Not only did they help get me a great interest rate in today's market, all came together and pushed for results to complete by 1st April which meant I avoided the stamp duty fees. Could not be more happier and look forward to working with them again in 2 years.

Overall very attentive and got the job done; however, had to chase at the end to ensure completion had gone through as wasn't given confirmation from the other party they had received the money and acknowledgement of completion

We’re so grateful to Fairstep Solicitors for all their support and professionalism throughout the process of buying our first home. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions and uncertainties, but the team was always responsive, clear, and incredibly helpful from start to finish.
They kept us updated at every stage and made what could’ve been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We always felt like we were in safe hands, and their attention to detail gave us real peace of mind.

My wife and I had an excellent introduction to the Wills and LPA services offered by Fairstep, hosted by Mr Patrick Cooney the MD and assisted by Ms Chloe Charles. With their help we were able to quickly identify our needs and draft the necessary documents to our satisfaction. We felt well looked after and were reassured by Fairstep’s calm professional advice.

We were trying to complete our sale and purchase before the stamp duty increase which applied to completions after 31 March. Because of difficulties elsewhere in the chain, this turned out to be problematic for all concerned, but Fairstep were successful in getting the job done and all was well. It was a great relief when we received that all important completion notification!

Before selling my property, I had no idea what I was doing - now it's sold, I still have no clue but it hasnt mattered once because I feel like I've just been taken care of from start to finish, whilst the team have just smoothly sorted everything to a professional standard. Thanks very much to Leia and Gemma for being such terrific solicitors.
