Heartfelt thanks

Excellent service from start to finish from Emma Elsworth. Following the death of my husband, Emma helped me with changing the names on the deeds and made the whole process simple and stress-free. Professional, compassionate and very helpful throughout. I would highly recommend her.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback. We’re pleased to hear that Emma provided compassionate and reassuring support during what can be a difficult time. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Emma. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing Farnfields.

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.

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 have recently used Farnfields in order to sell a property: Ingrid Hindle and Sophie Broom were very approachable and efficient; the house sale went through without a hitch. We have used Farnfields in the past for conveyancing, POA's and wills and have been very happy with their professionalism and efficiency.

We instructed Farnfields in relation to a quick purchase. We had already spent 6 months wrangling with another legal firm and another property and eventually pulled the plug. We went for Farnfields owing to their already positive reviews and recommendations. From the outset, Emma Elsworth and her legal assistant Sandra were professional, friendly and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Having been used to 'chasing' solicitors, this was clearly not the case with Emma. The result was a purchase from viewing to moving in, in 8 weeks! We also used their will writing service via Bethan Creasey and her assistant Marion Baxter who were similarly brilliant at guiding us through the sometimes tricky and legal wording explaining things in straight forward way ensuring our wishes and needs were adequately covered. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Farnfields for conveyancing and will writing services and a big thank you from us both.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

We’re thrilled to hear that Emma and Sandra were able to make your purchase process smooth and efficient, especially after your previous experience with another firm. It’s also great to hear that Bethan and Marion provided clear guidance for your will writing, ensuring your wishes were fully covered.

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

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.

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.
