Solving Land Registry issue

We were unable to complete the sale of my mother’s house to pay for her care. The Land Registry made life difficult and Amanda found a colleague with appropriate knowledge and skills to resolve it through working at a Senior level at the LR which enable the sale to be completed rapidly.

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.

in March 2023, I instructed Mr. Daniel Frederiksen of Setfords to handle the conveyancing for my purchase of the property, Due to what can only be described as fundamental negligence and a profound lack of care, Mr. Frederiksen incorrectly registered my name with HM Land Registry. My legal and correct name is Law XXX XXX. However, he registered me only as Law XXX. This is not a minor spelling mistake but a material alteration of the proprietor's identity on the official title register. I discovered this error in October 2025 and immediately contacted Mr. Frederiksen. His response (see Evidence A) was utterly unprofessional and unacceptable. He dismissively informed me that the error would "be corrected in the future at the time of any remortgage or sale." This is patently false and professionally reckless. It demonstrates a deliberate attempt to avoid his responsibility to correct a significant legal defect he created, pushing the burden and future risk entirely onto me.

Excellent service from Margarita and her team

We engaged Margarita to handle the transaction for our home purchase. Margarita’s team did an amazing job! At every stage of the process, we received clear feedback and answers to all our questions. Her team also addressed all the issues that arose during the property inspection (which we had commissioned independently) and clarified any unclear points with the sellers' legal team. I highly recommend Margarita and her team. It was a pleasure working with them — thank you!

The entire experience was smooth and stress-free.

I had the pleasure of working with Tessie Belton, a Chartered Legal Executive for Litigation at Setfords in Guildford, on a disputed property matter. She guided me through every step, making sure I understood the process and that everything was completed perfectly and on time. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free thanks to her full guidance and professionalism. I highly recommend her services!

Dear Harjot, Really glad to hear that Tessie was able to guide you through such a complex matter with such clarity and professionalism. Thank you for your recommendation! Kind regards, Setfords

Sharon brings calm to the chaos of moving

Moving is, they say, one of the most stressful experiences of your life. Naively, we thought we’d be okay as we had a very small chain and we’d been through the process a few times before in the past. We were wrong. The world of house buying has moved on in the last decade and we were not equipped to deal with the chaos that was about to rain down on our heads. Enter Sharon and calm was restored. She is professional, a great communicator and utterly calm in the face of what continually feels like impending doom and disaster when you are trying to buy a house and sell your house to fund it. No question is too daft (I know because I asked them all) and each was answered with the same patience and professionalism. Sharon led us through the process step by step and was quick to respond to any queries or concerns along the way. When it came to signing documents, she was at the end of the phone to guide us through it and help this Luddite work out what I’d done wrong! If you are looking to move house, you need Sharon in your life (or at least your contact list!) Thank you Sharon for making what could have been a really stressful life event more straightforward and easy to navigate.

Excellent Conveyance Solicitor

I approached Karisma online as I needed a conveyance solicitor for my flat. I have used several solicitors for this over the years but from the offset her personal communication was absolutely first class, she ensured that communication was thorough and that’s what a client needs as I have had to chase information up with previous solicitors. I personally felt that she informed me of each step and it was very smooth so I intend to now use Karisma with the sale of my main residence and future properties, an absolute asset to the company and fully recommend her professional services.
