Complete confidence throughout my property sale

Living abroad meant I couldn't oversee any aspect of my property sale in person, so choosing the right solicitor was incredibly important. Shahan was perfect for the job. From the outset, he made me feel reassured and confident that everything was being handled properly and that my sale was in good hands. He was always responsive, kept me well informed throughout the process, and took the time difference into account to help avoid any unnecessary delays. His dedication and professionalism made the entire transaction much smoother than I expected. I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Shahan and his team, and I can't recommend DFA Law highly enough.

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

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.

I recently used DFA Law for a family matter (probate and estate administration) and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From the very first call, the team was professional, approachable and clear in explaining everything. My solicitor took the time to understand the full picture, kept me updated regularly, and was realistic about timelines and costs. In what is often a stressful and emotional process, they made it feel manageable and straightforward. The firm has clearly been around for a long time (over 180 years!) but they’re not old-fashioned in their approach β€” everything was handled efficiently with modern communication (email, phone, and secure portal).I particularly appreciated their straightforward fees and no surprise bills. Would definitely recommend DFA Law to anyone in Northamptonshire needing reliable solicitors for wills, probate, family law, or property matters. Highly recommended.
