    Excellent for buying a Freehold

    I have used Frettens before to handle Probate and a house sale / purchase. I have always found them good. This time I decided to use them to buy a Freehold on a London based property while I was living abroad. Niki Adkins and her team were 1st rate with clear advice, guidance and fair transparent pricing. It was a pleasure to use them and I also received super positive feedback from the other people involved in the purchase.

    I am so grateful to Ben Cobb at Frettens Solicitors for his expert guidance and professionalism dealing with our recent commercial property sale. He covered everything very promptly and attentively. Moreover, he answered questions and replied to emails almost instantly, which was greatly reassuring. I would most certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a commercial solicitor.
