My clients
"Zahrah Aullybocus has been representing me in numerous transactions for over 10 years - yes I keep going back everytime - and I find her service level and performance outstanding. She is the only solicitor who you never have to worry about if she will call you back, or when she will call you back. Zahrah makes time for every transaction, every issue, every phone call, and keeps you up to date, even when nothing is happening. She knows exactly how an individual member of the public wants to be dealt with - and delivers. None of your pompous 'can't get hold of me I'm busy' nonsense from this brilliant solicitor."
"As a single first time buyer, the whole house buying process felt rather overwhelming at points. But from my first phone call with Zahrah, to the last, they have been excellent. Always provided updates and chased 3rd parties on my behalf. I felt Zahrah had my best interests at heart. Zahrah was constantly helpful, answered all my questions quickly, and was very knowledgeable. When I come to rent or sell my home, Zahrah will be the solicitor I will use."
"This is the third time we have used Zahrah Aullybocus for conveyancing on the sale and purchase of properties. She always lives up to expectation as a quick, efficient, and a great communicator. We particularly like her honest, down to earth approach which helps the process run smoothly without any major concerns. A great service, thank you."
"Zahrah Aullybocus was recommended to me on LinkedIn as I was looking for a specialist solicitor in shared ownership conveyancing. I knew from initially speaking with her that she would be the right person to help me with a transfer of ownership and buying the property outright. She was fantastic from start to finish. Her attention to detail was second to none, she's proactive and all her correspondence was very responsive and thorough. I simply cannot fault her. Thank you Zahrah! If you are looking for a shared ownership specialist, then look no further."
"Zahrah Aullybocus was our conveyancer for the sale of a probate property. It was a bit different than normal as we were selling and buying the same property but Zahrah made sure everything was correct and in order. The process was quick and as sensitive to the nature of the sale as possible. Would definitely recommend her!"
"Zahrah Aullybocus great, as per usual.
Have now used Zahrah Aullybocus for two purchases and a sell. I wouldn’t use anyone else. Always the very same professional, polite, prompt but honest service. Never a delay, always on the ball, and at a great price. Thank you again for a painless process where I felt updated, and in the know, throughout."
