I was recommended by my mortgage advisor to use fairstep solicitor Limited is they are very good and he highly recommended them. They were so good and kept you informed of all the process that was happening. I want to also thank you Gemma who she was looking after my account and she was very helpful and very professional at her work. They are very reasonable and I’ll always recommend and I’ll always use them again as they are very professional very polite clear communication and when everything was going through my final payment, they rang me just to make sure that if I have received the balance of the money that they needed to transfer. Thank you again for all your help and support. We always use and very highly recommend recommended..
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 was very pleased with Fairstop Solicitors and nothing was too much trouble. They were friendly and very helpful so would certainly recommend them. Thank you very much.
Although I ultimately had to withdraw from the property purchase, I was consistently impressed by the fast and efficient service provided by Gemma and Charlotte at Fairstep. They were always prompt in responding to emails and kept me well informed throughout. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and the way they handled the entire process.
I instructed Fairstep to deal with a remortgage, just over 2 weeks out from my desired switch date - Shaun Torrie handled my matters brilliantly and was fantastic in ensuring that the switch was achieved on time. Highly recommend.
Absolutely brilliant experience with the sale and purchase of my properties. The whole conveyancing team where brilliant, however I have to pick out Charlotte individually as she is an asset to the team. She replies to your enquiries so quickly and is always keeping you up to date. Wouldn't think twice to use them again 😊 Thank you

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.
