  • Shilpa really helped us take charge of the situation and helped resolve this property dispute. I would not hesitate to recommend her or the team to anyone in a similar situation.

    David A, Trustpilot Review

  • On first meeting Shilpa I was sure that she understood immediately my requirements, and was sympathetic both to my financial restraints and my emotional state. She achieved everything I asked of her and proved to be invaluable, professional and efficient

    P Ashcroft, Trustpilot Review

  • At every step Shilpa alleviated any concerns and stresses we had. Always fast to respond, always professional and super knowledgeable.

    Trustpilot review

  • Shilpa has helped us through some key property litigation matters (residential and commercial) since 2014 and has delivered on every occasion. One particular issue had kept us in a state of stress and tension for almost a decade and after getting in touch with Shilpa she was able to help us bring the matter to a peaceful and successful conclusion.

    Trustpilot review

  • I received a call from Shilpa Mathuradas a couple of hours after filling the enquiry form for a callback. She actively listened to my party wall concerns responding with gentle professionalism, answering my concerns, letting me know what is and is not possible and when best to bring in a solicitor. All this within 10 minutes. Excellent.

    Trustpilot review

  • I've recently used Osbornes for my home purchase and an equity transfer. Rachael was fantastic all the way through, keeping me informed and up to speed as to the purchase progress.

    Nicky I, Google Review

  • As everyone knows, buying a house can be an incredibly stressful experience. Emily and Isabelle at Osbornes took the pain away by leading the process, being incredibly proactive and informative. We didn't have to chase them and they managed to pull a rabbit out of a hat by helping us exchange a few days before Christmas. I'd highly recommend them for a house sale and purchase.

    Lorna B, Google Review

  • I used Simon Nosworthy's team's services when selling a flat in N10, and would do it again in a heartbeat. The follow-ups were always prompt, and my questions were always answered quickly and accurately.

    Mathieu V, Google Review

  • We hope not to move again for a long time, but when we do we will choose Osbornes for the conveyancing. Thank you.

    Mike B, Trustpilot

  • Buying and selling a house can often be a challenging process, but communication and service I received from Osbornes was second to none. I would recommend them without hesitation - 5 stars

    Michelle B, Trustpilot

  • It is the second time we have used Osbornes and in both occasions we have been delighted with the service. The team were highly professional, diligent and always replied to queries promptly. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Osbornes Law.

    Sophie, Trustpilot

  • Professional and communicative throughout the process of becoming a Freehold Company and having a share of said freehold. Both Amber and Siroop spoke in plain English and were most efficient and pleasant to deal with.

    Trustpilot review

  • Amber was fantastic from start to finish. Efficient, clear and professional. Will certainly be calling on her again.

    JQ, Trustpilot

  • I have used Osbornes a few times and I’m really happy with the service provided. They provide a very professional, polite and efficient service and I would highly recommend them.

    Sam, Trustpilot

  • Osbornes team was great with the sale of our property, everything went smoothly and very responsive

    Rachel, Trustpilot

  • Guy and his team assisted me with a new lease venture and were an absolute pleasure to work with. A professional & knowledgeable team who offered fast and excellent advice. Highly recommend their services

    Qasam A, Trustpilot

  • Osbornes are really thorough, professional & friendly. They were aware of the need for haste in my sale & they did everything they could to achieve the results of completing before the end of the SDLT holiday.

    Laurence H, Trustpilot

  • "They are an outstanding firm to work with. They are consistently impressive in their work."

    Chambers UK

    Property Department Client

  • Maria Elliot is excellent to deal with and gives valuable advice.

    Property Department Client

  • Emily Lund was very patient with our ignorance about the conveyancing process. She was consistently professional, cheerful and prompt. Thank you!

    Property Department Client

  • Selling my property was very stressful and I am most grateful for the tireless enthusiasm. The service provided was consistently good. Your knowledge of the market was valuable and your patience admirable.

    Property Department Client

  • I am much indebted to Simon Nosworthy and his staff for the efficient completion of our sale.

    Property Department Client

  • If I had another reason to have to seek legal advice again, I wouldn’t hesitate to use Shilpa, and would recommend her to anybody who needed legal advice.

    Property Litigation client

  • Shilpa was professional, realistic, and unflappable. Shilpa managed to persuade a reluctant witness to come forward to support my case. She obviously knows her subject very well.

    Property Litigation client

  • I always had full confidence in Shilpa keeping my best interests at heart. I often didn’t understand the legal language, and she would follow this up with a phone call and patiently explain.

    Property Litigation client

  • A massive thank you for all your efforts and more broadly, a fantastic service throughout the whole process - we moved in on Saturday and couldn't be more pleased with everything. I found all your advice to be priceless and a real breath of fresh air.
