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.

Thank you Ajesh!

We could not recommend Ajesh more highly. We worked together on the purchase of our first home, and he made the entire experience seamless. He took great care to explain every detail and document, ensuring we felt comfortable and confident at every step. Ajesh is a truly experienced professional with a great calming manner.

Brilliant Service

Laura was brilliant. She was easy to communicate with and was knowledgeable. I was selling leasehold and buying freehold in London. My buyer's solicitors were not the easiest to deal with, but Laura did a great job keeping them on track and we got it done. Costs were fair transparent from the outset and there were no surprise fees down the line. I would highly recommend Laura and will be doing so to my friends and family for conveyancing.

Dear Oliver, Great to hear Laura was so easy to communicate with and knowledgeable throughout your leasehold sale and freehold purchase, especially in keeping things on track despite a tricky buyer's solicitor. Good to know the costs stayed fair and transparent too, with no surprises along the way. Thank you for recommending Laura so highly to friends and family. Kind regards, Setfords

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.

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.
