I can't thank you enough for what was to me an anxiety making task so very easy. As the old saying goes "it was a pleasure doing business with you".

Thank you for providing such a wonderful review Anthea. Such feedback is very important to us. If we can assist in the future with any legal issues please do reach out.
I have used Kingsford's for house purchases, sales and to make a will. Every encounter I have with the team is pleasant, they explain the processes and communicate brilliantly. I couldn't have asked for better.
To the anonymous reviewer - thank you for providing this lovely feedback. Much appreciated.
Unprofessional and rude. Employed “deny, deny, deny” tactics while under investigation for their behaviour. Avoid at all costs.

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. Much appreciated.
The care and courtesy that I consistently receive from the staff at the Hythe branch is exemplary. They are exceptionally careful about privacy, friendly and helpful and explain things thoroughly. My most recent encounter has been with regard to the updating of my will. The process was straightforward and hassle free and worth the (very fair) cost incurred. I feel safe and supported in my dealings with these people and trust them implicitly. I speak as a retired senior police officer and a serving local Methodist Church Minister.

Many thanks Kevin for providing such a welcome review. We do appreciate this feedback. Should you have any legal needs in the future please do get in contact.
I can highly recommend Kingsfords Solicitors. I have used them on two occasions for probate applications and each time have been very impressed with the efficient, professional and yet personal service I have received. My applications were dealt with by Marcus and Chloe who make an excellent team. They were quick to respond to all of my many queries, showing patience and understanding, and made the entire process stress free.
Thank you very much for your kind review and recommendation. We are delighted to hear that you were pleased with the service you received and that Marcus and Chloe were able to support you through the probate process . We will be sure to pass on your comments to them. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
Probate. Despite Kingsfords having drawn up our will, they immediately ignored it and the trust that had been set up, and were going to transfer the property into my sole ownership. They also drew up the wrong financial information to send to HMRC despite having a hard copy of our accounts at the date of death. The sums were correct but allocated to incorrect accounts which could have affected me in the future if HMRC queried accounts that they hadn't been notified of. Clearly this was a distressing time for myself and my family, and having to send paperwork back for substantial errors to be corrected added to distress and delays to probate
We are sorry to read that you feel disappointed with aspects of the service you received during what we appreciate can be a very difficult and emotional time for families dealing with probate matters. We take accuracy and client care extremely seriously and, where any issues are identified, we work promptly with clients to clarify and resolve them. Due to our professional obligations of confidentiality, we are unable to comment on the details of any individual matter in a public forum. However, we are always happy to discuss concerns directly and encourage you to contact us so that we can address them fully.
Kellie has represented me on numerous occasions, and she is my go-to conveyancer. She and her team are simply fantastic. I will look nowhere else.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Orrett. We really appreciate it!

Our conveyancer, Celia, was absolutely outstanding throughout the purchase of our property. She was consistently prompt, efficient, and highly professional at every stage of the process. Communication was clear and timely, and she ensured that we were kept fully informed and reassured from start to finish. Even when things weren’t straightforward, she helped the sale progress smoothly and managed everything exceptionally well. Her attention to detail and proactive approach made what can often be a stressful experience feel straightforward and well-managed. We are extremely grateful for her expertise and would not hesitate to recommend her services.
