Roo Withana

Roo studied Law (LLB) with Business Management at the University of East London. After completing her undergraduate degree in 2015, she then went on to complete her LPC MSc in Law, Business and Management, at the University of Law (London Moorgate) in 2017. Roo then joined a niche London law firm specialising in all aspects of commercial and residential property. She initially joined as a paralegal and was later awarded a training contract with the firm. After completing her training and qualifying as a Solicitor, she joined TV Edwards LLP in May 2021 as a Property Solicitor. She specialises in residential and commercial property acting for a wide range of clients from property companies to private individuals.

Roo’s keen interest for conveyancing stemmed from her related work experience and paralegal positions. She understands her client’s needs and will go the extra mile to get the deal done.

Had a very good experience with Roo for our house purchase. She is on top of all the things and clearly explained to us given the complication of the purchase. Also she is easy to work with and understand what we need. Will definitely use the service again for another purchase in the future. Gary 19.10.24

Roo was completely brilliant throughout our flat purchasing process. As first time buyers, we were hugely grateful for her expertise and guidance. She was immensely professional and personable throughout, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Saffeya 02.10.24

I am grateful for the courtesy and professionalism provided to me by Roo. Each step if the process was made clear as were the expectations on both out parts. – Marian 25.06.24

Outstanding service. Roo was outstanding on both a personal and professional level. I had a particularly lengthy and difficult process for the sale of my flat, but Roo’s calm and patient manner was much needed and appreciated. Over this period, she responded quickly to my emails and ensured that I was always up to date. She proved to be an extremely competent solicitor, who I trusted to always give me right advice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. – Elke 18.05.24

We used Roo and TV Edwards when buying our first home in July 2023. As first time buyers we weren’t familiar with the process, but Roo did an amazing job guiding us through each step and keeping us informed the whole way. She took the time to explain the report and answer any questions we had across the different documents – nothing was too much. Thank you Roo for making a potentially stressful process very straight forward. We will definitely reach out to you if/when we buy again! – James 28.04.24

Roo at TV Edwards was recommended to us by our Mortgage Advisor who had personally worked with her. After an intro call we felt Roo would be the best solicitor to help us in buying our first home. We definitely made the right decision! Roo was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. She helped us understand the details of buying our first home, and we took great confidence in her attention to detail. She was also very communicative throughout the process. We would definitely recommend Roo and TV Edwards, and plan to use them again for any future requirements. – Daniel 27.04.24

Great, professional experience. We used TV Edwards and Roo when buying our house. The experience we had was extremely positive. The service was very professional – our queries were addressed in a timely manner, all of the documentation was provided to us without delay and explained well. Roo was very knowledgeable and personable – provided advice where necessary and was kind and helpful during a stressful time for us. Thoroughly recommended! – Teodor 11.03.24

Excellent service from Roo. Roo provided an excellent conveyancing service on our recent house move, especially given our unique circumstances. She was readily available on email, explained the complexities of being bought out of my old property and was on hand to support with a tricky plot issue in our onward chain. She was always honest with timescales and set clear expectations, which was very helpful.

Best solicitor. Roo Withana is the best solicitor I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, she explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable solicitor, then go to Roo.

New home. I am so happy and appreciate how much Roo Withana helped me.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Roo and Juanita on more than few files over the past couple of years and have been very pleased with their knowledge of residential conveyancing matters. They are excellent at looking after their clients by keeping the client’s interest at core of what they do.

I highly recommend Peter Thibault and Roo Withana. I recently used their services for a lease extension for my flat, and was very impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and as well as the prompt and swift speed at which they responded to my questions and dealt with my case.

Both Peter and Roo were always available to answer my questions and explain the complex legal process in a way that I could understand. They were also very patient and understanding, and they made sure that I felt comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. I was very satisfied with their legal services.

Roo was a true professional and a pleasure to deal with throughout what turned out to be a challenging conveyancing process. She always dealt with matters in good time and to a high standard, and gave clear advice when necessary. Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant & efficient service. Roo was so helpful, professional, patient & reassuring. Always put me at ease & was so easy to speak with. Always prompt with contact & feedback. I was a first time seller & a little anxious on procedure but Roo put my mind at rest & completed a smooth sale.

Roo is an exceptional solicitor, who worked tirelessly to complete our house purchase in a short space of time, prior to the stamp duty holiday. Despite the quick turnaround time, I feel that Roo was diligent in her work and always had our best interests at heart. Finally, I feel that Roo’s communication skills were fantastic, and she always kept my partner and I informed of the ongoing process. I couldn’t recommend using Roo as a solicitor enough.

We sold and bought to the 30 June deadline. It was very challenging, but Roo did a brilliant job to ensure we were successful.

Roo was thorough and a pleasure to work with. Very thankful for all the hard work.

Roo is extremely personable and set out what needed to be done efficiently and with clarity. There were minor setbacks but these were due exclusively to the other side. I work in the Arts where truth and sensitivity will often come at a premium. Roo is just good at her job. Simple as.

Extremely satisfied with a successful result. Roo was very professional in every step, very meticulous in every task and good communication.

Roo was incredible, thorough, fantastic communication, my purchase was very tricky and very lengthy and she advised me well whilst also providing support through a rather ridiculous process. Very professional whilst also being warm. Thank you so much Roo.

A friend of mine highly recommended Roo and I would do the same. Roo made what would have been a very stressful process feel easy. She is professional, contactable and flexible and I always felt like I was in good hands. As someone in the legal sector myself, I understand the hard work that has to be put in to deliver the level of service provided by Roo and it is hard to come by. Thank you.

All team members were rapid in their responses. Whenever I called to check on the progress of some items (limited) they had already been actioned and there was no reason to chase. There were no hiccups along the way and the team completed the transaction in record speed, which in the current economic climate meant we could rest assured that everything was on track. Roo and the team were very streamlined and we felt we had a great service. I appointed TV Edwards on the recommendation of a friend and I will definitely be recommending TV Edwards to any friends buying. Considering the nightmarish situations that some friends are currently experiencing with conveyancing solicitors both myself and Bas are very grateful for the excellent service we received. A very big thank you from us.

Roo has maintained exceedingly high levels of professionalism throughout the work she has provided. She has been supportive during what has been a tumultuous purchase journey and her responses have been prompt, clear and helpful. I have been very impressed with her and will be happy to recommend both Roo, and TV Edwards, in the future.
