Hidden costs and ghosting

We went with Setfords because they had a good review on Trust pilot. They started off good and then as soon as they had the first payment they didn’t answer any calls or emails. This included urgent calls and emails from not only ourselves but from the other solicitors and estate agents involved in our move. We were given a date to move and then we were told 4 days before that date that it wasn’t going ahead as nobody could get in contact with our solicitors. Setfords then added a charge to our bill for the change of this date which wasn’t our fault but there’s. Anyone reading this, I would advise you to avoid Setfords and go with another company.

Amazing service

Samantha was great every step of the process of buying a house (twice because my first purchase fell through). Everything was fast, efficient and without any errors. She was also great at replying to my emails and very reassuring to all my worries as a first time buyer. It was so nice to not worry about what was going on with the legal side of things!

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

Dear Louisa, Having to go through the process twice after a fall-through is incredibly frustrating, and it sounds like Samantha made sure the second time around was as smooth and stress-free as possible. Really pleased it all came together in the end! Thank you for your kind words and congratulations on your new home! Kind regards, Setfords

A safe pair of hands

Dilpesh Shah at Setfords handled a potential property purchase for me and was thorough and careful to examine and investigate each detail, which led to his advising me not to proceed. I am very grateful to have swerved a future nightmare situation and potential future financial loss. I’ll be returning to Dilpesh when I find another property to buy.

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

Dear Siobhan, Sometimes the most valuable advice is knowing when not to proceed, and it sounds like Dilpesh's thoroughness saved you from a very difficult situation. Really pleased to hear you felt so well looked after. Thank you for your kind words! Kind regards, Setfords

I had the pleasure of working with Emma (S) for our recent sale and purchase. She was professional, thorough and an absolute pleasure to deal with with no detail overlooked. Our trust in Emma was extremely well placed and would have no hesitation in recommending Emma at Setfords for absolute peace of mind.

Laura at Setfords handled our move. Couldn't speak more highly of her. Not only did she manage our side of our sale and purchase, she also managed the other sellers and buyers solicitors ensuring our move went as smoothly as possible. Highly recommend.

First time buyer so pretty clueless on the whole process. Kerrie was great. Did a really good job, seemed very thorough and took the time to answer my questions. Whole thing start to finish was done in a little over two months. Price seemed very competitive as well. Had a slight snag at the start with some of the initial details needing correcting on the backend system, but Kerrie chased that up and got it sorted, and kept us updated throughout.

I had a very disappointing experience with this firm while purchasing a property. After agreeing to use their services, communication was slow and progress felt unnecessarily delayed. When I followed up to ask for updates and raised concerns, instead of addressing the issues, my case was transferred to an entirely different law firm outside of their organisation. This caused further disruption and unnecessary stress during an already time-sensitive process. I was also unhappy with how my funds were handled, as they tried to keep my funds without delivering. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional and poorly managed. I would not recommend this firm based on my experience.

Lili was extremely thorough and knowledgeable and wanted the best for us as first time buyers. I was able to contact her directly by telephone which was always extremely easy and she replied to my emails usually within the hour. Would recommend to anyone.

I cannot recommend Sonal Rabheru highly enough. From start to finish, she has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is professional, efficient, responsive, and always gets straight to the point. Property transactions can be stressful at the best of times, and I’ll happily admit that I can be quite demanding and like things pushed along as quickly as possible. Throughout the entire process, Sonal handled everything brilliantly, always remaining calm, proactive, and incredibly helpful. Her communication was excellent, her attention to detail was outstanding, and she consistently went above and beyond to keep matters moving forward. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. A huge thank you to Sonal for all her hard work and dedication. I would highly recommend both Sonal personally and Setfords to anyone looking for a first-class solicitor. Genuinely, after this experience, I wouldn't want to work with anyone else. Thank you again, Sonal.

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

Dear Josh, What a glowing tribute. It's great to hear that Sonal was able to match your pace and keep everything moving so proactively throughout. Her calm and dedicated approach clearly made all the difference. Thank you for your wonderful feedback and recommendation! Kind regards, Setfords

Used Michael Compton for what should have been a very simple service for an extraordinary cost compared to others solicitors. I heard nothing from him for a month despite repeated chasing, no work was carried out on my behalf and he significantly delayed the process causing what was already a very stressful time, even more stressful. Avoid.
