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.

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

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 and a Smooth House Purchase

We had a great experience with the team during the purchase of our home. They were professional, responsive, and kept us informed throughout the process. The house purchase was completed within the planned timeframe, and everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. We would happily recommend their services.

It's difficult to put into words just how exceptional Jacqueline Batchelor is. The care, dedication and reassurance she gave us throughout our home purchase went far beyond what we ever expected, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Jacqueline took the time to understand what was important to us and treated our purchase as if it were her own. As first-time buyers, we naturally had lots of questions, but she was always available to help, explaining everything clearly and making sure we felt informed and confident throughout the process. Her communication was outstanding. We never once had to chase her for an update because she was always one step ahead. Whether something was urgent or routine, she responded quickly and kept us fully informed every step of the way. What impressed us most was her ability to find solutions and keep things moving. Whenever something unexpected came up, Jacqueline calmly worked through the options, explained everything clearly and found practical ways to keep us on track. We also had a completion deadline that was incredibly important to us, and she worked tirelessly to help us achieve it while ensuring we fully understood every decision being made. Perhaps the quality we valued most was that Jacqueline was never influenced by outside pressure. Whether it was estate agents, sellers or tight timescales, her focus never changed. She wasn't interested in taking shortcuts or simply getting the transaction completed; her priority was making sure everything was right for us and that our interests were always protected. As first-time buyers, we'd heard countless horror stories about buying a house. Thanks to Jacqueline, we don't have one. Instead, we had a solicitor who genuinely cared, communicated brilliantly and guided us through every stage of the process with professionalism and confidence. Looking back, we realise just how lucky we were to have had Jacqueline by our side. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience feel organised, manageable and reassuring from start to finish. If you're looking for a solicitor who will put your interests first, keep you informed and give you complete confidence throughout the process, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jacqueline.

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

Dear Aharon, What a wonderful review. We're so pleased to hear that Jacqueline was able to make your first home purchase such a positive and reassuring experience from start to finish. Her dedication to keeping your interests front and centre, even under pressure, is exactly the kind of service we're proud to offer. Thank you for taking the time to share such heartfelt feedback and congratulations on your new home! Kind regards, Setfords

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.
