Exceptional Service

​Thank you Emma Dugdale and Clare Hallett​ for the exceptional service you provided during the recent sale of our house. Your communication throughout the process was outstanding. We truly appreciated how promptly you returned our calls and how proactively you kept us informed at every stage. Everything was explained clearly, and your suggestions and support were invaluable to us. Furthermore, your fees were transparent, and we feel we received great value for money. We will certainly be recommending Frettens to others​!

Conveyancing sale and purchase.

On the whole, a great experience. The occasional reminder of important events about to happen would be useful. They were always in the letters but in the deluge of information they can be easily be missed.

I went with Frettens as they seemed to have a good reputation and I wanted to support a local business. I was happy with the initial onboarding process, which was clear and streamlined. My issues with the service I received was 75% around their dismissive attitude and 25% around them not doing agreed tasked on time which led to missing our completion date for a house sale. This was completely avoidable. Several times I would be told I would receive an update, which never came. More than once my solicitor went on leave without a heads up and I would find out by getting their out of office response (of course I don’t resent them having leave, it was the lack of communication). When the searches came through I was told I could have a phone call on Friday morning if I had any questions. I said yes please, and this was ignored. More than once I sent an email that was just not responded to. My ISA funds were not requested in time. Searches were not sent off in time. Despite them having the paperwork for 8 weeks. When it looked like we were going to miss the completion date, I mentioned something about the estate agent being concerned we were set to miss the completion date I received a dismissive, ‘oh they just have monthly targets’. Erm.. there’s a buyer (me) and a seller that have removals that need to be rebooked at short notice and other pretty major inconveniences. The attitude was just not ok. Every day for over a week I was told we would exchange tomorrow and this was always me chasing them for an update because each day I was believing it was going to happen. I contained my irritation at the time as I feared it could delay everything even more. I have gone elsewhere now to sort out my will and I would never use Frettens again. In short I found them apathetic, rude and incompetent. I spoke with the estate agent throughout the process and they commented that I had had a particularly bad experience and was unlucky with my allocation of solicitor.

Hi Sarah We are disappointed to read your feedback. We have tried to give you a call to discuss it and have left you a message. We are always keen to hear feedback on how we can improve our service and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience. To address a couple of your points that we are able to online: Your purchase was completed within 8 weeks of instruction, which relatively quick for a leasehold property, and within timescales requested. Your lawyer had two days of holiday in the 8 week period and their paralegal (who was informed of your case) was covering on both days, as per emails and out of office messages. Please do return Clare’s call Many Thanks
