Winston Solicitors have once again been recognised for delivering outstanding customer service to its clients, making the shortlist of The ESTAS - the biggest award scheme in the UK residential property industry. Winston Solicitors currently hold the Gold Winner Conveyancing award for West Yorkshire.

The ESTAS honours the best agents, conveyancers and mortgage advisors in the UK. The awards are powered by the ESTAS online customer review platform, which enables property professionals to demonstrate the customer service standards they deliver for their clients. ESTAS reviews can only be completed at the end of the property transaction and a strict verification process ensures reviews are genuine.  This year’s shortlist has been calculated following the evaluation of 60,000 client reviews.

The awards will be presented by the UK’s favourite property expert Phil Spencer. Spencer said: “The ESTAS Awards are based on real feedback, from real clients experiencing real service so they provide genuine proof of the service levels that a firm is delivering to clients. Now more than ever high quality customer service is crucial if home movers are going to realise their dream of getting the property they set their hearts on.” 

Jonathan Winston, managing partner at Winston Solicitors said “We are thrilled to be shortlisted once again. Customer service is paramount, being reviewed and recommended by our clients mean we stand by our motto – When Service Wins.

"Communication with Winston Solicitors was amazing we always felt they were given attention to our file. We felt relaxed knowing they were on the case and we happily let them proceed.  Never felt the need to chase. They were extremely good.  At what is always a stressful time they guided us through the process kindly, clearly but with speed.  Amazing."
 

Client feedback

I had an excellent experience with this firm during my property purchase and would not hesitate to recommend them.Throughout the process, the Solicitor and Conveyancing Assistant were highly professional and incredibly patient in responding to my many questions. They both supported me from start to finish, and I am extremely grateful for the care and reassurance they provided along the way.The office itself is welcoming, with friendly and helpful staff, and I particularly appreciated being able to meet in person when I needed clarity on which documents required signing. That personal touch made a potentially stressful process feel far more manageable.Their fees were very reasonable, and the online portal for tracking the progress of the purchase was extremely useful, especially the ability to upload documents securely and easily.Importantly, they identified a potential obstacle to the purchase and clearly advised on a practical route to resolution, which was ultimately successful. I will always be grateful for their diligence and expertise.I would absolutely use this firm again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, supportive, and professional conveyancing service.
