As first time buyers, the process of purchasing a home felt daunting at first, but working with Farnfields Solicitor made all the difference.
From start to finish, they were a steady, reassuring presence and guided us through every step with clarity, patience, and in a very professional way.
They took the time to explain everything in a way we could understand, no matter how many questions we had. Nothing ever felt rushed or overlooked. Communication was always prompt and transparent, which helped ease our worries and build confidence throughout the journey.
It was clear that Helen and Danielle genuinely cared about getting everything right for us, not just legally, but personally. Their attention to detail, diligence, and warm approach turned what could have been a stressful process into a really positive experience.
We’re so grateful for their support in helping us achieve such an important milestone. We would absolutelly recommend to anyone, especially fellow first time buyers looking for someone who can be trusted. We actually recommended already to our friends and our mortgage broker.
Thank you again for everything!

I dealt with Abbey Starr at Farnfields while selling my mother's house on her behalf. Abbey kept me in touch with progress and clarified the process for me , which I really appreciated, and regularly chased up the buyer's solicitors during a couple of hold-ups. I'm grateful for all her work and patience; she also advised me appropriately about the failings of a different legal firm in their handling of an LPA. Abbey was professional and prompt throughout, and I would thoroughly recommend Farnfields.

Lucy Brown was excellent when dealing with my case. Lucy always put me at ease when I had concerns and questions, the communication was excellent and I always knew where things were in regards to the case. Lucy made a stressful period of my life less stressful and I’m very thankful for everything and also the end result.

Joanna Shortland and her assistant, Daniella Flintan, handled the conveyancing of my property over a six month period culminating in the successful exchange and completion in November 2024.
I could not have wished either for a better outcome or for the calm and courteous professionalism with which the one or two difficulties we encountered were dealt with.
I have no hesitation at all in recommending Farnfields for any property transaction in the future.

They say that buying and selling a house is one of the most stressful things that you can do in life but in all honesty if there was any stress involved, we didn't feel any at all and we put that down to having Farnfields on our side. They gained our trust almost immediately and whilst being extremely professional, they also provided a very friendly and helpful service. Thank you especially to Hannah & Rosie (in Warminster) and Natalie in Gillingham.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Natalie Hopkinson for the conveyancing on my property purchase, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, Natalie was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable.
She explained every step of the process clearly, kept me informed throughout, and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Her attention to detail and commitment to making the process as smooth as possible really stood out.
Buying a property can be stressful, but Natalie made it feel straightforward and manageable. I truly appreciated her calm approach, clear communication, and dedication to getting everything completed efficiently and accurately.
If you're looking for a conveyancer who is reliable, experienced, and genuinely cares about her clients, Natalie Hopkinson is an outstanding choice.
