Written by the company

Our expert lawyers are located nationwide and work with a central support team based in our head office in Guildford. Because we use technology to enable our lawyers to work flexibly – in many cases from their homes or clients’ offices – we are able to keep overheads low and pass on those savings to our clients. Our unique way of working also ensures our clients deal only with their consultant lawyer – they won’t find themselves handed off to a junior team member who can’t offer the expert advice or personal support they deserve. And because our lawyers don’t have billing targets, they are able to focus on the right number of clients and ensure each and every one gets a dedicated service. We can offer advice on a broad range of legal matters including residential property, employment, family law, commercial property, corporate and commercial matters, and personal injury and clinical negligence cases.

Setfords Solicitors and their fabulous staff

Setfords Solicitors and especially Sharon Parker, one of their consultant senior chartered legal executives, provided me with the best possible conveyancing legal experience in buying a house in England while still living in Ireland. They truly deserve the full five stars. Sharon supported and guided me through all the different procedures and legalities whilst I was also navigating my permanent move to the UK. All my correspondence and meetings were done online and I never felt unsafe, unprotected or confused. Sharon showed great patience and provided me with all the support I needed to get to the place I am now, living one month exactly in my newly purchased UK home. Every email I sent and every phone call I made to Sharon Parker was treated with courtesy and professionalism and all steps clearly explained and any vulnerabilities I felt about the financial side of the purchase were put to rest with the transparent processes and the safe steps Setfords have in place for safe guarding financial exchanges in conveyancing with the result that it all went without a single hitch. From my first general email making inquiries to Setfords to the final communication from Sharon Parker, congratulating me on my completed purchase.
I recommend the company 100% and I will use them again if I need their services and I personally thank Sharon Parker for her professional input at all levels, made all the more complicated with the foreign exchange aspect of the house purchase. Thank you Sharon and all good wishes to you and your colleagues at Setfords Solicitors

Worked with Sharon Parker who was great

Seafords was recommended to me by my broker, and I’m really glad I decided to go with them. I worked with Sharon Parker who was great. As a first-time buyer, the whole process can be really nerve-racking, but Sharon was always on hand with a reassuring ear. I never had to chase her for a response, she replied promptly, kept me updated with all the information I needed, and helped the process run smoothly.

Excellent experience with Karen Stewart at Setfords Solicitors.

We were passed the details for Karen Stewart at Setfords Solicitors by our estate agent, to manage the sale of our property in the UK, having already moved overseas. Karen was fantastic to deal with all the way through. She was highly professional, efficient, friendly and always quick to respond to any queries we had. Even with an 8 hour time difference, I was always able to speak to her easily if I needed to. Whilst exchange of contracts took a little longer than planned (as is fairly typical in the UK!), Karen kept us updated regularly, and did everything she could to speed up the process! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a property solicitor to manage their house sale in the UK.
