Alice is a committed, knowledgeable, hard working solicitor who I cannot recommend more highly. Alice displays professionalism at all times but with a real personal touch. She regularly goes the extra mile for our business, always contactable out side of standard hours even while on holiday, nothing is too much trouble.

The Property Guardian industry is quite unique in many ways, Alice took the time to really get to know and understand our business and regular challenges we face both commercially and operationally to ensure she gives us great legal advice.

I would have no problem in recommending Alice to anyone.

Alice is a very knowledgeable lawyer who is always willing to help and make her self available. She is easily contactable and returns calls promptly. On the matters that we have already worked on together Alice has been proactive, prompt and efficient. Her advice is clear and is explained in a way it is well understood. I have no hesitation in recommending Alice to others.

Moving City

Property transactions are expensive, and stressful even if everything goes right, so knowing that we could trust our solicitor was invaluable. Alexy and Justina were brilliant: Fast and clear communication; I don't recall having to ask for anything more than once; when the other side wanted something Alexy and Justina made sure that we knew what our options were for responding. They explained jargon, asked questions to make sure they knew what we wanted and that we understood the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Client

Alexy Pemberton has represented the business with skill, care, and diligence in all our related commercial property matters. Alexy made the complexity of our most recent transaction very straightforward and easy to understand for us. She has proved herself to be valued advisor due to her attentiveness, ability, and pro-active nature. She’s friendly, personable, and easy to work with, we’d recommend her without reservation.

It’s such a pleasure to work with Rahima, her attention to detail is exceptional. Myself and my Foxtons team enjoy the support and assistance on each transaction. Her knowledge is exceptional and I would always trust her with any client of ours.

Charles

Rahima Islam is one of the best conveyancers I have worked with over the years as an estate agent. Great working relationship to use both of our skills to get the client through to exchange and completion. One of very few conveyancers that actually answers the phone, emails and keeps the agent in the loop so the sale proceeds smoothly. Can't recommend her enough!

It was my great pleasure to deal with you as a member of CDS. Every step of the way you guided me with high professionalism & human compassion. If I need a solicitor in future for any legal requirements I will always come back to you. I will recommend your firm to my friends & associates for any legal requirements & ask them to contact you.

Mr Hussain

Rahima was an incredibly supportive and diligent solicitor supporting me while buying my new home, she helped make the process easy to understand and helped it go through in record time. 

Mr Steanson

I had a fantastic experience working with CDS on purchasing my first property. With no prior experience in buying a property, CDS gave me a dedicated solicitor who was always available and took me through the entire process explaining every step. Rahima was a key factor in helping me nail down my first property.

I will definitely recommend.
