Purchase of land bought at auction

We pre-bid on one of 10 plots of land and our completion date was set for a few weeks later. We chose Farnfields and are so glad we did because other plot purchasers had no end of problems and some had to change solicitors mid-way through negotiations. Farnfields were brilliant. Kate Furlong was diligent, efficient and always answered or returned our calls. Our purchase became complicated due to the auctioneer not preparing the right details in the pre-auction pack. How Kate managed to overcome all the obstacles we will never know, but after months of negotiations, wrong plans and poorly filled out TP1 documentation from the seller's solicitors we finally completed. Unfortunately due to all the complications Farnfields had to increase their fees. We hadn't budgeted for it and asked for a financial breakdown of costs. It helped us understand where the money had gone. We realised the difficulties being thrown at Farnfields by the seller's solicitor one after another. If Kate was unsure about anything, she referred to her senior colleagues, so we knew we were always getting the best advice. Julian was particularly helpful on completion day. All in all a brilliant service from Farnfields from the receptionists upwards. Kate's assistant, India, was helpful too. We always felt listened to. We now have our own little piece of countryside preserved for wildlife. It is a long-held dream come true thanks to the team at Farnfields, especially Kate Furlong. We can't praise her highly enough.

I wish to share my amazing experience with the conveyancing team, in particular Joanna Shortland and Daniella Flintan. They completed the sale of my property so quickly and efficiently, I really couldn't have asked for such a better service. They went above and beyond, ensuring that everything progressed smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend their services and will certainly use this firm again in the future. Thank you for your hard work, commitment and high standard of work.

I am very happy with the service I received from Emily Walker, who handled the conveyancing for the sale of our family home. Emily was friendly, efficient and competent and her calm demeanor was very helpful at a rather stressful and emotional time. Thank you Emily. Also, Sarah Blackburn, who filled in for Emily when she was on leave was very helpful and attentive which we appreciated very much. When we had to go into the office at Farnfields in Warminster everyone was welcoming, competent and efficient. Nice job everyone! Thank you.

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.
