This is the second time Samantha Cook has acted for us in a conveyancing capacity. She has always kept us informed in a friendly, professional manner and been most helpful, responding very quickly to queries either by phone or email. Natalie Hawkes, her assistant, has also been very helpful with our current transactions. Our sale has now completed and they are both continuing to provide a great level of service with our purchase. The receptionists are also friendly, professional and helpful. I would most definitely recommend Farnfields.

Confidently rating Farnfields Gillingham 5-stars! Samantha has been so reliable throughout our house purchase, what appeared to be a difficult property (land registry issues and more) was handled smoothly. We never felt the need to chase Samantha for updates, as we were confident that as soon as information came into Farnfields it would be acknowledged and actioned. As first-time buyers, we felt truly kept in the loop and highly recommend their conveyancing services.

Thank you so much to Samantha Cook! She was honestly outstanding, we cannot recommend her enough to anyone, she is fabulous! We sold our home and bought another and Sam handled everything so quickly and efficiently and Sam was incredible at keeping in contact with us along the way and making sure we understood everything in simple terms, definitely went over and above for us. Thank you so much Sam! Izzy & Ben Xx

We engaged Farnfields on recommendation from our estate agent and have not been disappointed. The whole conveyancing process has taken 8 weeks and Emily Walker has always been on hand to offer advice and guide us through the process, particularly at the point of exchange when the buyers and their solicitors were being particularly petty. We would thoroughly recommend them.

Gayle and Abbey at Farnfields are a fantastic team. As first time buyers, they explained every step of the way to us and really took the time to make sure everything was covered for our house purchase - we are so lucky to have been recommended them. They were always available for anything you needed and just a really reliable and efficient team. Thank you so much!

Samantha and her team were brilliant! Emails were prompt and everything was dealt with thoroughly and sometimes out of hours to help push things through. This was our third house move and compared with previous experience with other firms this was by far the best. I couldn't recommend them more! Thank you Farnfields!

Recently used Farnfields solicitors as We purchased our first home and Gayle couldn't be anymore helpful. She went out of her way to ensure that everything was done as quick as she could, Gayle is very professional and experienced in her field and has no issue with us asking questions etc. Gayle and her assistant Abbey, were very informative with regular communication via email or telephone call. Made us feel very relaxed and excited in a stressful time of our lives. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Gayle did another fantastic job at driving our recent sale to a successful conclusion. We have used her services before and she will definitely be our 'Go To' solicitor again when buying or selling property. We have recommended her to several of our friends who have also all been extremely pleased with her efficient and thorough service.

Sam & her team have been great. We instructed Farnfields for our house purchase on Monday and exchanged contracts on Friday as a cash buyer. An instant understanding of the communication timeframes needed to get an exchange of contracts within a week. Sam makes things happen - highly recommend!

We have had the pleasure of working with Emily during the process of exchanging on our first home. She has been really helpful, responsive, and often takes the time to go through the finer detail when we need it explaining! Thank you so much for everything so far and looking forward to completing in the next few months! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emily at Farnfields and we will not use anyone else now.

Would highly recommended Farnfields Solicitors. I was given great advice and given support during a tricky house sale. Samantha and her team were always available and gave clear and timely instruction throughout. Great service.

Was a great experience, was very happy with the teams work and timescale in which they completed the tasks I needed. Samantha Cook and Lewis Dyer were great to work with and Lewis especially went above and beyond in terms of his attentiveness to the case and work he carried out relating to it.

My contacts at Farnfields were Jo and Amanda. I highly recommend them. Couldn't have been better. Always available with quick responses to any questions. No query too much trouble. Super fast resolution to my house move. Perfect, thanks!

I recently engaged Gayle Defrise from Farnfields to carry out the legal requirements for a house I wished to purchase, and to say that i was happy with her work and communications would be an understatement. Her level of care to detail, prompt actions and approachability were outstanding! HIGHLY recommend Gayle to anybody looking to buy a house! Thank you once again.

From my first phone call with Charlotte, requesting a quote, she was very reassuring, friendly and attentive. She made the experience of buying my first property very seamless, and I cannot recommend her enough, she's great. She was willing to support me at any moment she could and did so in a really nice way. -Jerome

Our solicitor Samantha was excellent. Very thorough and professional. We managed to push through our conveyance within 7 weeks - well below national average this year due to some very hard work from Samantha and her team.

Gayle and Abbey were fantastic to work with throughout the process of selling my husband and my house. We were always kept informed and up to date with what had been done and what we were waiting for from various sources, with an expected turn around time which was always kept to do we never felt we were kept in the dark about anything. Whenever we had questions either Gayle or Abbey responded quickly. We will definitely use Farnfields and especially Gayle and Abbey in the future and wouldn't look to use anyone else. Thank you for everything Gayle and Abbey.

Today I exchanged and completed on my purchase which was the last day for stamp duty holiday. At 10:30am the mortgage lender issued my mortgage offer and by 16:30 we had exchanged and completed! (would usually take days / weeks between offer & exchange). This was a phenomenal achievement from the efforts of Samantha Cook it also resulted in me saving a lot of money for stamp duty! Sam you have been amazing from day 1 you have kept me in the loop with everything and returned all my calls very swiftly! I will highly recommend you to friends and family. You are a true asset to Farnfields!

Both Samantha and Julie were very efficient in handling our property sale recently. I obtained an initial quotation for conveyancing using the online request form, I had a quick response and this was followed up after a few days by phone. Whilst the cost was marginally more than others locally, we opted for Farnfields because of how approachable Samantha was.

The paperwork was completed remotely in the most part except for a visit to the office to drop hard copies off. Communication was good and completion happened without any delays or drama. We will be instructing Farnfields to handle our purchase.
