Land conveyance

The whole process only took two weeks. Only Kate Furlong dealt with me throughout. I had the pleasure of meeting her when the TR1 had to be signed and witnessed. I have bought and sold many properties over the years and this transaction was the quickest I have known.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Kate made the whole process so smooth and efficient. Completing your transaction in just two weeks is certainly something to celebrate! We’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to Kate. Thank you again for choosing Farnfields.

Property conveyancing

I used Farnfields Solicitors Gillingham for the purchase of a property in Mere, Wiltshire. The service provided was of the highest standard. In particular the communications throughout the process was superb. Special mention must be made of Joanna Shortland and Daniella Flintan. They were extremely professional but also very easy to work with. I highly recommend this firm.

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.

Commendation of Excellence Services offered by Mr. Matthew Dunford

We are very grateful for the professional conveyancing services offered to us by our solicitor Mr. Matthew Dunford of Farnfields Solicitors in closing the sale of our maisonette apartment in Bath, which had lapsed over a period of about 3 years. During this period, we had several potential buyers offering to buy our apartment, but all in vain. Mr. Dunford tirelessly gave us advice to guide us through and tackle each and every issue preventing the close of the sale. His professional knowledge in the conveyancing field was undeniably instrumental in helping us successfully overcome these issues and finally, we smoothly sold our property recently. We wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Dunford to anyone wishing to find an expert solicitor in professional conveyancing services. Thank you Mr. Dunford.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that Matthew was able to guide you successfully through the conveyancing process and help you achieve a smooth sale of your property. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we truly appreciate your trust in Farnfields Solicitors. It was our pleasure to assist you, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Having had a poor experience in the past with another solicitor, an estate agent friend pointed us towards Farnfields. That was 15 years ago. Since then we have undertaken 6 property transactions with Farnfields. Without exception they have all been well handled. Matthew Dunford handled our latest property transaction and, with his assistant Dawn, once again it went through smoothly with good advice and timely information provided to us throughout. Thank you once again for excellent service.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for choosing Farnfields for so many of your property transactions over the years. We’re delighted to hear that Matthew and Dawn provided excellent service once again. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind comments to them both.

I can’t recommend Farnfields enough and especially Lin Cumberlin. Lin has been extremely supportive and generous with her time, guiding me through various processes and kindly answering my questions. Lin has a very reassuring nature and is extremely knowledgeable , this combination provided me with the much needed reassurance and confidence in the next steps I need to take and how to approach them. Lin cleared up some other grey areas I had and again this has given me the confidence I need to ensure I knew my rights, entitlements and processes that underpin the journey ahead, thank you so much again Lin, you are a credit to the company

Emily Walker and Rosie Perry Impressive conveyancing double act

I feel compelled to mention Emily Walker and her assistant Rosie Perry who were instrumental in getting my 21 month house sale over the line. A huge thank you for their continued support, communication and efficiency in dealing with the conveyancing. In summary they both rang me to congratulate me on completion, such a lovely touch, triggering yet more tears of joy and relief. Suzanne

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for such a heartfelt review. We’re delighted Emily and Rosie could support you through what was clearly a lengthy and emotional process. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely words on to them both. Wishing you all the best.

Excellent communication and service

A heartfelt thank you to Leah Lambert and her colleague Nikki Owen’s of the Shaftesbury branch in supporting my sister and I with the sale of my late parent’s home. We experienced some lack of communication from the buyers which caused significant delays in the process. Leah and Nikki were absolutely fantastic in responding promptly to our concerns, communicating openly and courteously and we really felt they went above and beyond in moving the process forward to a completion. I have no hesitation in recommending this team and would certainly use them again.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for such a thoughtful review and recommendation. We’re so pleased Leah and Nikki were able to support you and your sister throughout the sale. We’ll be sure to pass your heartfelt thanks on to them both.

Fantastic service

Selling a house is quite a stressful experience however, Ella-Rose and Lucy Liney were amazing at Farnfields. Unfortunately, the sale wasn’t as straightforward as we had hoped yet Ella-Rose went above and beyond to speed things up for us and resolve issues. I had plenty of questions and my emails were answered within 24 hours and often much, much sooner. I can’t recommend both Ella-Rose and Lucy highly enough.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your wonderful review. It’s lovely to hear that Ella-Rose and Lucy provided such dedicated support and helped keep things moving. We’ll be sure to share your lovely feedback with them both. Thank you for recommending Farnfields.

We have used Farnfields Solicitors many times over the years and have always found them to very helpful and efficient. Matthew Dunford was the person who did work for us most recently, and he has also completed things for us in the past. Matthew is always approachable and easy to contact. He answers emails promptly, and is also happy to meet in person. He never minds answering questions, and always explains things clearly. Thank you, especially to Matthew, and also to all at Farnfields.

Farnfields have been great from start to finish. Emily Walker was always willing to answer any questions that I may have and keep me updated through the entire process. And if she was busy or not in she made sure that I was still looked after and returned any and all questions I had. Having been my first house purchase Emily was great at giving me advice on what things meant and never made me feel silly when asking questions that may seem obvious to others. Not only did she help me with the purchasing of the house but also offered advice on other items that were extremely useful as a first time buyer. Overall would high recommend and would happily use them again in the future.
