Lasting powers of attorney for older people could be a bit overwhelming. Not in our case, they were easy to deal with good communication and in a way you can understand. Would recommend and use again.
Good value for money and just nice people.

Shelley from Frettens was professional and easy to work with throughout the process. However, it’s important to be aware that if your sale or purchase falls through—even at the last minute—they will still charge 75% of their fee.
I was disappointed when our initial sale collapsed just before the exchange of contracts, but it was even more of a shock to find we were still liable for a substantial fee, plus full fee was charged for the second sale. Just a word of warning: make sure you read the small print in their terms and conditions carefully.

Our bright team are not only experts in their field, but excellent communicators with a positive, can-do approach to helping clients. The team use plain English and don’t hide behind unnecessarily complex ‘legalese’. As a client, you will always have your lawyer's name, email, and direct contact number for ease of access. Your first meeting with us is always free. People shouldn’t be put off seeking legal advice for fear of being charged to be told they don’t have a case.
