Lara Aveline
“Lara Aveline was recommended to us at the start of our house sale and purchase process, and without doubt, our experience throughout this very difficult six month period was simply excellent. I have never had the pleasure of working so closely in collaboration WITH a solicitor who is both approachable and knowledgeable. Lara's unwavering dedication to the intensity and sensitivity of the process at all times throughout the process was simply unique and in turn, I cannot recommend Lara highly enough, and in fact, I already have.”
- R,
Lara Aveline
“I cannot fault the level of support, professionalism and the advice provided by Lara Aveline. Not only did Lara go above and beyond to make this a very smooth purchase, the fact we were able to talk to Lara directly throughout and knowing how focused Lara was in making this a very swift completion was of great benefit.”

Rebecca Lloyd
“I highly recommend Setfords Solicitors, in particular Rebecca Lloyd, who helped with the conveyancing of my first house. She was knowledgeable, efficient and very helpful in guiding me through the whole process of getting onto the property ladder. Nothing seemed too much trouble for her - even when I sent her millions of emails about various queries, she still replied very quickly, often very early in the morning or late at night and even on weekends. Rebecca is a true professional and has given outstanding customer service !! If I ever come to move house in the future, I will definitely get back in touch with her. Thank you so much Rebecca xx”
- EH,
Pamela Thomas
“Would just like to thank you for the impeccable service from yourself. I have never dealt with such efficiency from any solicitor or in business at any time. Shame everyone is not as efficient as yourself. I would absolutely 100% recommend you and have done already. Sorry for being so emotional last week but I loved our home and was finding it difficult to say goodbye at the time when you rang. Thank you so much for making our move as easy as possible and hope to use your excellent service if ever needed again. It makes a change to actually deal with someone who I believe cares about their client. Please pass this on to whoever is your practice owner/manager. Kind regards”

Antony Singh
“It was a stressful sale and purchase as the home buyers survey on my first purchase showed loads of issues which resulted in me pulling out of this purchase. I then found another property but the rest of the chain applied a lot of pressure to complete due to the delay. During this very stressful period Antony was amazing. He was so supportive offering guidance during the whole process and when the chain applied pressure Antony pulled out all the stops to get the purchase completed asap and stop the chain falling apart. I won't be moving again for a while but when I do I wouldn't hesitate to use Antony again or recommend him to a friend. Thank you so much Antony.”

Sandra Dunn
“Always ready to discuss and sort out any problem and quick and efficient. Sandra also took care to ensure a replacement when she knew she was about to go on leave so that our sale was not delayed - unlike the situation with our purchasers who were delayed exactly because their solicitor went on holiday without letting them know! Exactly what we hoped and expected from our legal advisers; we really could not fault you and would recommend your firm, and Sandra in particular, to anyone.”
- RJT,
Sarah Wilkins
“Sarah was exceptional in every way. From the moment I spoke to her she was down to earth and holding and I felt she was a people person. With every email along the way she responded appropriately. At the end, the solicitor acting for my sale (not Sarah, this was a big regret from the start) seemed to choke yet Sarah held us saying all would be ok. I would recommend Sarah 110% and also for the price that Setfords charged = amazing. A million thanks to Sarah.”

Emily Frank
“Emily is one of the most proactive professionals we have ever worked with. We never once had to chase anything and she started work on our process as soon as we signed the relevant documents engaging her. Throughout our whole process Emily was on top of everything and it was always a case of waiting on the other solicitors in our chain who were rather inadequate. When Emily had questions regarding anything she called or emailed us immediately so issues could be auctioned as soon as possible which was ideal. She treated the other solicitors and our freeholder in a similar way contacting them promptly and persisting when there was no response. Emily also gave great advice, which was always positive but measured and realistic so that we weren't deluding ourselves about what was a complicated process.”
- ND & AQ,
Emily Frank
“I have had extensive dealings with solicitors and legal teams through my work as well as some particular interaction for personal conveyancing, and Emily is an outstanding lawyer. I will be recommending Emily to all personal and professional contacts. By extension, I will be recommending Setfords given the company must have high standards when it comes to quality and likely chooses to work only with accomplished lawyers.”

- KS,
Dawn Brogan
“I would like to say that I have never had such good service from a solicitor. Dawn even had a baby part way through and still kept in touch. I was impressed to get emails out of hours and felt that I was always kept informed of what was happening. Dawn came as a recommendation and I will certainly not hesitate to recommend her in the future.Justin Barker also was involved and I found him very good too. Both people explained things we didn't understand.I would say that both solicitors took away the stress and I felt happy with them dealing with things, which hasn't been the case with other solicitors I have used.”

Carol Lee
“We were very impressed by Carol when she acted for us when we moved to Norfolk in 2013.We needed to move again last year to be nearer to amenities. Carol was incredibly efficient and we much appreciated being copied into emails to the estate agents and solicitors. The estate agents dealing with our sale and purchase really valued being kept in the picture.Sadly we have also incurred delays by our vendor's solicitor not communicating promptly or correctly. This simply made us appreciate even more the superb service provided by Carol and her team.It is amazing how promptly Carol sends or replies to emails. She helped us overcome various issues, and also helped us keep our sanity when our vendor pulled out on the day of exchange, twice!When we then saw our new home, we had to exchange within four weeks to be accepted in front of other interested buyers. This was achieved, apart from having to chase the vendors solicitors!We have bought and sold twenty four homes and have no hesitation in saying Carol is the most professional and efficient solicitor we have used.”

Excellent and efficient service at a very reasonable price, couldn’t have asked for more from our conveyancing.”
