    Seeking advice reference an order for sale of investment properties.

    Michelle Hayter was instructed regarding seeking an order for sale of two investment properties where the co owner had refused to provide agreement for the sales process to go ahead . A detailed and laser focused letter before action resulted in the co owner agreeing to the sale of both properties, thus avoiding litigation. The whole process with Michelle was smooth and efficient with excellent communication throughout with clear and practical legal advice on resolving the issues without resort to formal court action.

    We would just like to say thank you to Charlotte and Edward for the work they did with our house move, sale and purchase. Not only was it more or less stress free but they were quick to answer any queries and helped to quell any concerns that arose. And a massive thank you to Olivia in the litigation department for her previous excellent work. They were all tenacious and professional. We have now used the conveyancing and litigation departments at Frettens and feel they are now our ‘go to’ solicitors and will happily use them in the future.😊 We cannot praise them enough!

      Excellent Service

      I recently used Jack Phillips at Frettens for advice and support relating to a settlement agreement. I was extremely impressed by the speed and professionalism with which my case was handled. Jack provided clear, practical guidance throughout the process, ensuring I fully understood my options and the implications of the agreement. Everything was dealt with efficiently and within tight timescales, giving me confidence and peace of mind at every stage. I would also like to thank Charlie for the excellent communication and support. Together, they provided a seamless service, and I would not hesitate to recommend Jack and the team at Frettens.

      Absolutely first class. From my initial enquiry, they responded very fast and the level of service from all of the staff that assisted me at different stages, I cannot give enough praise. I am currently overseas and needed to do all business online. Frettens were able to help me, when other firms did not want to know. Highly recommended, and extremely fairly priced.
