Excellent and professional service.

Excellent advice on wills and inheritance tax. Sophie Booker was clear, knowledgeable, and highly professional throughout. Arranging our first meeting was quick and easy, and Sophie responded promptly to our enquiry. She listened patiently to our needs and questions and provided clear, practical advice tailored to our circumstances. Her expertise in wills and inheritance tax was evident, and she explained everything in a straightforward way that gave us complete confidence in our decisions. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone seeking expert legal advice in this area.

We can’t thank Lauren and the team at Setfords enough for their support in selling our late brother’s house. From start to finish, Lauren was professional, compassionate, and incredibly efficient, guiding us through what was an emotional and sometimes overwhelming process. She kept us well-informed at every stage and made everything as smooth and stress-free as possible. We’re so grateful for her kindness and expertise during a difficult time, and we would not hesitate to recommend Lauren and Setfords to anyone looking for a caring and highly capable solicitor.

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!

Dear Catherine, Thank you for such a warm review.

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

Emily and the team at Setfords were incredibly supportive, professional, prompt and helped us buy & sell our properties in an incredible swift and thorough way this summer. It meant we could commit and deliver on very short timeline that our chain required to happen. A personal best for us and I think most of the stage agents & professionals involved. I strongly recommend them to support your legal needs too.
