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.

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.

Very disappointing experience with Margarita Ivanova and Setfords. After I started asking clarifying questions by email regarding the legal documents and process, the retainer was terminated citing a “breakdown of trust and confidence”. The firm appears to have conflated scrutiny and requests for clarification with a lack of professional trust. I do not agree that asking clarification questions in writing regarding lender requirements and legal structure should reasonably amount to a breakdown of trust and confidence. In a complex property transaction involving a declaration of trust, transfer of funds and lender requirements, requesting written clarification is normal and responsible client risk management, not misconduct or lack of trust. My complaint also took 13 weeks to resolve instead of the stated 8 weeks. The matter is now with the Legal Ombudsman. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this firm based on my experience.

Support during house move

I cannot extol the outstanding professionalism, dedication and support provided by our solicitor throughout our moving process. Consistently going above and beyond (including supporting us through her leave period), everything was just made easy.

EXCELLENT SERVICE

We received an excellent service throughout our sale & purchase. Rachel always answered our phone calls and responded promptly to our emails, dealing with queries and concerns quickly and professionally. Her communication was outstanding, which made a stressful process much easier. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor. In fact, we have already recommended her to family members, who are now using her for their own conveyancing. Rachel was recommended to us by a independent mortgage advisor and we couldn't have been happier with the service we received

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

Dear Susan, Really glad to hear that Rachel's outstanding communication and responsiveness made such a difference throughout your sale and purchase. It's great to know you've already recommended her to family too. Thank you for your kind words! Kind regards, Setfords

Tammi was exceptional - put me at ease throughout the whole process.

I would highly recommend Setfords Solictors. Ryan Hill helped with my first transaction which unfortunately fell through and Tammi Hingston assisted with the transaction that went through. Both Tammi and Ryan were so helpful and supportive throughout the stressful sale of my flat. Thank you both

I recently sold my flat in Bromley while living overseas (USA). Setfords and specifically Sara William Audisho was recommended to handle the sale. I can highly recommend Sara. She made the long distance process straightforward and it went exactly as she advised.

Dear Steve, Managing a property sale from overseas is no small undertaking, and it sounds like Sara made the whole process remarkably straightforward. Thank you for your recommendation! Kind regards, Setfords

Laura was incredibly helpful and reassuring when we bought and sold. She was able to calmly relieve any concerns and offered sound advice. We really enjoyed working with her, and Carol who filled in while Laura was away. Both solicitors were immensely helpful in guiding us through what can be a stressful life event.
