Fantastic!!!

As a first-time buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor than Ajesh. From start to finish, he was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge and extensive experience were evident throughout the entire process, which gave me great confidence and peace of mind during what can otherwise be a stressful time.

Ajesh was always approachable, patient, and happy to explain things clearly—no question ever felt too small. He kept me consistently updated, ensuring I always knew where things stood, and was incredibly responsive whenever I reached out.

Thanks to Ajesh’s professionalism and dedication, the whole process went smoothly and efficiently. I’m so grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and personable conveyancing solicitor.

Exceptional Solicitor - Highly recommended!

Working with Kristine during the purchase of my flat in London has been an incredibly positive experience. From start to finish, she was professional, efficient, and always approachable.

She was very quick at responding to any questions I had, no matter how small, and consistently kept me updated throughout the entire process. Whenever any issues came up, she addressed them promptly and found effective solutions, which gave me great peace of mind.

Her attention to detail and dedication made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I really felt supported every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive solicitor for their property purchase.

Marie Smith is Excellent

Marie is an excellent conveyancer, I am an estate agent based in Essex and refer all of my clients straight to Marie.

Always very good at moving sales forward quickly, and always great at communicating. Always answers the phone, always gets everything done without me having to chase. No one else I would rather recommend.

House sale and purchase

Kristine handled the sale of our property and an onward purchase, which was part of a chain. Throughout the process Kristine was highly professional, helpful, and always kept us up to date with developments. At various points in our transactions, specific challenges arose, and we really appreciated the helpful and timely advice Kristine provided on how we might address them. We always felt we had a way forward. Without Kristine's efforts and commitment, we don't think we would have got things over the line. We hugely appreciate all the work she did, and wouldn't hesitate to use Setfords again.

The best!

Sarah has been an absolute legend during my divorce. From day one she made the effort to get to know me, answer all of my questions and helped me to not worry about the process ahead.
At every step she kept me up to date, informed and explained all the legal jargon.

With Sarah you know that she will do her very best to get the right settlement for you. Her legal knowledge is incredible and her dedication to your case is clear.

I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough.
I’ll actually miss chatting with her.

Antony is an excellent lawyer

Antony helped me work through two cases. I couldn’t recommend him more! His knowledge and understanding saved me from what would have been a messy house purchase and allowed me to find my first home. Massive thanks to you and Anais.

Outstanding Conveyancing Service – Highly Recommended

We recently used Antony and Anais at Setfords for our conveyancing, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. They were super efficient, highly responsive, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire process.

Having worked with several conveyancers in the past, I can confidently say that Antony and Anais stand out as the best. Their professionalism and attention to detail made the entire transaction smooth and stress-free.

I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable and top-tier conveyancing service.

Have used Setfords for 4 conveyances and are in the process of a 5th! Maria, Claire and Petra are always friendly and efficient, responding to queries quickly and keeping us updated with everything in a timely manner. Can't speak for other branches but I would certainly recommend the Cornwall operation.

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.
