Advice on preparing our Wills and LPA arrangements.

My wife and I had an excellent introduction to the Wills and LPA services offered by Fairstep, hosted by Mr Patrick Cooney the MD and assisted by Ms Chloe Charles. With their help we were able to quickly identify our needs and draft the necessary documents to our satisfaction. We felt well looked after and were reassured by Fairstep’s calm professional advice.

Amazing Service

Used Fairstep for my recent re-mortgage and their service was impeccable. Easy to follow instructions and guidance, was kept informed of progress throughout, quick to respond to any queries that I had and the process was straightforward from start to finish.

Moving House at a Difficult Time

We were trying to complete our sale and purchase before the stamp duty increase which applied to completions after 31 March. Because of difficulties elsewhere in the chain, this turned out to be problematic for all concerned, but Fairstep were successful in getting the job done and all was well. It was a great relief when we received that all important completion notification!

Will

I have used Fairstep Solicitors for drawing up my Will and also when I moved house. I found them to be extremely efficient, friendly and approachable. Jasmin was always quick to respond, especially during what was a very stressful house move. They are competitively priced, and their charges are made transparent, with no nasty surprises when the invoice arrived. I would not hesitate to recommend Jasmin and the other team members at Fairstep and have recommended them to friends and family.

Before selling my property, I had no idea what I was doing - now it's sold, I still have no clue but it hasnt mattered once because I feel like I've just been taken care of from start to finish, whilst the team have just smoothly sorted everything to a professional standard. Thanks very much to Leia and Gemma for being such terrific solicitors.
