We recently worked with Frettens in a complex conveyancing case involving foreign-based buyers and two different specialist loan mechanisms. The level of service provided by Ms Petersen was superb; timely, extremely careful, and sensitive guidance through the myriad of issues we confronted. We cannot commend her work more highly

Fantastic service on a recent conveyancing service. Really impressed with the service by Frettens, particularly from Charlotte and Edward. I was kept fully updated throughout my sale and purchase and never had to guess where things stood. They addressed every query promptly and did a fanatic job of chasing the other parties to ensure a quick turnaround. It felt like they went above and beyond to assist however they could. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend to others.

I cannot recommend Kerry Martin ant Frettens enough. She dealt with a lease extension for me and was also on hand to help me sort out some issues with my remortgage. She was prompt and efficient and kept me informed every step of the way.

Frettens was founded in 1978 by Ian Fretten as a sole practitioner in Christchurch, dealing with residential property, wills, probate and trusts. As a firm, we grew steadily over the years, providing additional commercial services and expanding to Ringwood. Our bright team are not only experts in their field, but excellent communicators with a positive, can-do approach to helping clients. The team use plain English and don’t hide behind unnecessarily complex ‘legalese’. As a client, you will always have your lawyer's name, email, and direct contact number for ease of access. Your first meeting with us is always free. People shouldn’t be put off seeking legal advice for fear of being charged to be told they don’t have a case.
