Superb in every aspect.

This is the 4th house conveyancing that Kellie and her team have done for us. On one occasion a rare obscure technical issue others had missed ,was spotted. So important that we stopped the purchase. Whenever we contact the office they are clearly happy to help with the query, and, as a team are cheerful and determined to take pressure off the client; a welcome feeling on which to end a phone call. We have absolute confidence in the knowledge and abilities of Kellie and her team.

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.

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.

A wholehearted recommendation of Donna Trewerne who was responsible for the conveyancing of the properties I recently bought and sold. Highly professional, super-efficient, actually picks up the phone when you call . . . I felt throughout that I was in a safe pair of hands. Many thanks also to her assistant Helen, equally competent and quick to respond.

Hi Charlie, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We do very much 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.

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.
