Another positive experience with Farnfields Solicitors Warminster

This is the second time I have hired Farnfields to act for me on the sale of a leasehold retirement apartment. Not the easiest of missions.
Delighted to reach a happy conclusion. Farnfields approach, particularly Sarah Clarke and Callum Clark in the Conveyancing Department only highlight the ineptitude of other solicitors in the process. Grateful thanks. AND all of the below descriptions!
Fiona Hamer worked on the whole of my mother's estate, prior to her retirement. She was second to none. Ann Arnold will now conclude the administration of the Estate.

Excellent and Efficient Service

We recently used Farnfield’s conveyancing service and can wholeheartedly recommend them. Our case was handled by Kathryn Archer who was extremely professional, efficient and kept us updated throughout the whole process. Unlike some solicitors I’ve worked with, Kathryn was very proactive in progressing our case and I’d certainly use her services again in the future.

I have known Farnfields for many years, having worked in the same town. I have also used the film for other conveyances and legal work. My present move has been conducted in a most professional manner and, above all, courtesy and friendliness.

Excellent conveyancing service

I have recently exchanged on a property and am very grateful for the excellent service that Emily Walker and Felicity Taylor gave me. There was a very tight target deadline to meet, and Emily was focussed, diligent and responsive throughout the process. When we met for the signing, she gave me thorough, clear answers to all my last-minute questions with patience and warmth. Thank you.

Conveyancing Services

Farnfields Solicitors have acted for me on two separate occasions within the last two years for property purchases. During both transactions I was given clear information and advice promptly and with efficiency. The first ‘purchase’ was terminated at quite a late stage (my decision) and I was feeling highly stressed about that decision. Nonetheless, I was treated with great kindness, respect and understanding when concluding matters. Some time later I needed to appoint a solicitor for another purchase and Farnfields were more than happy to act again for me, without hesitation. I'm pleased to say that I'm currently sat between exchange of contracts and completion with my purchase. From my experiences, I have no hesitation in recommending Farnfields Solicitors to provide an excellent conveyancing service, and I would highly recommend the highly-efficient Emily Walker, who was ably assisted by Callum Clark but now by Felicity Taylor. Thank you Farnfields.

Excellent Conveyancing

We had been recommended Emily Walker from Farnfields solicitor, Warminster office, to handle our conveyancing and we were so pleased that we did. Emily has been exceptional throughout. We have bought and sold properties before with little fuss but this proved to be an extremely difficult sale and purchase due to complications on either side. Emily, Callum and the team were all professional, responsive and diligent. Emily held both our sale and purchase together in some very difficult circumstances. She always kept her cool despite being put under unrealistic time pressures but her attention to detail still never faltered. We quickly realised we could always trust her judgement, that she had our backs and always got issues resolved. She went above and beyond, especially for me personally due to health issues. She made time to make sure I fully understood what was going on and was a massive emotional support throughout. April & Paul

Super Service

I was not a client of Farnfields LLP and yet I was able to get an appointment within a day or two of my initial phone enquiry. When I made that first call, the receptionist said that someone would call me back - and they did, within a few hours. A meeting was arranged with Meril George and she was excellent. She understood what I wanted and that there was some urgency to it. Meril was very thorough in her explanation of the process and I felt I was in good hands immediately. Remarkably, my matter was opened, dealt with, and closed within the day. Superb all round.

Kathryn did an amazing job with our recent property sale. She kept us fully informed, was easy to contact and always responded to any questions or issues that arose. From acceptance of offer to completion took 11 weeks and this ensured that our buyer had her wish to move in before Christmas.

Kathryn was excellent throughout the entire process of buying our first house, she was un-faultable with an incredible attention to detail and we have no complaints. We were able to complete on our house in excellent time with regular updates from Kathryn, I would recommend the team at Farnfields to anyone looking for a solicitor. Thank you very much for making the process an enjoyable one.

Paid these guys over £20k to make an absolute mess of my case and take no responsibility for.

Asked Meril George to send a simple letter for me at a cost, for which she effectively told me to clear off, not interested. Shambles of a company and a very stuck up associate. Opitimises someone who gets a degree at uni and thinks they are above you.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review on 10 April, 2025:

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we deeply regret that you feel let down. We take all feedback seriously and would welcome the opportunity to better understand what went wrong and how we can make things right.
