The stresses and strains of conveyencing
Samantha Cook at Farnfields was an absolute star on a purchase that, through no fault of her own, was full of delays, inaccurate paperwork, missing documents and certain economies with the truth. In the end we pulled out of the deal. On the sale of our house, this was done by Samantha in a efficient and proffesional manner, keeping us informed and update all along.

Conveyancing at Farnfields Solicitors
When you want professionals, you want the best. Farnfields Solicitors proved the best in our long experience of moving homes. We cannot speak highly enough of our professional conveyancer, Gayle, and her assistant, Abbey. Gayle is highly knowledgeable and she was always there to smooth the way. Abbey was her very capable support. They truly make a formidable team!

House sale and purchase
Gayle Deffries was employed to deal with the sale and purchase of property on our behalf.
I found her to be very professional, helpful and friendly.
Nothing was to much trouble for her and always replied to phone call and emails very quickly.
I would have no hesitation to recommend Gayle to anyone wanting her services.
Thank you very much Gayle, kind regards David Parsons.

House sale and purchase of a new property
well i can not recommend them high enough, although my sale went through fine, the purchase of my new property was well fraught with frustration and hold ups ,but FARNFIELDS kept me in the loop all the time, always available and if not they would always get back to you, helping with recommends for insurance, going through the searches with a fine tooth combe, and the end result was that i moved in as i wanted and now i am very happy ,
thank you again Gail and Abbey

Great service
I used Farnfields to finalise my will and to prepare lasting power of attorney for my health & welfare and for my property and financial affairs. The service was very professional and clear. I was expecting confusing legalese but everything was clearly explained and the process was efficiently carried out within the indicated time. Excellent service and good value for money. Many thanks.

Lucy and Sarah were professional, thorough, efficient and a very real pleasure to have them work with us.
Ours was a very emotive case, and they both looked after us with empathy and a great understanding not just legally, but personally.
We were kept fully informed and Lucy was so well prepared for court, we will forever be grateful for all the hard work effort that went in to winning our case.
A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review on 02 February, 2022:

Conveyancing
I would thoroughly recommend Farnfields to anyone for their professional efficiency. Gayle Defries and Abbey Starr were always ready to resolve any issues and emails; queries were dealt with promptly and Gayle even replied to an email whilst on Christmas break. We were always treated with patience and never made to feel that we were taking up too much of their time. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Excellent Conveyancing Service
Farnfields was recommended to me by the Estate Agent selling my property. Samantha Cook and her conveyancing team at Farnfields provided a friendly and efficient service at a reasonable fixed fee. I would certainly use them again and highly recommend them.

A client
I recently completed a house purchase with Farnfields and the experience was second to none.
My solicitor Jo Shortland and her assistant Amanda Ackroyd were always attentive and available to answer my questions, and were forthcoming and communicative throughout the process. I found this particularly notable given the heightened pressures on those working in the conveyancing sector at this moment in time. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future and will be recommending them to friends and family.

We used Emily Walker at Farnfields Solicitors for the conveyancing on a property we were selling and would highly recommend Emily and Farnfields as a company. We found them to be efficient and we were kept informed at all times, the whole transaction was very smooth and we would certainly use them again in the future.
