What are the ESTAS?

The ESTAS (Estate Agent of the Year Awards) are a UK-wide awards programme celebrating outstanding customer service in the property and legal sectors. What sets the ESTAS apart is that the awards are entirely based on client feedback. Every rating and review comes directly from the people who have used our services, making the accolade uniquely meaningful.

“Sidraa at Winston Solicitors was fantastic! Quick to respond, maintained regular contact and frequently updated us on progress. She also provided advice on how to navigate certain challenges in the process and explained issues in detail so we were clear on matters. All in all a brilliant experience and we’ll be using Winston Solicitors again. Thank you!” -David, Cheshire

Winning an ESTAS award demonstrates that our clients value not only our expertise, but also the way we communicate, support, and guide them through often complex legal matters.

Best in County and Best in Postcode

Winning Best in County for Yorkshire recognises Winston Solicitors as one of the top-performing firms in the region. This award highlights consistent, high-quality service and client satisfaction across all areas of legal work.

The Best in Postcode award is even more localised, celebrating outstanding service within specific communities. Receiving this accolade means our clients in Leeds and the surrounding areas recognise the exceptional level of support we provide, reinforcing our position as a trusted and reliable firm in the heart of Yorkshire.

“I could not have asked for a better solicitor to help me through the process of buying my first house. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was so simple, clear and thorough. Incredibly professional and organised from start to finish. Winston Solicitors have made what could have been a very daunting and difficult process as smooth as it could have been and I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Leasa and team!” - Peter, Oldham

Together, these awards show how committed we are to delivering excellence at both a regional, county and local level, ensuring every client receives a tailored, attentive service.

Client feedback

Very happy with the Conveyancing service. Never struggled to get in contact with either Sam or Joe, always responsive and helpful. Excellent at keeping me updated, I have used Winstons before, and I would again!

Ian

It was a pleasure to sell our property through Winston’s Solicitors, Joe Bright was thoroughly professional throughout the whole process. I will definitely use Joe and Winston’s again.

Marcus

I would highly recommend Leasa. She was excellent throughout and had the patience to answer my questions and settle my worries as a first time buyer. I ended up pulling out of my first property but then buying a second instead and Leasa was very good at getting things sorted in a timely manner. She was very efficient and the online portal they used to keep me updated was excellent. I found they would always reply within 24-48 hours and I was also able to speak to Leasa directly when I had some concerns and wanted some advice. 10/10 service. Thank you so much to Leasa and the rest of the team too for helping me with my purchase and making it as least stressful as possible.

Ramendra

Samantha has been brilliant from start to finish. She has kept me updated throughout, and made the process as hassle free as possible for me as a first time buyer.

Jack

Excellent conveyancing service from start to finish. Amr Elshorbagy at Winston Solicitors handled both our sale and purchase with professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication throughout. As overseas clients, we particularly appreciated how well Amr managed communication across time zones—keeping us fully informed, responding promptly, and explaining everything clearly at every stage. He made what can be a stressful process feel straightforward and well controlled. We felt fully supported throughout and would highly recommend Amr to anyone buying or selling a property.
