"I can’t recommend Mark at DFA Law highly enough. He was absolutely brilliant throughout my house sale! Efficient, thorough, and completely on top of every detail. We had some tricky moments and challenges within the chain, but Mark handled everything calmly and professionally,"

Brilliant service from start to finish

Mark was amazing from start to finish, super efficient and brilliant at keeping us in the loop via effective and regular communication. Would highly recommend his services to anyone. Could not have asked for a better selling and buying solicitor. He juggled lots of plates effortlessly and consistently kept on top of chasing lower chain as well as upper chain. Thank you so much Mark.

Sale of my late Mum's bungalow

My sister & I were the executors for my Mum's estate. Mark was very approachable from the start & we felt confident that the bungalow sale was in good hands. Mark met with us at the DFA offices to complete paperwork & was even willing to bring paperwork to me as I live in another town & don't own a car. Mark's professionalism ensured a very difficult task was made easier for us & we are very grateful for that. I would recommend Mark & DFA wholeheartedly.

An excellent all round experience!

A first rate service. Everything was complete in a professional and timely way to ensure that our Power of Attorney documents were written and registered. We have also used DFA Law for a house sale and purchase as well as for preparing our Wills and these services were also undertaken in the same efficient and professional manner.

Consistently Excellent Service – Four Years On I first used DFA Law around four years ago and left a positive review at the time. Having now returned to them for another property transaction, I am genuinely pleased to say that the same high standard of service is still there. Natalie Grant handled my recent matters with professionalism, efficiency and genuine care throughout. Communication was always clear, responses were prompt, and everything was dealt with smoothly from start to finish. I had two linked property transactions to complete, and Natalie managed everything extremely well. What made it even more reassuring was that the estate agent also commented on how impressed they were with the way Natalie and DFA Law handled the transaction. It is easy to provide good service once, but maintaining that same standard over a number of years says a lot about a firm. This is exactly why I am a returning client and would happily use DFA Law again. A very well-deserved five stars for Natalie Grant and the team. Highly recommended.

I used DFA Law for their conveyancing services on my recent house move and found them efficient, thorough and professional from the outset. Not everything was straight forward with the purchase but DFA had it all covered and were on hand every step to ensure I was informed and well advised. Highly recommended

Dismal response

I wait in vain for a call back from my urgent enquiry almost a week ago. I phoned twice, the first time to be told the team members were in a meeting. Their representative promised to email the details of my case to them and that the team would decide upon the most appropriate member to take on my case, and reply. One and a half hours later with no response and 10 minutes before their closing time, I phoned again to be told that I would get the call soonest the next morning. No such call came. I chose DFA simply because of their marketing leaflet found in the hospital bereavement pack after my mother’s death. The extravagant claims made in that leaflet bear no relation to the reality of their dismal response. Needless to say, I have found an alternative company who have the courtesy to reply, respond and deal with my enquiry efficiently.

We are sorry to read the above and that we were not able to assist you. Whilst you are not a client of this firm, we would like to look into this further and would request that you provide further information by email to: info@dfalaw.co.uk in order that we can investigate. Thank you

Bridging loan

I couldn’t have asked for better service from Mark on my recent bridging loan. From start to finish, communication was excellent, I was kept informed at every stage and never left wondering what was happening with my application. What stood out most was how well he understood the urgency of my situation; bridging finance often comes down to speed, and he treated the timeline with the seriousness it deserved. Professional, responsive, and genuinely on top of things throughout. Highly recommended
