This was an extremely messy property sale with a very difficult buyer. However, Abbey Starr handled the process with great professionalism and kept us fully informed throughout. Many thanks to her.

Abbey Starr has made the whole process of selling my house very straight forward. I felt confident in her management of my case and I felt that she was working in my best interest. She was also very willing to answer all my questions.

We have now engaged Farnfields to sell an existing property and purchase another and the service has been of the highest order. Joanna and Amanda could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them and they helped us through the whole process.

The service I received over several months from Louise Cook was exemplary. She was very reactive, quick to call or e-Mail in response to queries, thorough and industrious.
Unfortunately, we had to take our tenant to court, but the process was painless and effective, not nearly as scary as I had feared.
I would not hesitate to recommend Louise to any prospective client as a very efficient and hard working solicitor.

Victoria Williams and Natalie dealt with the Residential Conveyancing on my property.
I met with them in the Warminster Office and communicated via email and phone. In all instances I found them both to be very friendly and professional, making the whole transaction very straight forward.

Maureen
Collected on:
I am going through a will dispute and contacted Farnfields Gillingham and made an appointment.
I met with solicitor Nigel Mills and explained my problems. Unfortunately, due to my mother's will having been held at this office and renounced by them they were unable to help me further due to a potential conflict of interest.
Nigel was very professional during our meeting and made me feel at complete ease.
We, my husband and I, still hold our wills at this office and have used them for conveyancing many times in the past.
They are a good all round solicitors' office and I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone.
A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review on 10 January, 2024:
