As first time buyers, the process of purchasing a home felt daunting at first, but working with Farnfields Solicitor made all the difference.
From start to finish, they were a steady, reassuring presence and guided us through every step with clarity, patience, and in a very professional way.
They took the time to explain everything in a way we could understand, no matter how many questions we had. Nothing ever felt rushed or overlooked. Communication was always prompt and transparent, which helped ease our worries and build confidence throughout the journey.
It was clear that Helen and Danielle genuinely cared about getting everything right for us, not just legally, but personally. Their attention to detail, diligence, and warm approach turned what could have been a stressful process into a really positive experience.
We’re so grateful for their support in helping us achieve such an important milestone. We would absolutelly recommend to anyone, especially fellow first time buyers looking for someone who can be trusted. We actually recommended already to our friends and our mortgage broker.
Thank you again for everything!

I dealt with Abbey Starr at Farnfields while selling my mother's house on her behalf. Abbey kept me in touch with progress and clarified the process for me , which I really appreciated, and regularly chased up the buyer's solicitors during a couple of hold-ups. I'm grateful for all her work and patience; she also advised me appropriately about the failings of a different legal firm in their handling of an LPA. Abbey was professional and prompt throughout, and I would thoroughly recommend Farnfields.

Lucy Brown was excellent when dealing with my case. Lucy always put me at ease when I had concerns and questions, the communication was excellent and I always knew where things were in regards to the case. Lucy made a stressful period of my life less stressful and I’m very thankful for everything and also the end result.

Joanna Shortland and her assistant, Daniella Flintan, handled the conveyancing of my property over a six month period culminating in the successful exchange and completion in November 2024.
I could not have wished either for a better outcome or for the calm and courteous professionalism with which the one or two difficulties we encountered were dealt with.
I have no hesitation at all in recommending Farnfields for any property transaction in the future.

My brother and I have recently reached completion on my mother's house. The process was lengthy due to the first chain breaking down and complex, due to us having to act as Power of Attorney for the sale. The patience, guidance and advice we received from Abbey Starr and Julie Hinchliffe was always very supportive, and without them, I don't think we would be over the finish line now. Thank you so much. Jill Darby

I'm pleased to say that dealing with Farnfields Solicitors for the purchase of our house was I delight.
I had heard so many horrific stories of having to chase Solicitors but this was not the case.
Sandra and Emma both worked extremely hard with our case and were both extremely professional and polite individuals.
Thank you Sandra and Emma your both true assets to Farnfields

Abbey Starr makes you feel like you are her only client . Incredibly detailed, responsive and tenacious for your particular case. Making a stressful and difficult conveyancing so much easier. You feel you are in a safe pair of hands with Abbey from the start. She is so personable and someone you feel good picking up the phone and talking to. She’s good at anticipating problems before they occur and clearly discussing plans of actions with you through sone very thorny woods indeed. Highly recommended . Estate agents are keen to work with her .

During the last year we've had the pleasure of both Daniella and Joanna working on firstly a property purchase and then a couple of months later, a property sale on behalf of my father. Both were complex, in different ways (one more than the other), but I cannot fault the professionalism and patience of both of them in what ended up being a particularly stressful time for our family. In fact, I don't think we would have got the sale over the line without them. I would definitely use Farnfields again.
