Sale of property

I had the privilege of engaging Gayle's services for the sale of my property. From our initial interaction, Gayle demonstrated professionalism and provided a superior level of service. Throughout the process, she maintained transparent communication, ensuring I remained fully informed at every stage. I unequivocally endorse Gayle's services and will actively recommend her to others seeking exceptional real estate assistance.

Satisfied clients

We have no hesitation in giving Farnfield's a five star review
We are long standing clients and are always very satisfied with the service we receive.
In our recent dealings for a residential conveyancing we have no complaints, and would like to thank Matthew and Dawn for enabling a smooth conclusion, especially with the slight delay at the end.
This was through no fault of theirs and was dealt with in their usual calm and professional way.
Would have no hesitation in recommending Farnfields solicitors to anyone, and in fact have done so in the past.

Emily Walker and her assistant Callum were very efficient during the whole process of selling my house. All paperwork and details were completed well in good time to allow for the exchange and completion to be executed at the time required. I would recommend Emily to any one, very easy to work with. Thank you

We asked Farnfields to represent us during our house sell and I couldn’t fault them. Matthew Dunford was superb throughout, keeping us updated with key points and accommodating the many questions we threw at him. He was quick to chase our buyers solicitors, keep Redrow updated and was quick to get things rolling, especially knowing there was pressure to get this move done in good time.

Matt’s knowledge was fantastic and really helped us understand what each step meant for us. Would strongly recommend!
