Compassionate, Professional, and Truly Outstanding

I had the sincere privilege of working with Blessing as my solicitor during one of the most challenging periods of my life, as I fought to gain more time with my son. From our very first conversation, Blessing proved to be not only highly professional and knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and empathetic.

Throughout the process, she was always available to listen—offering thoughtful, logical advice exactly when I needed it most. In moments when my emotions ran high, her calm and steady approach helped me regain perspective. Her ability to bring clarity and composure to such a stressful situation was truly invaluable.

What I appreciated most was how she made me feel supported and understood. Blessing didn’t just handle my case—she helped carry me through it with grace, patience, and unwavering commitment. I am incredibly grateful for everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of not only a talented solicitor, but someone who genuinely cares about the people she represents.

House Settlement

Not sure if previous half written review was submitted? But to confirm, Blessing was brilluant on all levels, negotiating a positive outcome for my daughter. She was friendly empathetic and professional on every level. Things didn't look so good to start, but she was reassuring and persistent to see things through to the end, giving my daughter a chance to build a better future. Thank you Blessing, you did us proud.

Blessing has been excellent

Blessing has been amazing throughout and very understanding of my situation following a family trauma. I would absolutely recommend Blessing Skoldova to anyone who needs a solicitor who is both knowledgeable, professional and caring at the same time.

Being complete legal novices, Dorothy was excellent in explaining everything to us during the process. She showed patience and her legal expertise on multiple occasions, Dorthy was fantastic.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review Lucy, we will pass on the thanks to Tara. The Foskett Marr Team
