We used Fairstep recently to help sell our rental property. Their service was high quality and excellent value. We were provided with calm and authoritative advice and kept well informed through the process.

Excellent firm great communication got all done in super quick time Highly recommend
Used for conveyancing having been recommended by estate agent. Very quick to act at the beginning of the process, good email communication. Once near to exchange & completion very efficient in sending electronic documents to be signed and good communication on exchange & completion day. Only one negative in that I emailed a question which didn’t relate directly to the sale of the property which I did have to chase a couple of times.
Claire, thank you for your kind comments and overall positive review. We strive to offer the highest levels of customer service and apologise for the delayed response to your email. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Excellent service for a house sale. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone needing conveyancing.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Chris. And, thank you for the recommendation!
I dealt with Charlene during my staircasing process with my shared ownership property. She was always quick to reply to any requests or emails and always very pleasant to deal with. She went the extra mile and helped push things through quicker which was a bonus, which helped save me some money. I will definitely recommend Fairstep to anyone I know when it comes to staircasing or shared ownership!
Ciaran, thank you for your review. We're glad you had a very positive experience with Fairstep Solicitors. We really appreciate your kind comments and will pass these on to Charlene.
Absolute circus from beginning to end for my conveyancing. Initially they got all my paperwork wrong by spelling my name wrong which created delays. I had to continually phone them to chase them up and they never got back to me. At one point they hadn’t done anything for two weeks as they said they were asking for a payment that they never sent an invoice for. Then there was the absolute joke of submitting money sources. There were delays, repeated requests for things I had already submitted. They would never be available if I called them. Gemma never gave me any advice help or guidance throughout the whole process. Then the kicker was a WEEK before I was supposed to complete she emails me on the Friday and says some of my funds weren’t eligible as they were gifted. Despite the fact they had known this for the last six weeks. All she said in the email was ‘how do you want to proceed?’ At end of business on the Friday. No advice what could be done or how to get round the problem. This continued into the next week where she finally answered my countless emails stressed to the hilt and asked for all my bank statements again with no exchange date 4 workings days to completion. So basically in a nutshell they lost me my house purchase due to their incompetence and lack of professionalism. Absolutely gutted and enraged. A formal complaint will go in to the ombudsman after I sort the mess out and find another home.
Thank you for your review. We strive to offer the highest levels of customer service. We are sorry that we didn't meet your expected standards on this occasion.
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.
We're really pleased we were able to support you through the legal process of your house purchase. Many thanks for choosing Fairstep Solicitors.

Making a Will is always a bit daunting but I was guided as to the best solution for me. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was clearly explained to me.
