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

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.

Frances Bundy and Stefanie Down have aided my wife and I throughout our experience of relocating from Dorset to Cornwall. Instructions were always clear and concise and not without some reservation on our part having not moved house for over 37 years! Buying and selling is not without stress, however, they have made it relatively plain sailing for us. Thank you.

Farnfields Solicitors have just dealt with my sale and purchase in a very efficient manner. As I was selling Freehold and buying Leasehold it was not as straightforward as I was expecting. Nonetheless the work of Joanna Shortland ably assisted by Daniella Flintan was thorough and painstaking.

Andrea and the team at Farnfields Shaftesbury have done an outstanding job executing our house purchase, a Grade II Thatched cottage dating from 1650. The whole process has been completed in just 3 weeks, whilst remaining both robust and realistic. Communication with Andrea and Glenda have been timely and clear throughout.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

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.

Excellent and compassionate service

Farnfields of Shaftesbury acted as the Executors of my late mother's will. During a very emotional and difficult period, Farnfields worked extremely hard to relieve my sister and I of any stress, whilst being very professional and, above all, kind and compassionate. They also acted as conveyancers in the sale of mum's house, again a very sad time. The sale went through smoothly with no issues at all. I cannot speak highly enough of Farnfields and unreservedly recommend their services.

Farnfields Solicitors were recommended to me by a friend as they had used them previously in buying their house. I am always apprehensive about this kind of thing, hearing negative stories about delays being caused. However, Helen and her colleagues at Farnfields were amazing from beginning to completion. She was always in contact with us and updating when necessary as well as pushing others along the way. It was the best decision we made in buying our house to request Farnfields to act on our behalf. They were knowledgable and professional throughout. Thank you very much.

I had an excellent experience with Kathryn Archer at Farnfields Solicitors and would highly recommend her services. Kathryn was efficient, professional and incredibly responsive throughout. She kept me regularly updated, responded to my emails very quickly, and was thorough and clear in her reporting, which really helped me understand everything along the way. She made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and stress-free, and I always felt completely at ease knowing that everything was being handled so efficiently. Everyone I came across at the Farnfields office was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the overall experience even more positive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kathryn and Farnfields Solicitors. An excellent service from start to finish - thank you!
