Remortgage

Really nice when you are welcomed back to the firm. Direct fast efficient service with minimum hassle for the client.
After what must be 30 years and several conveyances the service remains excellent and improved with the aid of technology.
The one element that remains constant is Clare’s professionalism,accessibility and influence on her teams.

John and I would like to thank Clare and Jade and the rest of the Frettens team who were involved with our house sale and purchase. We appreciate all that was done for us by everyone. We would also like to mention Debbie and those who work on the front desk who are always welcoming. Again thank you Clare for all you’ve done for us and taking the time to call us and to take our calls. We would most definitely recommend you and your firm.

Brilliant service

Clare has been the most attentive and incredible support during our house purchasing process. We’ve completed so quickly and had all searches and issues resolved ahead of schedule. We genuinely are so grateful to Clare and moving forward we wouldn’t use anyone else. Thanks Clare, you really are a fantastic and go above and beyond.

Clare helped us move into our first home and couldn’t have been happier with her and the teams services.
They were attentive, thorough and efficient, and nothing was too much to ask.
She and the team held our hand through the whole process and nothing was too much to ask.
We will definitely be using Frettens again and thank you for making our whole experience as easy as possible

I very rarely post a Review but, another excellent experience in late 2021, in difficult circumstances, has prompted me to do so. Over the whole of the last 10 years, Clare Hallett & her Conveyancing Team have, without fail, provided exceptional Customer Service every time we have Purchased or Sold our Properties. Great knowledge & expertise, effective communication at all times, nothing too much trouble &, excellent professionalism. I can very highly recommend Clare & the Team.
I can also recommend Lee Young &, his Team who have also provided excellent Service & expertise for our Wills, Power of Attorney & Tax discussions.

Yet again, open, honest, and straightforward advice - with a smile - from Clare Hallet and the Frettens team. We just finished a review with Clare, where she explained a covenant issue to us in plain English. She cleared up our confusion and convinced us not to spend money on unnecessary covenant insurance.

We have now used Frettens for wills, trusts, conveyancing and business contracts; their straightforward approach is a refreshing change. I always recommend this company to friends and family, because of their professional attitude, straight forward honest advice, and simple pricing policy.
