Very efficient and helpful.

We have used Setfords on a number of occasions for selling properties. Anna Nuttall and the team made the whole process very easy. We were updated frequently and any queries we had were swiftly answered. Just a very easy and pleasant process overall.

Karen was excellent!!

Karen was excellent! She was super responsive and helped with any questions we had as first time buyers. The whole experience was so smooth and speedy, would highly recommend Karen and Setfords!

Been professional throughout and completely transparent. Also, the response times to reply to emails is excellent.

Case dropped, won't say why.

Was initially disappointed that the whole starter pack needed to be printed out, signed and posted back. I did everything in 2 hours, and posted a file an inch thick the same day. Paid £1000 just to open the file. Rang at the end of the following day to check they had received it OK, but it turns out she doesn't work Thursdays. Never received any confirmation of receipt of all of the documents. Rang to check in a week later, turns out she didn't work Tuesday either. Was told that my case was being dropped and they cannot divulge the reasons why. I wonder how long they would have left it if I didn't call up. Still I have no correspondence to say they will no longer act for me. Disappointed that there was no online portal, no acknowledgements or updates and absolutely devastated that I have lost another week and wasted my time with a conveyancer who can't take the job on. I have been told my deposit will be refunded minus their ID check fees, but it's not clear how much I have lost and right now I'm still out of pocket.

100% recommended

Setfords were recommended to us from the estate agent when we were buying our home, and Naqibul was the one that handled our case. We couldn't be happier with the level of professionalism everything was handled, in very timely fashion showing great work ethic, even chasing third parties for things we were not aware we needed answered. While you'd constantly hear about people's experiences with solicitors not answering on time when you need them, we can definitely say our experience with Setfords and Naqibul was the exact opposite.

Delyth Hughes - Colwyn Bay North Wales

I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Delyth for close to a decade now. In my line of work, I cross paths with a wide range of solicitors — but very few stand out. Delyth is one of those rare few. What sets her apart isn’t just her deep legal knowledge or the speed and precision with which she delivers — it’s the way she consistently shows up. Communicative. Reliable. Deeply committed. She doesn’t just do the job; she owns the outcome. That level of care is hard to come by, and it mirrors the values I hold close in my own work. She’s more than a solicitor — she’s someone I trust wholeheartedly with my most valued clients. A real credit to her profession, and a standout in an industry that rarely makes it easy to stand out.

CCJ set aside for being at wrong address

I had a CCJ served at a wrong address. I contacted Paul that gave me every information I needed in less than 10 minutes. It took a while (about 4 months), but it's just how these things go. I had to do nothing in the meantime and Paul just kept me up to date with the progress. At last, now my credit score bounced back by 200 points.

I would highly recommend Sarah March-Paschal at Setfords. She is very thorough, answers enquiries within the day, and is a pleasure to work with. The management company that serviced the flat I sold, and the freeholder, were obstructive at times but we got there in the end. Despite the issues and frustrations with my sale Sarah remained positive and cheerful throughout. My purchase went smoothly thanks to Sarah's persistence

I had the pleasure of working with Simon Hopewell and his team, and I can honestly say the service was exceptional from start to finish. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and consistent communication made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable.

No better Solicitor ...

You can't find a better solicitor than Charlotte Robins. Her professionalism, encouragement, and patience helped us through an unusually long process. it took two years and three tries to finally buy our new home. We feel grateful that Charlotte was our solicitor throughout.
