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

Client feedback

High recommendations for Michelle Ayres from Winston Solicitors. She was always quick, on point and proactively solved an issue with incomplete title documentation. Her updates were always precise and response time was within hours. We are hugely grateful for the smooth sale and we hope more people discover and use Winston Solicitors!
Mr Stoyanov
Leasa at Winston’s was amazing when dealing with our first house purchase. She was so quick at replying to any queries we had and always chasing up the other side to make sure things were progressing. She made us feel reassured through the stress as she really knows her stuff. We couldn’t recommend Leasa enough! Thank you!
Demi
Excellent efficient service. Kept well informed throughout. Would use again. Good service is a rarity these days.
Andrew
Winston’s yet again have been fantastic, highly professional and I would highly recommend. The chart tracker is great so you can always see where you are with everything. Joe Rawnsley and Samantha Robertson Strong have gone above and beyond. Thanks so much to you both.
Sarah
My financial adviser had recommended Leasa Foster from Winston Solicitors to support on my purchase of a house as a first time buyer. She demonstrated professionalism throughout all our interactions whether it be verbally or via emails. She provided clear instructions and guidance throughout the different stages and steps of transaction. She was prompt in addressing any queries that I had raised and I felt well-equipped with the information I needed to make decisions throughout the process. I was kept up to date with the progress of the transaction constantly. She was pro-active in following up all other relevant parties to ensure that we complete the steps of the purchase in a timely manner. Furthermore, at a crucial point of the transaction when Leasa had been on leave, her colleague had readily taken over the transaction seamlessly to avoid any further delays. Overall, I would highly recommend Leasa and Winston Solicitors, in general, for conveyancing and property-related matters.

After researching solicitors & receiving a few recommendations we decided to go with Winston Solicitors, we used them to buy our first home & Michelle did a great job keeping us informed throughout the process, pushing for adjustments to deeds & helping with queries. We managed to complete on our property in 10 weeks from offer accepted thanks in large part to Michelle’s work. 5/5
