Wouldn't use anyone else!

We have sold and bought several properties in the last few years, including through probate and a non simultaneous purchase and sale. Throughout we have used the services of Farnfields and particularly Sarah Clarke and Emma Barlow. They are both consistently professional, efficient, friendly and human which makes the whole process so much easier. We cannot fault them for service and would not hesitate to recommend them.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you so much for your kind words and continued trust in Farnfields. We’re delighted to hear that Sarah Clarke and Emma Barlow were able to support you so successfully through several property transactions. We will be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to Sarah and Emma.

We recently used Farndields Solicitors for the partial split of title on our land sale and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Kate Furlong and India Jacklin were both fantastic throughout the whole process. Everything was handled professionally, communication was clear and prompt, and they made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and well organised. They kept us updated every step of the way and were always happy to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend Farndields Solicitors, especially Kate and India, for anyone needing conveyancing or land title work done. Excellent service from start to finish — 5 stars!

I recently purchased my first home and chose Farnfields on the basis of excellent reviews and recommendations from two different estate agents. Leah Lambert acted for me and she was consistently excellent during one complex - and ultimately aborted - purchase, and then on a second successful one. She and her secretary, Nikki Owens, communicated with me professionally and courteously throughout the entire process, answered all my questions in a timely and competent manner, and gave my confidence during what was a stressful and anxious time. I would have no hesitation in calling on Farnfields in the future, or in recommending them to others.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

We’re thrilled to hear that Leah and Nikki were able to support you so effectively throughout both transactions, especially during a complex and stressful process. They will be delighted to know their professionalism, communication, and guidance made such a difference.

After issues with a former solicitor, we changed to Farnfields and were allocated Abbey Starr as our contact. Although we have found the procedures of buying stressful, Abbey was a wonderful support to us and guided us through the whole process. We have now concluded and cannot thank Abbey enough. This move is to be closer to our daughter's and family. We found it has become more difficult since our last purchase over 26 years ago. Don't know how we could have survived the system without Abbey's help. Our gratitude to her for her patience from a couple of ageing dinosaurs. Brian and Rosemary

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that working with Abbey Starr made such a difference during your property purchase. Buying a home can feel overwhelming at the best of times, and it’s wonderful to know that Abbey’s guidance, reassurance and patience helped you navigate the process with confidence.

To whom it may concern: My experience of Farnfields is a positive and happy one. I found our lead solicitor, Karen Auckland very efficient and helpful when needed. The senior soliicitor Julian Alahakoon was in the background if required, but Karen was always on the ball and knew just what to do when the other party's solicitors did not come up with the money at the specified time interval. I would unhesitatingly recommend them. I used Farnfields Gillingham branch twelve or so years ago on an entirely different matter and also found them very good too. All in all - an excellent practice in my experience.

Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback. We will ensure we pass on a copy of your review for Julian and Karen.

Conveyancing

Farnfields’ conveyancing department has been absolutely superb in managing both the sale and purchase of my property. In particular, I can’t praise highly enough Frances Bundy and Stephanie Down for the speed and efficiency of the transaction. They reply to correspondence and phone calls promptly, very often immediately, and their communications are clear and straight-forward. I have been a client of Farnfields for over 20 years and am always confident in the knowledge that they are a safe pair of hands.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for your continued support over the past 20 years. We’re delighted to hear that you were pleased with the service provided by our conveyancing team and that Frances Bundy and Stephanie Down were able to support you efficiently throughout both your sale and purchase.

We chose Farnfields as they had been our late parents’ solicitors for many years, and they had always provided exemplary service. So when it came to selling the family home, Farnfields were the natural choice for conveyancing - and we have not been disappointed. Lead solicitor Frances Bundy and paralegal Ali Potepa dealt with our conveyancing very efficiently, and although the sale was fairly straightforward, it was reassuring to know it was in safe hands. Ali’s prompt guidance, regular updates and clear explanations of issues were very much appreciated. We have no hesitation in recommending Farnfields.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for continuing to place your trust in Farnfields. We’re pleased to hear that your experience of selling the family home was handled efficiently and that you felt reassured throughout the process.

I would highly recommend using Farnfields solicitors. I recently bought my first home and was so happy to have Leah Lambert supporting me through the conveyancing process. Leah was really reassuring and took time to explain different stages of the process for me as I was very anxious throughout due to delays from the other side. Leah was great communicating with me and made a stressful process much more manageable. The Shaftesbury office is lovely and everyone was always welcoming and supportive. Thank you Leah!

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your lovely feedback and recommendation. We’re delighted to hear that your first home purchase went smoothly overall and that Leah Lambert was able to support you through what can often be a stressful process It’s also great to hear you felt so welcome when visiting our Shaftesbury office.
