Amazing
I could not fault Helen Phillips at all throughout our entire journey! She was honest and clear from the outset, kept us fully informed at each stage, was always contactable to answer questions & queries and was a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Helen due to her first class service, knowledge and professionalism. She really put us at ease and made what could have been a stressful experience very easy!

Probate patience
Our family used Farnfields Shaftesbury to help us navigate Probate for my Mother in Law's Estate. This was so helpful because we needed to ask the executors (The Bank) to step down and also set up a Deed of Variation which was all handled so professionally and smoothly by Farnfields. They set up an Executors bank account and advised us of the sensible route to disburse the money within the family. We couldn't have done this without Farnfields. Patience, face to face meetings and email made the whole process manageable.

Good Firm of Family Solicitors
We have used Farnfields as our solicitors for over 20 years. Chris Pleasants and Clare Cross from their Gillingham office recently handled, professionally and efficiently, the completion of our new house and I can highly recommend this family solicitors firm to anybody looking for legal services in the area.

Excellent Service for Both Buying and Selling!
I have had an excellent experience working with Ella-Rose Sitch and Lucy Liney, both for the purchase of my first flat and now its sale. They were incredibly efficient, and approachable throughout both processes. Their communication was clear, timely, and always reassuring, which made the whole experience much less stressful. I very much appreciated their attention to detail and the care they took to ensure everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future!

Highly recommended
I used Farnfields as my conveyancer to buy a property. Both Ella-Rose and Lucy were brilliant from start to finish, very helpful and responsive, and patient during my 'wobble' periods too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I couldn't be more positive about working with Helen at Farnfields if I tried. It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. Helen was exceptional at her work and a pleasure to deal with. Would recommend her and the company to anyone!

Excellent Service ... again
We appointed Farnfields to do the conveyancing on the sale of our house in London, having already used them twice before (transfer of agricultural land from pension to personal ownership, purchase of a cottage in Wiltshire). Once again, Ingrid Hindle handled the transaction for us, including recovering all our costs on a prior abortive sale and then completing on an actual sale in double quick time (just 3 weeks from acceptance of offer through enquiries to exchange and completion). Ingrid and her team (shout out for Leah) were professional, prompt, proactive and a pleasure to deal with.

First time buyer transaction
Ella and Lucy have both been fantastic in dealing with our first property transaction. They have been professional and friendly throughout, and everything has been presented and explained to us clearly. We have been very impressed by the service they have provided and will definitely be returning to them for any future residential transactions.

Our experience with Farnfields Shaftesbury was nothing short of superb. Navigating a tough house sale and a difficult buyer, Ingrid Hindle and her exceptional team, Ali Potepa and Lucy Liney, proved to be the ultimate professionals. Their communication was incredibly personable and amenable, and the advice they provided was invaluable. I'm confident the entire process would have taken much longer without the Farnfields team.

We have recently used Frances Bundy and her team to undertake conveyancing for the sale and purchase related to our pending move. This is the 3rd time we have used Frances in this respect and have found her both friendly and extremely professional. The process was fast and seamless and we do not hesitate to recommend.

Throughout the experience of selling my property through Farnfields solicitors I have had great communication and feedback and Leah was right on it and kept the sale moving forward. Service which over the years I have come to expect from Farnfields.
Thanks again Leah.
