A miracle worker

My purchase was tricky from the start being an attorney sale, but my solicitor Kayleigh was amazing, getting the other side and solar panel company to agree to a deed of variation on the lease which was holding up the sale. Initially the answer was no and there were also other hurdles along the way, but I truly believe that if I'd had any other solicitor, then the sale would likely have fallen through. Even though the other side was slow at getting back to us at times, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I got responses to my emails or calls, and that no question was a silly one or not worth her time. It was very different to the tick box exercise I had expected. She really made time for me as a client and actually cared about my experience and the outcome. She is very knowledgeable and I am sure her attention to detail will also prevent any misunderstandings in future with regard to our parking space, to name but one. There were no unexpected hidden costs either, following the initial quote I was given. I would thoroughly recommend instructing Kayleigh as your solicitor.

Excellent service from Sonal at Setfords Guildford.

Outstanding service from Sonal at Setfords Guildford who worked extremely hard on a very fast sale . She was supportive, empathetic and patient. Sonal kept me informed on a daily basis and communication was a strength. A breath of fresh air!!!!

I cannot recommend Emma Morter highly enough. My transfer of equity and remortgage was far from straightforward, but Emma was absolutely brilliant throughout. She was incredibly professional, patient and persistent, constantly chasing matters and doing everything she could to get my case over the line. There were some very stressful moments towards the end, but Emma kept me updated, explained everything clearly and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we completed on time. I am so grateful for everything she did for me and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Thank you so much, Emma!

Fortunately I wasn’t using Setfords but have had the utter misfortune of the buyer of our property using them & they were a shambles, so I wanted to leave a review to warn others. They had a support solicitor on the case who was wildly inept. They would keep stating that all queries were satisfied & only to raise further queries, to a point where everything was ready for exchange & funds just needed to be transferred & then they’d raise another minor query that should’ve been picked up ages ago & when they’d long since said that everything was closed at all. Not entirely sure how they even managed to dress themselves in the morning & get to work, let alone manage the transfer of a property. Somewhere down the line I’m expecting to hear that I actually still own the property along with the new house. Still quite shocked by the madness of it all.

Better than the best

It's been an absolute breath of fresh air dealing with Laila Gutin. So many businesses and companies keep the caller in a queue due to ' high call volumes '....or either have to deal with a 'bot'..... which is so unfair. But having the pleasure of Laila Gutin dealing with our case was an absolute treat.... Laila would answer my emails within minutes and would always answer the phone when I called her. She has been faultless and deserves to be employee of the month......EVERY MONTH. Thank you Laila.

I have just spoken to the most Polite, Patient and helpful lady from Leeds. I am elderly in my 70 +. I do not have clue about modern reference checks, ID checks etc. She was very charming and helped me all the way with carrying photos of my passport etc. Well done, I think this lady is going places in the future and whoever keeps her at work will defiantly benefit from her work.

Jess & Sasha were fantastic in ensuring we had a smooth, stress-free experience with Setfords. They responded to our emails & enquiries without delay, and we felt the process (which could easily feel extremely stressful) was quite the opposite and we found everything ran quickly. We would highly recommend using Setfords.
