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.

As usual, Farnfields Solicitors have given us exemplary service, especially Frances Bundy and her assistant Stephanie Down. They've just helped us with a house move and as well as pointing out to us various possible problems that we hadn't noticed, everything they shared with us was clear and concise. We wouldn't dream of using another solicitor!

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your continued trust in Farnfields and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that Frances Bundy and Stephanie Down helped make your house move a success. We wish you every happiness in your new home.

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.

Excellent Service dealing with completing Divorce

I had a positive experience while negotiating finances And completing my divorce. I was made to feel at ease during a very stressful time. I felt Meril was very professional, had great knowledge of the process and the law. Everything was explained in an understandable manner. I feel we had a good rapport and kept me well informed and updated. I feel I was represented well and delivered a satisfactory outcome.

Best Solicitor I've EVER used!

This is my third time moving house, and having used other solicitors in the past, I can honestly say that none compare to the service provided by Farnfields. I first used them for my second house purchase and didn’t hesitate to return for my third. A special thank you to Daniella Flintan and Joanna Shortland – they truly are everything you could hope for. They respond promptly to every query and handle each request efficiently, which makes such a difference during what can be a stressful process. Their dedication and professionalism ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible from start to finish. I will continue to highly recommend Farnfields to anyone looking for outstanding service. Thank you so much for all your help over the years!

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for choosing Farnfields again. It means a great deal to us that you have returned to us for your third move and that we've continued to provide the level of service you expect. Daniella and Joanna will be delighted to hear your kind words. Thank you also for your continued recommendations.

Total Lack of Knowledge

It would appear that I know more about the law with regards to my situation than they do! Incorrect information was provided to me and I became sick to death answering the same question over and over again. It reminded me of the quote: 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result'. Also, in this day and age there is no excuse for issuing documents containing spelling errors. Obviously they do not use a spell checker.

Just completed on a complicated and long house purchase. Caron Abbott @ Gillingham has been patient, supportive and understanding. She put me at ease and made me feel comfortable when I didn’t understand something and never made me feel stupid for asking what could have been silly questions. Having never needed a solicitor before I was was nervous, I am so glad it was Caron that took my case . I would highly recommend her and this firm if they can support your needs.

Having just completed our sale with help of Leah Lambert and Nikki Owens, we have experienced exemplary service from start to finish! They were always ready to answer any questions we had in a prompt and considered manner. We would highly recommend them, and we be using them again when purchasing our retirement home later this year.

Emily in the Warminster office has acted promptly and professionally throughout our conveyancing process, keeping us up to date on progress and explaining clearly the relevant stages in the process. She has been ably assisted throughout by her associate Rosie. Would definitely recommend their services and be happy to use Farnfields for any future conveyancing. A big thank you.

I can’t thank Leah at Farnfields enough for her services for our home. We used Leah to complete our first ever home purchase and she was incredible. Nothing was ever too much, and everything was dealt with so quickly and efficiently. I can’t recommend her enough!
