Highly recommended!

I had an excellent experience with Felicity Smyth handling my lease. From start to finish, everything was dealt with efficiently, professionally, and with great attention to detail. Felicity kept me well informed throughout, with clear and timely communication, which really helped take the stress out of the process. Any questions I had were answered promptly and in a way that was easy to understand. I felt confident I was in very capable hands and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Felicity to anyone needing legal support. I’m very grateful for all her help.

Gemma Ball used for coneyancing

After some pretty appalling experiences with various local solicitors, Gemma was recommended to me by a good friend. What a breath of fresh air. Gemma is, truly wonderful. Responded to all my questions amazingly quickly. Helped to speed up the process as she completely understood my situation. I would have no hesitation in recommending her for your conveyancing needs

I had to pull from sale because of this solicitor

I had an extremely disappointing experience working with Gemma Ball during what was supposed to be my first property purchase. From the beginning, the communication was consistently poor. As a first-time buyer, I expected at least some guidance or explanation throughout the process, but instead, I was only sent generic templates with no tailored support or clarification. I was left to figure everything out myself, which caused a lot of stress and confusion. I constantly had to chase her for updates or answers – not once did she take initiative or show any sense of responsibility. There was no effort to walk me through the legal steps or help me understand the process. I felt completely unsupported. After already waiting 8 weeks into the process, she finally informed me—only after I chased her again—that we had received replies from the seller’s solicitor. She then casually stated that it would take another 8 weeks before we could sign. That meant a total of 4 months to buy a brand new, empty property with no chain and no delays on the seller's side. Completely unacceptable and, frankly, ridiculous. This experience left me incredibly frustrated and disillusioned with the conveyancing process. I would not recommend her services to anyone, especially first-time buyers who need a solicitor that communicates clearly and takes some ownership of the process. In my opinion, Gemma was passive, uncommunicative, and lacked the professionalism and care I expected from a solicitor handling such an important transaction. If you're a first-time buyer, I would not recommend her at all — you deserve someone who will guide you and take responsibility for their role in the process.

Being complete legal novices, Dorothy was excellent in explaining everything to us during the process. She showed patience and her legal expertise on multiple occasions, Dorthy was fantastic.

I used Debra Rose for a property purchase following a recommendation from a friend. She was unbelievable from start to finish. All replies were super quick (immediate most of the time) and she proved her knowledge and ability on a number of occasions dealing with the sellers incompetent solicitors and quickly resolving issues they simply did not have the ability to. I will never use anyone else.

Debra Rose has been absolutely outstanding from start to finish. She is incredibly efficient, highly knowledgeable, and completely on the ball at every stage. Her communication was excellent, she explained everything clearly, and nothing was ever too much trouble. She made what could have been a very stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough! An exceptional conveyancer!!! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tara and her team were amazing during our recent house purchase. Most people complain about their lawyers never getting back to them, Tara was always responsive and this made the whole experience very reassuring. Would highly recommend!

We used Foskett Marr for our property purchase after they were recommended to us by a friend. Our solicitor Tara was incredibly helpful and diligent, and she made the process as smooth as possible with great communication. Very trustworthy conveyancing firm and I would also recommend them to anybody purchasing a property.

Family Law

Outstanding from start to finish

I was blessed to have Foskett Marr recommended to me at an understandably difficult time when I just lacked the headspace to find someone to help with the child and financial arrangements subsequent to my divorce. I will be eternally grateful to both Blessing, Sarah and the wider team for practically carrying me through each aspect with thorough professionalism, efficiency and sensitivity. I felt safe in the knowledge that they were looking after the interests of my children and our family home. I can't recommend Foskett Marr highly enough.

Commercial Property

Complex portfolio mortgage and SPV property transaction

I instructed George on a complex transaction involving the disposal of properties from a freehold holding company into an SPV, alongside a portfolio mortgage as part of a wider company restructuring. The lender’s solicitors were demanding and raised continual additional enquiries. He remained hands-on throughout and did not simply relay correspondence - he dealt with issues directly, explained risks clearly and kept the transaction progressing. Communication was succinct and consistent, and expectations were realistic. When pressure increased close to completion he stayed calm, responsive and focused on getting the deal over the line. This was far beyond routine conveyancing and required both technical knowledge and practical judgement. The matter completed successfully and I would confidently instruct him again for complex property work.

George Popperwell - obtaining title over land

We engaged George Popperwell of Foskett Marr Gadsby & Head LLP to undertake a claim for a plot of land adjacent to our back garden under Adverse Possession. From the first point of contact on requesting a quote we were impressed by George's proactivity and honest and clear communications, which led to our engaging the firm for the work. George carried this approach forward and maintained it throughout the claim process, was always proactive and clear in his communication and gave clear and honest advice. George was also honest on the cost side throughout. It was a pleasure working with George who was highly efficient and easy to deal with. We got the result we wanted, securing title over the plot and couldn't have been happier with the advice and service provided by George, from start to end. I would not hesitate to recommend George and the firm, on the basis of our experience.
