Excellent solicitor Roberta Gandolfi

I am extremely grateful for the support and guidance I received from Mrs. Roberta Gandolfi. The solicitor was professional, approachable, and always available to answer my questions. Their expertise and dedication made a stressful situation much easier to manage. Especially for a property with underpinning and probate issues. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and effective legal representation.

Dear Fatos, Really pleased to hear that Roberta was able to provide such dedicated and expert support through what sounds like a particularly complex situation. Thank you for your recommendation! Kind regards, Setfords

Hidden costs and ghosting

We went with Setfords because they had a good review on Trust pilot. They started off good and then as soon as they had the first payment they didn’t answer any calls or emails. This included urgent calls and emails from not only ourselves but from the other solicitors and estate agents involved in our move. We were given a date to move and then we were told 4 days before that date that it wasn’t going ahead as nobody could get in contact with our solicitors. Setfords then added a charge to our bill for the change of this date which wasn’t our fault but there’s. Anyone reading this, I would advise you to avoid Setfords and go with another company.

I recently worked with Sara William-Audisho at Setfords on a charge over a property and was thoroughly impressed with the service. From start to finish, she was friendly, approachable, and made the whole process feel straightforward. Communication was always clear and timely, and everything was handled with great efficiency. It gave me real peace of mind knowing the matter was in such capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for professional and reliable legal support.

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!

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.
