally is quite apprehensive in dealing with law firms, but Nishad Akram put my mind at rest straight away with her caring, sympathetic and positive attitude and was ready and willing to be contacted at any time and happy to answer any queries, however trivial. It was a greatly refreshing and reassuring experience. She was able to remove any anxiety and stress normally felt in dealing with legal matters. Her secretarial staff was also extremely helpful and pleasant. I am absolutely delighted to recommend her services to all my friends without any hesitation whatsoever and wish her well in continuing her good work.

Prompt professional service, Highly Recommend.

"Approachable, friendly firm. Good value for money - cheaper than several other firms but service first class"

"The Service we received from Bruce Laird and his staff was excellent. We were kept informed on progress. Astwood Law are very approachable and explain things in laymans language. It was all therefore very straightforward."

You could not ask for better, thank you to Mr B Laird and Jane."

"Five-star review:- We have just used Astwood Law to complete a Transfer of Equity. In what were stressful circumstances I found Nishad extremely helpful, she took time to talk things through over the phone and meeting with her helped to reassure me that everything was in hand. Nothing was too much trouble, I felt able to call her for advice, she was always happy to speak over the phone or to call me back if unavailable. We received email updates and phone calls in the lead up to and on completion. Anisa was also very helpful. The team there certainly made a stressful situation more bearable and I will definitely use Astwood Law again in the future."

We used Astwood Law for the second time to complete property sale & purchase and completed this week. Highly recommended as always. Nothing was ever too much even on a short turnaround due to being heavily pregnant, Nishad & the team was confident and pushed through each milestone with us. Also always friendly attitude whether you went into the office or phone call. Thank you to you all.

We recently used Astwood Law Solicitors for the conveyancing of a commercial property in our SIPP, and the service was fantastic. Their expertise and dedication were evident throughout the process, but what truly stood out was their passion and determination to get the deal over the line. Communication was excellent, and they navigated every challenge with professionalism and efficiency. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive legal team.

Nishad, was absolutely brilliant. Our sale should have been really simple, but our buyers solicitor were a nightmare. Nishad was professional and guided me through everything that was need. Couldn't recommend more

Lovely staff. Assisted us very well. We are all pleased. We would happily use this firm again. Thank you.

Friendly, efficient, helpful, great communicator. All words I would use to describe Annie who dealt with our house sale. Nothing was too much trouble. Therefore I would happily use this firm again and would recommend them to anyone requiring legal services.

UPDATE on my review under: We have finally finished the process of selling my Mum's bungalow, following her earlier purchse in a Retirement Village. We had a previous buyer drop out at the last minute.... but we have now had a seamless sale with Nishad and her amazing helpers pushing it across the line. Through the whole process Nishad has been on the end of the phone answering queries promptly and doing a fantastic job. I recommend this lovely little practice to you unreservedly. Previously on an earlier episode!.... My Mum recently bought a flat in a Retirement Village - Nishad and Annie very kindly looked after the conveyancing - it was really complex and frustrating for us all as there were 2 other sets of solicitors involved in the process! We couldn't have had a better experience - my word were they are on the ball! The advice, hand-holding and attention to detail was outstanding - and all done with a smile and a positivity which I believe is hard to find these days. Cannot thank them enough - we came to the Conveyancing through their partner, Bruce Laird, who looked after all of Mum's Power of Attorney paperwork and her Will - such a lovely man, who was sensitive and helpful in every way - they really are a One Stop Shop and it is nice to know that all matters legal are under one roof. Felt we really got to know all the staff and they had our backs all the way.

Nishad and Annie were great handling our house sale. Were sensitive to our situation and I felt really had our backs and cared. Always happy to answer questions and call back if they needed to. Would highly recommend

I saw Ms Akram this week to help me with an identity check. She was lovely. The check ended up taking much longer and being much more complex than we expected. It was supposed to take 5 minutes and took an hour. She was extremely patient as we worked through it and was very helpful. She was very tolerant of my kids getting bored and impatient. My little one was able to use the toilets. The other staff were kind and helpful too. A1 service, really nice people.

We have used Astwood Law for the drawing up of our wills and recently for the sale of our house. We have received excellent service from both Bruce Laird and Nishad Akram. They and their colleagues are very friendly, professional, efficient and communicative. We will continue to use their services and highly recommend them. KP

I used Astwood Law for my recent property purchase. I can't speak highly enough of Nishad Akram who handled the whole process incredibly smoothly and I completed in 6 weeks. I would highly recommend contacting Nishad for all your legal requirements. Absolulety brilliant!

My husband and I are extremely grateful to Nishad; she provided us with fantastic counsel and support throughout the whole house sale / buy process which is extremely stressful. We couldn’t recommend Astwood Law more - brilliant team, bravo!

If you want to buy a property and have the transaction made as pain free as possible, with excellent communication, a professional approach, but yet friendly and caring then I 100% recommend Astwood Law. Nishad was very easy to talk to and kept me informed every step of the way throughout the process. She replied to my queries in a timely fashion and went above and beyond what you would expect. Thank you very much Astwood Law

Astwood Law did an amazing job with the sale of our house and purchase of new property, Nishad kept us informed constantly and was chasing our buyers solicitors to ensure the sale went through on time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Astwood Law to family and friends and will certainly be using them again! The benefits of having a local, friendly and reliable solicitor when selling or buying your home is huge.

We were very pleased that we chose to use Astwood Law. The solicitor who managed our case was always extremely helpful, patient and willing to assist us with some complicated aspects of probate and dispersal of my mother's estate. We also felt very comfortable dealing with Astwood Law and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Being a company that rents out both commercial and residential properties we need to get things right. Nishad Akram in charge of commercial at Astwood Law completed a lease for us with professionalism, speed and was communicative. Her work ethic is first class. Although we moan about the charges solicitors make, we found Astwood Law to be very competitive. This was our first encounter with the company not liking the direction our previous one was heading and in this experience I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I have used astwood law over the years for 3 house moves and every time they have been great, they keep my expectations managed they keep me informed they come back to me. I’ve used other firms and they have been shocking! My last move Anisa looked after me supported by Nishad when needed they were great we had a few issues the other side but Anisa worked hard keeping me up to date with progress and making sure I understand what was needed at all stages.

My ex-partner and I sold our house and both bought new homes through Astwood Law & have had a Will created. I cannot say thank-you enough to everyone at Astwood Law, everything was made easy, they kept me informed at all times, got back to me immediately / within the hour for any call I made or email I sent and they are very well priced. Nishad, Anisa, Jane and Ian are all absolutely fantastic, cannot recommend them enough.

I recently purchased a property and used Astwood law for the conveyancing work, which was completed swiftly and pain free. The service provided by Nishad was also very professional and friendly. Would recommend and use again.

Ive used astwood law several times for property purchases / sales and legal documentation. I’ve always found Nishad and Bruce extremely professional and always approachable. Im always kept updated throughout and whenever a issue arise, as they often do, I’m contacted so we can resolve. Very competitive prices with a first class service.

My family and I have had an excellent experience recently using Astwood law for both conveyancing and probate. They were really efficient, professional, friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble. We are so grateful to have found such fantastic solicitors and will definitely be using in future. Thanks again for all your help Astwood Law, we will be recommending you to all!

I instructed Nishad Akram to deal with my conveyancing matter and received nothing short of a great service. The property purchase entailed a purchase from a receiver which brings its own pressure and stress on top of a standard purchase. However, Nishad was great at calming any nerves and liaised impeccably with the receiver’s solicitor to exchange & complete within 3 weeks. Nishad worked tirelessly to contact HMRC to establish the VAT position of the property which was no small feat and crucial to a swift completion. Nishad has been very approachable from the get go and did not fail to update me on the progress on a regular basis. She is extremely competitive on price and the service she offers is worth it’s weight in gold. She goes above and beyond and always puts the client needs first. I highly recommend using Nishad for any conveyancing matters.

Exceptional. Nishad Akram and her team were excellent. They were friendly, gave good advice, were accessible and made the process of buying our first home very smooth. We are very grateful to them and would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I have used Astwood Law a few times and I would highly recommend then. We have just compleated on a property purchase which had to go through this week. If it wasn't for Nishad this would not have happend. There were alot of difficulties with the land registry title and the banks lending criteria which was not helped by the solicitor on the other side not knowing how to resolve them. Nishad was amazing and sorted all the issues and chased the other side to make sure they were doing their job. One thing I really like about Astwood law is how open and transparent they are. I was copied into lots of emails so I always knew what was going on. If I had any questions I could pick up the phone or email and I would alway get a quick response. I beleive if you are spending your hard earned money on a house it is worth spending a bit extra and using a really good solicitor to protect your investment. That is why I would happily recommend Nishad and the team Astwood Law.

Astwood Law handled a tricky case for us beautifully. They were completely on the ball throughout without error unlike my previous solicitor who caused major problems with their carelessness. So yes I definitely recommend Astwood Law if you want an on the ball service with zero mistakes. Thank you Astwood Law.

Thank you so very much to Bruce, Nishad and everyone at Astwood Law for all their expert help and excellent service in dealing with my late mums estate. We will be recommending you to our family and friends.

Honestly the best service I have recived when I bought my house! The lawyers was so fast and cheaper than the oder providers. For the whole services I had to pay 1200 pound and they finished the paperwork in 2 weeks. Before I consulted with countrywide and they said 2500 pound for all paperwork plus 6 - 8 weeks. Great guys and also very friendly

Thank you Nishad for acting for us on behalf of the purchase of our commercial property. We was recommended you through Ben Truslove and the service we received was excellent. Your approach was very pragmatic and made the complicated purchase process very easy. I would highly recommend you to others.
