Very Impressed

Chloe steered us through the process of making Wills and LPAs with great professionalism and efficiency whilst also being very kind at a time when we had suffered bereavement as well. It was a pleasure dealing with her, and we would highly recommend her services.

Outstanding Service.

Having been disappointed by another firm regarding updating our wills, my wife and I contacted Fairstep. What a difference! Oleksandra was friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and amazingly quick when we explained we had a holiday booked and would really like things done before we went. Yes, all done perfectly, with plenty of time to spare. All the staff we met were lovely. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We used Fairstep Solicitors for our mortgage as first-time buyers, so everything was new to us. Lee and the whole team were amazing, very supportive with all our enquiries and highly organised in keeping track of the remaining steps. We felt well guided throughout the process. Highly recommend!

I had a very positive experience with the team throughout my first house purchase journey. I worked with them on two separate matters, and on both occasions they were professional, supportive, and helpful. The first purchase unfortunately did not proceed due to an issue with the documents, but they provided excellent advice and guidance throughout the process, which I truly appreciated. Because of that experience, I chose to work with them again for my second house purchase, and the process went smoothly overall. Towards the end, things became a little slower than I expected, and I had to follow up on some steps many times. However, I understand that the final stages of a property purchase can sometimes be like this. Overall, I am very happy with their service and support. They were reliable, professional, and helped make the process much easier. I would happily recommend them and give them full stars.
