    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!

      We had an outstanding experience with Eddie at Frettens throughout our purchase. From start to finish, Eddie was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly proactive. Buying a house can be a stressful process, but he kept everything moving smoothly, communicated clearly at every stage, and was always available to answer our questions and explain things in a way that made sense. What really stood out was his dedication and attention to detail. He genuinely cared about getting the transaction over the line and went above and beyond to ensure everything progressed as quickly and efficiently as possible. His responsiveness and persistence gave us real confidence throughout the process. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eddie and the team at Frettens to anyone looking for a solicitor. Thank you for helping make our house purchase such a positive and stress free experience!
