Kristine was recommended to me by a friend, to manage the sale of my flat and purchase of my house. She provided an excellent, efficient and professional service and was instrumental in ensuring that potential problems were handled in a manner which gave me full confidence in the process. Her attentiveness, clear communication, sound advice and attention to detail made it a real pleasure to engage with her, and I can recommend her highly. Thank you Kristine, for looking after my interests with such care and attention. I appreciate it, very much.

Ajesh is brilliant - we can't recommend him highly enough.

Ajesh was super proactive and made what could have been a very difficult process incredibly easy. We loved working with him. Our sale and purchase became far more stressful than expected after our buyers' solicitor repeatedly failed to secure mortgage funds in time, causing multiple failed exchange attempts and leaving the whole chain in a very difficult position. Throughout it all, Ajesh was calm, responsive and incredibly pragmatic. He was always available to explain exactly what was happening, the legal implications of each option, and the risks we faced, without ever making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. When the buyers' solicitor proposed an exchange without guaranteeing completion, Ajesh immediately identified the risks and advised us against signing away our legal protections. Looking back, we're very grateful we listened. He kept everything moving with the other solicitors, our estate agents and lender, while keeping us updated at every stage. Even when things were changing hour by hour, we always felt we knew where we stood. Buying and selling a house is stressful enough, but having a solicitor you genuinely trust makes an enormous difference. Ajesh was professional, knowledgeable, patient and always had our best interests at heart. Thanks to his guidance we finally completed successfully, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

Dear Adam and Rebecca, What a difficult chain to navigate, and it's clear Ajesh's calm, pragmatic approach made all the difference in protecting your position, especially when it came to spotting the risks in that proposed exchange. Wonderful to hear he kept everything moving and kept you fully informed throughout, right through to a successful completion. Thank you for your kind words. Kind regards, Setfords

Exceptional service from start to finish

Margarita Ivanova made what could have been a stressful mortgage and conveyancing process feel straightforward from beginning to end. She was professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. Everything was explained clearly in a way that was easy to understand, and I always felt informed about the progress of my case. Her communication was excellent throughout, and I really appreciated how proactive she was in keeping things moving. It was reassuring to know I could contact her directly whenever I needed clarification, and she always took the time to provide clear and honest advice. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and would highly recommend Margarita and Setfords to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient conveyancing solicitor. Thank you for making the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

Used them for our conveyancing. Considering the amount of money paid, it felt like we were doing a lot of chasing and were not kept in the loop. As first time buyers we felt quite unsupported. Our elusive case handler, Naq, who was recommended to us by our first estate agent appears to have been good mates with him, and was very difficult to get a hold of in the first few months. Roberta did help us out towards the end even though she was on holiday which we appreciated. Our first 2 purchases did not go ahead and we felt the cancellation fees were rather high.

As first time buyers, Samantha Laker at Setfords guided us through the buying process with the utmost care and professionalism. Despite the inevitable challenges and delays that arose, she remained professional, supportive and communicative throughout. We had the misfortune of having 2 property purchases fall through before finally succeeding on this third, and each time we chose to return to Samantha for conveyancing, having been so impressed with her from the start. It is thanks to her attention to detail and meticulous eye that we were saved from years of regret being stuck with the wrong property. We couldn’t be more happy with our new home and feel incredibly grateful to Samantha, who we could not have done it without! We would recommend her without hesitation.
