Excellent service

Chantelle was very professional, friendly and very easy to talk to. During a difficult time after my dad passed away chantelle made the process of probate very easy and took the stress away from my family. I would definitely recommend Chantelle.

I have recently had 2 occasions where I used the services of Foys. Firstly my wife and I needed to update our wills. Pauline Warburton listened to our requirement and produced our wills following a draft review. This was in a timely manner and both my wife and I was happy with the outcome. The second occasion I needed advice with respect to Probate. Sally Marriott advised and guided me through the process with ease. I am very thankful to Sally and can recommend Foys for these services.

Toni of Foys provided an Outstanding service. Had a Will to process of a medium size, and of some complexity. Foys took the matter in hand, handled all the legal details beyond my ability, kept me regularly updated, conducted all the research into accounts, and government offices, even dealt with legal difficulties I could never handle, and concluded all the affairs in good time. They handled everything with professionalism, and sensitivity; and their fees were were very modest in comparison to the work undertaken. I highly recommend Foys.

I recently worked with Lee Hunter and his team for probate services to administer my late cousin's estate. Despite the complexities involved, including a large number of beneficiaries and pandemic-related delays, Lee and his team handled everything with professionalism, expertise, and care. Their clear communication and dedication made a challenging process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Lee Hunter and Foys Solicitors for their exceptional service. Thank you for your hard work and support!

Excellent Service

As ever, Foys were brilliant. Always kept in contact with us, either through a call or mail and Claire was always happy to speak and answer any questions we had. Also should be noted that if she was busy, she always responded back as soon as she possibly could.

Grace was fantastic.

Our process from viewing a property to completion was just 8 weeks. This was in a large part due to Grace being absolutely fantastic. She was always kind, courteous and reassuring us at times when we were most anxious. She always promptly replied to emails and remained professional throughout the process. We had to give 5 stars just purely based on how brilliant Grace was, however, our experience with Foys overall unfortunately soured in the final week. Grace left to go on annual leave during our completion, which we knew 3 weeks in advance. We knew that funds would be released from my Lifetime ISA on the 3rd August, and completion was on the 7th August. As soon as our funds were released we called Foys every day so that we could get contracts exchanged. This still didn't happen until less than 24 hours before completion. Foys did not contact us once in this period, as every email and phone call was initiated by us, and there were a lot of them. We only found out that contracts had been exchanged because we called them to ask. We were told that there was nothing to worry about and that we had everything we need and that completion would go ahead no problem. At 1pm on completion day, we called to see if there was any progress. Foys told us that we were missing a document with our broker and that we had to send it in the NEXT HOUR in order for our funds to be released. Even though we had already asked THREE times if there was anything we needed to send. What would have happened if we hadn't called them? They clearly knew that we needed to send a document because the solicitor mentioned it as soon as we mentioned our name on the phone. If we hadn't called, completion would have been delayed, which would have been very costly. We appreciate that it is difficult to manage your own caseload as well as someone else's on annual leave, which is why we haven't named the solicitor. However, this is a failing of Foys, whether it be management or the solicitors themselves, so this five star review is not for Foys, but solely for Grace and how brilliant she was. As I mentioned, viewing to completion in 8 weeks with a small chain is miraculous, so we know how lucky we are.

Andrea Honeybone, Jillian and Lisa were excellent in keeping us updated with the sale of our house and purchase of our new property. Always got back to us when I contacted any of them and Andrea and Jillian were happy for us to speak to them directly, which was so reassuring during an extremely stressful time. Total confidence in this superb team and would definitely recommend them. Excellent service!

Jane Fieldhouse is an excellent conveyancer. She is professional, knowledgeable and meticulous at what she does. She paid attention to every detail, kept me updated throughout, managed my expectations well and also adhered to the timings I had given her. She is a huge credit to Foys and I truly felt that she supported me and really worked with me to ensure she could provide me with an excellent service. I had nothing to worry about and I am very grateful for the way she dealt with my house purchase. Her assistant Kirsty was also excellent and always available in Jane’s absence. I would 100% recommend Jane to all, including family and friends. Thank you for your time Jane and I hope you continue to thrive- Kiran
