Latest Customer Testimonials

Very satisfied with the service it is refreshing in this day and age to come across a company that is efficient and cares about their clients.

Ms W – PI – April 2026

“I’d like to thank Sarah and Chloe of the Kundert team for their legal help and support throughout the immensely sensitive situation I was involved with. Also I’d like to thank the barrister appointed by Kundert Solicitors for his representation in court.  From the very first meeting Sarah reassured me the matter was in the best possible hands, and she didn’t disappoint throughout the process, her professionalism handling the case has been second to none, while retaining a friendly approach. The best possible outcome was made thanks to the hard work of the entire team and I simply can’t thank you enough for that.

Coventry – Public Law Family Client – August 2025

We had two property sales and our own house purchase completed by Perminder at Kunderts recently. She went to a lot of trouble to make our sales/purchase as easy as possible.

Any issues found during the conveyancing were dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Was a pleasure to deal with Kunderts, as it has been over the years. So we will be back if we need legal support again in the future.

Rugby – Conveyancing Client – April 2025

I used Kundert for the conveyancing for the purchase of my first property and was provided with an excellent service from Perminder and Bev, I’m very grateful! Very professional all throughout. They were very proactive with chasing my bank for updates and always on the ball. I was pleasantly surprised because at the beginning of the process, I had heard from a couple of people that I would likely be experiencing delays with Kundert so initially I was hesitant to use them. However I did not find this to be the case at all and cannot identify any date where was a delay on their part. Perminder and Bev were always available and ready to help via email and over the phone. I really appreciate their help and fully recommend their services to anybody requiring a fantastic conveyancing service!

Rugby – Conveyancing Client – April 2025

I cannot begin to thank my legal representative, Louise, enough for everything she has done for me throughout my family court case. From the very beginning, she showed unwavering dedication, thoroughness, and a genuine passion for helping me through an incredibly difficult time.

Louise gave so much of her time, always ensuring every detail was handled with care and precision. What stood out the most was how she never treated my case as just another job—she truly cared, and that meant the world to me. Her professionalism, compassion, and commitment went above and beyond anything I expected.

This wasn’t just legal support—it felt like someone was truly in my corner, fighting with me every step of the way. I honestly couldn’t recommend Louise enough.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Coventry – Private Law Family Client – April 2025

I’ve been supported by Kundert solicitors for around 7 months and I was very much supported in every step of the way! My paralegal Chloe went above and beyond and I could not thank her enough. Very professional, polite, easy to talk to, honest and HARD WORKING. I would highly recommend this company to support you through your journey! Easy to reach and happy to explain and they will fight your corner until the end and be by your side every step of the way. Hardest journey I’ve been on and having Kundert solicitors by my side and how they treated me with respect dignity and communication I could not of done it without them. If I wasn’t happy with anything or did not understand they were greatly on the ball to respond and resolve and explain when needed. 5 * 100%

Excellent, thankyou very much for all your help. I’ll obviously leave a top review on the survey. You put both mine and my mums mind at ease from the onset.

Rugby – PI Client – March 2025

We have had the benefit and pleasure of working with Kundert Solicitors and specifically Andrea Ward (Partner & Head of Conveyancing), for over eight years. During this time, Andrea has assisted us with several matters, including the buying and selling of our first home, which had an unusual and challenging title, and the purchase of our new home.

Andrea’s approach is exemplary. She is pragmatic, level-headed, and straightforward in her dealings.

What sets her apart is her ability to explain complex matters in simple, clear English, making intricate aspects of conveyancing easy to grasp.

Buying and selling property can be a stressful experience, but Kundert’s makes it manageable.

Their professionalism, combined with the friendly, approachable, and proactive service provided by the team ensure every detail is handled effectively.

We also found their services to be exceptional value for money given their willingness to go the extra mile.

If you’re looking for solicitors who will get the job done efficiently, effectively, and with a personal touch, we strongly recommend Andrea Ward and her team at Kundert Solicitors.
