Highly recommended
I cannot recommend Ajesh Brar of Setfords highly enough for his exceptional conveyancing services. Despite not being on the panel with my estate agents, Ajesh came highly recommended by one of their staff due to my complex situation involving historical freeholder issues over my 18 years of ownership. From the outset, Ajesh demonstrated remarkable professionalism and expertise, navigating a challenging process with ease.
When the first buyer’s solicitor raised an overwhelming 50 enquiries after failing to review critical documents (TA6, TA7, and TA10), Ajesh handled the situation with composure and efficiency, ensuring clear communication and resolution. Although the sale fell through due to the buyer’s solicitor misrepresenting a Land Registry floor plan issue, Ajesh’s diligence and proactive approach kept the process on track.
With the second buyer, Ajesh ensured a smooth transaction, stepping in decisively when a gentle push was needed a month before completion to keep everything on schedule. His attention to detail, calm demeanor, and ability to manage complex conveyancing challenges made all the difference.
Ajesh’s expertise and client-focused approach are unparalleled, and I am confident he will deliver the same outstanding service to others. If you’re looking for a conveyancer who combines professionalism with results, Ajesh Brar is the one to choose. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience.
From the moment I met Susanne White I knew I was in very safe & sensitive hands. Having to make a will is a traumatic experience. You are reminded in doing it of how tenuous our hold on life is & the inevitability of that life ending. So, having someone like Susanne to help navigate this process with you is truly a gift. She took the time to listen to me, to support me, & to guide me in making my decisions. She came to my home on two visits, explained everything to me & by her time of leaving I felt so secure in what I had done. A weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Her follow up on my arrangement has been equally helpful. Her letters of explanation regarding power of attorney etc have now enabled me to move forward without fear of what the future may hold for me. I deem myself very lucky to have Susanne come into my life when I needed guidance most. I cannot recommend her services to highly. She is a credit to her profession. I will continue to forward her name to anyone who may need her legal services in the future. Thank you Susanne for everything.

Letters verifying inheritance
Setfords Law was recommended by my financial advisor. I was in need of a number of letters verifying that monies from my Mother's estate was a legitimate payment to some of her grandchildren and sons, all of whom live abroad. This was incase they were challenged by their revenue service.
Sophie Booker, was polite, helpful and supplied and explained useful advice to this end. Over a matter of a few months, as needed, she supplied draft letters for approval, all of which were well worded and to the point. On approval, she supplied the final version copies both in hard copy and electronically. Sophie supplied a professional and pain-free service. I would definitely recommend her services and that of her firm.

Great conveyancer
I had the pleasure of working with Ajesh and was thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and skill. He demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and consistently provided quick, thorough responses. Communication was seamless throughout the entire conveyancing process, and I never felt out of the loop. Ajesh worked diligently to ensure fast turnarounds, and I felt confident knowing he was handling all matters with care and precision. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled conveyancer.

Efficient & Thorough
Kristine was fantastic and guided us through the whole process. She took time to talk us through parts that we didn't understand. She was always chasing and pushing other solicitors in the chain to keep moving and dealt with enquiries in a timely manner. I would 100% recommend Kristine.

I honestly can’t recommend Malwina Konopinska highly enough! She was our solicitor for our first-time buyer shared ownership purchase, and she truly went above and beyond. Malwina is the best of the best—professional, dedicated, and incredibly efficient. At the same time, she’s down-to-earth and always made time to answer any questions we had, no matter how small or when we asked.
What really stood out was how fast and focused she was—she managed to get everything completed within 2 months, during an incredibly busy time when everyone else was saying it couldn’t be done before the stamp duty deadline in April. Thanks to her, we made it!
If anyone ever asks me for a solicitor recommendation, Malwina will always be my first choice. Thank you so much again, Malwina—I’m sure we’ll be in touch again in the future!

Jolita at Setfords guided us through our sale and purchase transaction and she was excellent. Her communication was always clear and prompt - and she was always happy to answer any 'silly questions we had'.
We would often find that she had prepared work "one step ahead" of where were at and all-in-all we were able to complete in under 4 months.
I would not hesitate to use her again and would recommend her for your conveyancing needs!

We engaged Setfords for the purchase of a new property and later the sale of another property. Initially communication was quick and polite however once the Letter of Engagement was signed, communication was non-existent unless we actively followed up. I can't recall a time when I rang and did not get redirected to voicemail.
When the final documentation for the purchase did come through, there were several errors across the documents. We went back and forth 3 times on the same document pointing them out; their justification was "the system is tricky to navigate." In the end we were asked to make the corrections in black ink and return to them.
During the sale of our property, abortive fees were added onto the final bill. We queried what these were and were happy to pay them following some clarification however the response we received was quite rude and patronising. A breakdown in the Letter of Engagement would be helpful so everyone is aware of the breakdown.
Finally, upon completion, we were told the application of registration could take 6-12 months. As we approached the 11 month mark (following completion) we followed up (twice) via email to finally hear that the application for registration was completed and posted some 5 months back (which we never received). The solicitor did not seem concerned about the missing paperwork.
In short, I would not recommended Setfords to anyone seeking a solicitor.

About this branch
Description
As well as a team of full-time lawyers based in our Guildford office we have over 400 consultant lawyers based both locally and across the UK. Each one is supported by a 130-strong central team. It means they are empowered and free to work in a more effective way. When you employ one of them to deliver legal services that is who will deal with your case from start to finish – you won’t be handed off to a junior member of staff. And because we aren’t housing all of our lawyers in one place, our costs are lower, which means you get that expert advice at a more competitive price than you might expect to pay at a traditional firm.
