I have recently exchanged on a property and am very grateful for the excellent service that Emily Walker and Felicity Taylor gave me. There was a very tight target deadline to meet, and Emily was focussed, diligent and responsive throughout the process. When we met for the signing, she gave me thorough, clear answers to all my last-minute questions with patience and warmth. Thank you.

I had a FTB stamp duty deadline which was extremely tight and Matthew and Dawn helped me reach it in time without a hitch. It was clear advice and service at a fair and reasonable price point.

Farnfields Solicitors have acted for me on two separate occasions within the last two years for property purchases. During both transactions I was given clear information and advice promptly and with efficiency. The first ‘purchase’ was terminated at quite a late stage (my decision) and I was feeling highly stressed about that decision. Nonetheless, I was treated with great kindness, respect and understanding when concluding matters. Some time later I needed to appoint a solicitor for another purchase and Farnfields were more than happy to act again for me, without hesitation. I'm pleased to say that I'm currently sat between exchange of contracts and completion with my purchase. From my experiences, I have no hesitation in recommending Farnfields Solicitors to provide an excellent conveyancing service, and I would highly recommend the highly-efficient Emily Walker, who was ably assisted by Callum Clark but now by Felicity Taylor. Thank you Farnfields.

We had been recommended Emily Walker from Farnfields solicitor, Warminster office, to handle our conveyancing and we were so pleased that we did. Emily has been exceptional throughout. We have bought and sold properties before with little fuss but this proved to be an extremely difficult sale and purchase due to complications on either side. Emily, Callum and the team were all professional, responsive and diligent. Emily held both our sale and purchase together in some very difficult circumstances. She always kept her cool despite being put under unrealistic time pressures but her attention to detail still never faltered. We quickly realised we could always trust her judgement, that she had our backs and always got issues resolved. She went above and beyond, especially for me personally due to health issues. She made time to make sure I fully understood what was going on and was a massive emotional support throughout. April & Paul

I was not a client of Farnfields LLP and yet I was able to get an appointment within a day or two of my initial phone enquiry. When I made that first call, the receptionist said that someone would call me back - and they did, within a few hours. A meeting was arranged with Meril George and she was excellent. She understood what I wanted and that there was some urgency to it. Meril was very thorough in her explanation of the process and I felt I was in good hands immediately. Remarkably, my matter was opened, dealt with, and closed within the day. Superb all round.

Kathryn did an amazing job with our recent property sale. She kept us fully informed, was easy to contact and always responded to any questions or issues that arose. From acceptance of offer to completion took 11 weeks and this ensured that our buyer had her wish to move in before Christmas.

Kathryn has been dealing with the sale and onward purchase and has been exceptional. No question is ever any bother, and she has really helped make the process feel as simple as it can be. This is the third time I have used them and will definitely use them again in the future.

I recently visited Farnfields Solicitors, and I had a wonderful experience. The solicitor I met ( Meril George) was very friendly, professional, and handled everything quickly and without any issues. The entire process was smooth, and I felt well taken care of throughout. I highly recommend their services!

It has been a real pleasure working with Tamasine Hankey with regard to my mother’s estate and trust fund. She has been so helpful and supportive over the past 2 years. She has always answered any queries as promptly as possible and I have been extremely grateful for her professionalism and her ability to empathise with my situation. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for us Tamasine.

Highly recommend Emily Walker at Farnfields, who has successfully acted on our behalf on multiple occasions. Excellent communication and a straightforward process every time.

Paid these guys over £20k to make an absolute mess of my case and take no responsibility for.
Asked Meril George to send a simple letter for me at a cost, for which she effectively told me to clear off, not interested. Shambles of a company and a very stuck up associate. Opitimises someone who gets a degree at uni and thinks they are above you.

I have been thoroughly impressed with Farnfields during my recent house purchase. Sarah Clarke (along with the assistance of Callum Clark) has put in a tremendous amount of time and effort to work through the process in a timely manner, whilst also providing clear communications with progress updates and answers to my questions. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family.
