I had an excellent experience with EJ Winter and Son LLP when purchasing my property earlier this year. Buying a home is naturally a stressful process, but their communication throughout was outstanding and gave me real peace of mind. I always felt reassured that I was being kept up to date with progress every step of the way. A special thank you to Lottie Haslam, who was incredibly responsive, professional and supportive throughout the transaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend EJ Winter and Son LLP to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative team of solicitors.

Recently had a great experience with selling a property through the E J Winter & Son conveyancing team. Lottie and the team worked expeditiously to complete the sale, with prompt communications and updates. No hanging about wondering what was happening and they kept on top of the other parties to keep things moving along. Was very impressed. Would certainly recommend them!

We used E J Winter to sell one property and purchase another. They were brilliant throughout the process. Always responsive, chasing third parties before we'd asked them to, and turning enquiries around very quickly. It was brilliant (and very refreshing!) to be the ones who were chasing up others in the chain rather than being chased ourselves! Thank you to Lottie, Nicky and Cheryl for all of your hard work and help.

As a business we have been using the services of E J Winter for at least the last 10 years and for the purchase and sale of over 40 properties. Cheryl Brabon and the whole E J Winter team have been brilliant throughout with clear professional communication, regular updates on timelines and great all round customer focus. I would not choose to take my business anywhere else and highly recommend their conveyancing to others.

This was my First Experience of Using EJ Winter and Sons, and it was fantastic. Having dealt with Lottie for both my sale and Purchase the whole process was handled professionally and in a timely manner. Shared ownership is renowned for being challenging in the sale process and Lottie handled it admirably, keeping me in the loop throughout the process. I would be happy to recommend them, and will definitely be using them in the future!

My partner and I are first time buyers and the team at E J Winter & son have been phenomenal. They made the process very easy and straightforward. They always explained every part of the process thoroughly and were happy to answer all of our questions. I'd like to send a big thank you to the team for all they have done for us!

We have recently exchanged contracts on the sale and purchase of property through E J Winter & Son. We were recommended to use them by our estate agent (Warminghams) who said that they were efficient. Lottie Haslam has been our contact at E J Winter & son and has been very professional and answered our constant barrage of questions very promptly. She has kept us fully informed at all points along the process, keeping our stress levels to a minimum. We would thoroughly recommend the firm and Lottie to anyone needing a solicitor for conveyancing purposes.
