Care home purchase

I wasn’t given the service I was promised and charged more than Initially quoted and the contact promised wasn’t scalable and had to deal with juniors rather than the solicitor was said she would personally deal with my case . It was a horrible experience and sufficient advise wasn’t given

Saieja Karen has worked with you over a number of months, often in very challenging circumstances, to get your transaction completed. She was extremely disappointed to read your review having worked so hard to get the deal over the line. To provide some clarity: It was highlighted to you at the outset that some more junior solicitors would work on your transaction under Karen’s supervision. This is standard on this size of transaction. To claim you were not given sufficient advice is completely untrue. You were given some very specific and detailed advice (both verbally and in writing) that you chose to ignore. You insisted on pressing ahead with a transaction against your solicitor’s explicit advice not to proceed. It then went wrong in the exact way you were advised that it would. Your transaction then required significantly more work due to further complications from third parties involved, none of which were due to our own failings. Despite all of this, and us spending more than double the originally estimated amount of time on your file, you were still charged no more than originally quoted.

Olivia Made a stressful situation so much easier!

Olivia made a very stressful situation so much easier - I would recommend her without hesitation. She was friendly, explained everything clearly and I felt in safe hands.

A satisfactory result with no fuss.

Our solicitor recommended Olivia to handle an eviction. After speaking to her I felt confident that she would achieve a successful outcome and I was right. I hope I am never needing a litigation specialist again but would not hesitate to re-engage Frettons again.

Removal of CCJ

Olivia helped to remove a CCJ that was wrongly aligned to my credit report after a change of address. She was very helpful and it was a successful outcome thankfully.

Airbnb neighbours from “”

Realising that there was no authority or organisation that could help us with a full house nuisance airbnb adjoining us, we instructed Olivia who specialised in ‘deeds and covenants’ to deal with the matter, knowing that the legal route was the only route! Not only were Olivia and her team professional, tenacious, calm and understanding they gave good advice and support, she was always at the end of a phone or email and was very quick to respond. Olivia recommended Alex our Barrister who was prepared to go above and beyond if needed. We cannot praise or recommend Olivia, her team and Alex enough, we got the best result we could have expected, thank you so much!! Kim/Keith

Amazing legal service

5

I cannot recommend Frettens Solicitors enough. They are open and honest to work with. Olivia is very good at her job and did not allow my mother to be pressured or bullied into anything. She made sure she defended her and acted quickly if things were not correct. Thank you so much!
