House sale and purchase experience

Cannot recommend Setfords enough! Alison was originally dealing with my house purchase and was with another solicitor for the sale of my current house, after being unsatisfied with that company Setfords acted upon both sale and purchase. All communications were swift with replies to queries coming through within minutes and hours, not days. Setfords made me feel like a priority through the whole process

Best experience I could wish for

Lucy and her team at Leominster, were absolutely brilliant, and I felt I had the best solicitor I could possibly wish for. She was very efficient, caring, helpful and very professional, as were her team. Thank you very much for helping with my house move and the efficient way any problems were dealt with.

It's difficult to put into words just how exceptional Jacqueline Batchelor is. The care, dedication and reassurance she gave us throughout our home purchase went far beyond what we ever expected, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Jacqueline took the time to understand what was important to us and treated our purchase as if it were her own. As first-time buyers, we naturally had lots of questions, but she was always available to help, explaining everything clearly and making sure we felt informed and confident throughout the process. Her communication was outstanding. We never once had to chase her for an update because she was always one step ahead. Whether something was urgent or routine, she responded quickly and kept us fully informed every step of the way. What impressed us most was her ability to find solutions and keep things moving. Whenever something unexpected came up, Jacqueline calmly worked through the options, explained everything clearly and found practical ways to keep us on track. We also had a completion deadline that was incredibly important to us, and she worked tirelessly to help us achieve it while ensuring we fully understood every decision being made. Perhaps the quality we valued most was that Jacqueline was never influenced by outside pressure. Whether it was estate agents, sellers or tight timescales, her focus never changed. She wasn't interested in taking shortcuts or simply getting the transaction completed; her priority was making sure everything was right for us and that our interests were always protected. As first-time buyers, we'd heard countless horror stories about buying a house. Thanks to Jacqueline, we don't have one. Instead, we had a solicitor who genuinely cared, communicated brilliantly and guided us through every stage of the process with professionalism and confidence. Looking back, we realise just how lucky we were to have had Jacqueline by our side. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience feel organised, manageable and reassuring from start to finish. If you're looking for a solicitor who will put your interests first, keep you informed and give you complete confidence throughout the process, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jacqueline.

Dear Aharon, What a wonderful review. We're so pleased to hear that Jacqueline was able to make your first home purchase such a positive and reassuring experience from start to finish. Her dedication to keeping your interests front and centre, even under pressure, is exactly the kind of service we're proud to offer. Thank you for taking the time to share such heartfelt feedback and congratulations on your new home! Kind regards, Setfords

Awful experience so far. Nearly a year of back and forth and still no completion of property. Paperwork isnt being checked, errors and mistakes that could cause risk to me later that ive had to point out by having someone else check the paperwork thoroughly. Unfortunatly i dont have a choice and stuck with them. They dont care.. you have to chase for responses, not accountability for mistakes theyve made etc. Caused so muxh delay that whikst not all their fault they have contributed. Please avoid if you deserve better service. Will update my review with names etc at a later stage.

We recently completed the sale of our property with Sara William-Audisho acting on our behalf and were extremely impressed with the service we received throughout. The transaction was not without its challenges, including extensive buyer enquiries, multiple surveys, renegotiations and some last-minute issues on completion day. Throughout the process, Sara remained professional, responsive and proactive, providing clear advice and keeping matters moving forward. What particularly stood out was her communication and calm approach under pressure. We always felt informed and confident that our interests were being looked after. Our sales progressor also spoke very highly of Sara throughout the transaction, commenting on several occasions how effective and proactive she was compared to many conveyancers they deal with regularly, which very much reflected our own experience. Thank you, Sara, for helping us achieve a successful completion. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services.

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

Dear Neil, A transaction with that many twists and turns requires a steady hand, and it sounds like Sara delivered exactly that. Really pleased to hear that her calm, proactive approach kept everything on track right through to completion. 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.
