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.

An outstanding service. Great communication. The sale of the flat would not have been completed on time without the involvement of Farnfields. I would definitely recommend them and will certainly use Farnfields again not only for conveyancing but other legal matters as well.

My deep thanks to Nigel Mills of Farnfields, Gillingham, for his expertise and kindly support with a Settlement Agreement relating to my recent employment. I was able to reach a conclusion that was ideal for me, thanks to his wisdom and guidance, and he made an otherwise challenging situation much easier for me. Thank you, Nigel.

I highly recommend Claire Gundry and Natalie Hopkinson at Farnfields' Gillingham office if you are moving house. They were always prompt to respond to every query, were in the driving seat as far as chasing up slower parts of the chain went, and Clare's attention to detail when looking through the contracts was also excellent. Everything was explained in layman's terms when we met with Claire to go through the paperwork, which was refreshing! Although various aspects of the move caused us to grind our teeth and check our blood pressure, none of this originated with Farnfields, and we always had the utmost confidence that they were doing a good job for us.

Chris Pleasants at Farnfields has sold our previous property and we didn’t hesitate to use his services again.
We found him very trustworthy through and kept us informed throughout the process.
Thanks once again and we would recommend this company to anyone.

I used Clare at Farnfields on the recommendation of a good friend for a transfer of equity of a property in London. Her costs were very reasonable compared to the London conveyancers I looked at, and she and Lauren were both very responsive, efficient, kind and just lovely people to boot. The whole process took less than four weeks, and we completed before the stamp duty rise came in in April. Will 100% be using again in the future.

We received an offer on our property and the buyers wanted to complete within 2 weeks. Farnfields Solicitors (Gillingham) were an absolute pleasure to work with. Completely unfazed by the short timeframe Joanna Shortland and Daniella Flintan made a quite a stressful process (for us) feel very straightforward. I have worked with a lot of solicitors on other property sales and purchases and this was by far the best experience I have ever had. I would highly recommend them and will not be using any other firm from now.

Collected on:
We had the privilege of working with Emma Elsworth and Sandra Barber during the purchase of our recent property in London. From the start of the process, Emma was proactive despite significant challenges in communicating with the seller's solicitors.
In light of the stamp duty increase in April 2025, we were keen to complete before then. Although at times it felt impossible due to the lack of progress from the seller's solicitor, Emma worked diligently to plan ahead, ensuring our side was prepared and ready to meet the deadline; which we achieved the day before the deadline.
Throughout the process, Emma was approachable and professional in handling our case. We are grateful for her support and would highly recommend her services.
