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.

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.

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.

Sarah was absolutely fantastic throughout my recent property transaction. Her professionalism, efficiency and clear communication made the entire process seamless from start to finish. She was always approachable, quick to respond and incredibly thorough, making sure every detail was handled with care. It’s clear Sarah genuinely cares about her clients and goes the extra mile to make what can be a stressful experience feel completely manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah and Farnfields to anyone needing expert conveyancing support. A really great service.

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.

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!
