Unbeatable conveyancing service. Can genuinely recommend

Kellie Darke is quick, efficient and doesn't suffer slow conveyancers from the 'other side' gladly! Really easy to deal with and answered my dumb questions kindly and promptly.

Excellent Service

We had used Kingsfords previously for other issues but not for conveyancing. We engaged Kingsfords to deal with the sale of a second property, which through no fault of ours or Kingsfords, turned out to be a long process with our first buyers pulling out midway through proceedings. The service that we received throughout the whole process was excellent and very professional. Donna and her colleagues in the conveyancing team were always contactable, responded quickly to emails and dealt with everything efficiently and professionally to get the sale completed. We would recommend Kingsfords.

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.

Thank you for leaving such a positive review. All feedback is very important to us. We may use your phrase "Where other say no, Kingsfords say yes" as a marketing strap line! We are happy to be of assistance as needs arise.

My purchase was managed flawlessly by Donna Trewerne, with assistance from Celia Willcock during Donna's annual leave. By far the best conveyancing experience I have had!

Donna Trewerne, ably assisted by Helen Wilson, of Kingsfords in Ashford recently completed my purchase of a flat in the town. Complicated issues emerged during the transaction but Donna dealt with everything in a calm and reassuring way. She handled my purchase throughout in a most professional, efficient and speedy manner. I would certainly recommend Donna, and Kingsfords, for a property purchase.

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.

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.
