Kate Herbert delivered an exceptional service from start to finish. Set about the task in a professional manner, dealt with every query I had and completed the entire job in good time also. My second time working with Kate, and I will definitely continue to work with her in the future. Can’t rate highly enough, thank you again Kate!

Highly recommended conveyancing solicitor

I was planning to buy a property that was being marketed through the Modern Method of Auction and came across Setfords Solicitors, where I was assigned Karisma as my conveyancing solicitor. Karisma was excellent from beginning to end. She was extremely thorough, professional and reassuring throughout the whole process of buying my second home. As the property was being sold through the Modern Method of Auction, everything needed to move quickly, and Karisma was excellent at keeping the process on track. She explained everything clearly, kept me updated at every stage and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Karisma is an excellent conveyancing solicitor and I would have no hesitation in recommending her or instructing her again in the future.

Brilliant service!

We used Grainger and Smith for our house sale and purchase. Rebecca was our main contact with Carey stepping in for Rebecca on some occasions. The level of service provided by both Rebecca and Carey was incredible! We never once had to 'chase' them for an update. They kept us up to date regularly, even if it was just to inform us that they had chased other parts of the chain and were waiting for a response. We cannot recommend them enough - they will always be our first choice for solicitors from now on!

It's great to hear you'll be coming back to us in future. Kind regards, Setfords

Really happy with Setfords! Anna was professional, efficient & dependable. As first time buyers, we quickly realised how stressful the process can be and had been warned about solicitors being generally slow, but we were very grateful to find that this wasn’t the case with Anna. She had us in a position to move about a month ahead of everyone else in the chain, so cannot recommend her service enough.

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

Dear Maya, Congratulations on your first home! It's great to hear Anna's efficiency kept things moving and put you in a position to move well ahead of the rest of the chain. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Kind regards, Setfords
