I would also recommend their services.

The service and the quality and practical effectiveness of the advice was first class. Clearly Sara’s knowledge of this area of law is profound and her ability to transmit that knowledge is excellent. I felt at all times that I was in safe and capable hands. I was extremely satisfied with Foskett Marr’s overall service and would be happy to use them again. I would also recommend their services. I don’t think there is anything I could have asked for which would have improved the experience.

Thank you.

When I find myself requiring legal advice or services, I don't hesitate to contact Richard. I have had reason to consult with him twice over the last few years and I find he always acts promptly, keeps me up to date on progress and takes time to explain any complexities. His advice provides clarity on each situation, bringing to light alternative options that I might not have previously considered. I find him professional, polite and pro-active. I have already recommended his services to a number of friends and family and would not hesitate to recommend him in the future.

We used Foskett Marr for our property purchase after they were recommended to us by a friend. Our solicitor Tara was incredibly helpful and diligent, and she made the process as smooth as possible with great communication. Very trustworthy conveyancing firm and I would also recommend them to anybody purchasing a property.

This was our second time using Foskett Marr. 5 years ago they helped us with a flat purchase and this time they helped us sell the flat and also purchase a house. Both times Tara handled our case. We can’t thank Tara enough, throughout she was extremely responsive and efficient. Hopefully we will not have to move again but if we do then we know who to call.

I would highly recommend Foskett Marr Gadsby & Head due to their professionalism, vast knowledge, attention to detail and patience. My sale was not straight forward and at times quite stressful. Robin and Leila put my mind at ease at all times and made the process from start to finish run so smoothly which I was very grateful for. Thank you, Nicola

I would give 0 stars if I could. I do not recommend first time buyers using Tara at Foskett Marr Gadsby as they take advantage of your inexperience. There are other practices out there that offer a No Sale No Fee conveyancing service so if you’re a buyer, please go with one of those practices. I went with AVRillo and the service was seamless with an online portal for me to track everything.

Foskett Marr Gadsby charged me c.£4000-5000 for two purchases that uncontrollably fell through on leasehold flats both below £300,000 (apparently discounted from £11,000!!). This is absolutely ridiculous especially as neither of those cases reached exchange let alone completion. They are now scaremongering me to pay this by X date or it will accrue interest. No ethics or morals at all.

Please take your business elsewhere!!!

A friend recommended this solicitors and I am so happy for it. It was a quick turn around and Tara was on it. If there was any questions she was quick to replied and already completed anything I went to chase on. I will definitely use them again in the future.
