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.

Lili was extremely thorough and knowledgeable and wanted the best for us as first time buyers. I was able to contact her directly by telephone which was always extremely easy and she replied to my emails usually within the hour. Would recommend to anyone.

Ongoing Court Case

I am currently still going through the court process for a driving offence but I cannot speak highly enough of Setfords in particular my solicitor Richard Hull. From Day 1 of speaking to him to where the process is now Richard has been clear, concise and most importantly reassuring about the whole process breaking down and explaining everything to me in detail at every step we get to. I have been an emotional wreck at times throughout and at all times Richard is a natural at calming me by simply explaining everything in a way I am able to understand and process. I still have a way to go but would absolutely not be who I am in this process if it wasn’t for Richard. I cannot recommend Setfords and Richard enough.

I cannot recommend Sonal Rabheru highly enough. From start to finish, she has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is professional, efficient, responsive, and always gets straight to the point. Property transactions can be stressful at the best of times, and I’ll happily admit that I can be quite demanding and like things pushed along as quickly as possible. Throughout the entire process, Sonal handled everything brilliantly, always remaining calm, proactive, and incredibly helpful. Her communication was excellent, her attention to detail was outstanding, and she consistently went above and beyond to keep matters moving forward. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. A huge thank you to Sonal for all her hard work and dedication. I would highly recommend both Sonal personally and Setfords to anyone looking for a first-class solicitor. Genuinely, after this experience, I wouldn't want to work with anyone else. Thank you again, Sonal.

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

Dear Josh, What a glowing tribute. It's great to hear that Sonal was able to match your pace and keep everything moving so proactively throughout. Her calm and dedicated approach clearly made all the difference. 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.
