The conveyancing team were efficient, professional, helpful and prompt in replying to any requests. They kept us informed at every stage of the sale and purchase of the properties and we would like to thank them.

Top marks for conveyancing services!

I bought my first home in August with the help of Celia at Kingsfords Solicitors Ashford and would absolutely recommend Kingsfords to anyone else looking to buy! Super professional and timely communication. Celia helped make the house buying process much less stressful and I am so grateful for this. Definitely recommend :)

So helpful and communicative!

5

Celia was so helpful. She offered advice, support and useful recommendations throughout & made a complex house purchase less painful than it could have been. She answered emails really quickly and called us every time she had news, updates or questions. We will definitely recommend Kingsfords and Celia in particular!

Outstanding service

5

We recently used Kingsfords to purchase our first property and would highly recommend Celia Willcock and the team at Kingsfords. Celia was extremely efficient and we achieved completion within 3 months. Despite working at a fast pace, Celia still maintained an eye for detail and spotted errors made by the sellers solicitors and prevented delays with our purchase. Celia, Nicola and Pauline updated us on the progress at each step and we didn't have to chase for an update once. We cannot recommend this team enough for property purchase, they made the whole process very smooth and we're very pleased with the high standard of customer service we received.

sale of London Flat

5

Right from the start we were impressed with kingsford's staff and their approach. Celia Willcock dealt with the conveyancing for our sale. From start to finish she was unfailingly helpful, efficient and approachable too. She dealt with consultations and issues as they arose in a very clear and concise manner, whilst also giving good advice. Nothing was too much trouble and we were always kept up to date with progress and requirements as they arose. The strong secretarial support form Donna and Nicola ensured things flowed smoothly and they were always available; making contact and getting responses was never a problem. Everyone from the reception staff up were always friendly and efficient. With everything taken together it made the whole sale process seem very straightforward, which belied the work we knew was taking place in the background. At this point we would like to say - thank you very much - to Celia and the team for all their hard work.

Highly recommended

5

We moved to Kingsfords for the conveyancing of a property purchase after previously dealing with an arrogant male jobsworth in Ashford town centre.
Celia Willcock and team were highly efficient, friendly, supportive, communicative with an eye for detail.
Celia is a firecraker who works fast. Each email communication of note was followed with hard copies by first class post.
The whole usually stressful experience was made easier due to her and the team working our behalf.
Will definitely use again in the future. Thank you!

Excellent customer service!

5

We recently sold our house using Kingsfords and would highly recommend Celia Willcock! Totally professional service throughout the process & really good to have the direct contact with either Celia or Donna whenever we needed information! At times our sale was a little challenging but Celia worked extremely hard to complete the sale to the date given! Correspondence from beginning to end was very good, first by email but always followed up by letter & as said before if we needed a phone call the direct contact was there too!

Purchase of land

5

We have used Kingsfords several times for the sale and purchase of property and land. Even now we have relocated to Devon we still used Kingsfords for the purchase. Celia Willcock and Donna were quick to answer emails and kept us informed on the progress of the sale. All went smoothly and we were very grateful for their efforts and professionalism.

All documents were emailed as well as hard copies posted which allowed for a quick turn around. I would recommend Kingsfords because of the hard work of Celia and Donna and will use again if needed.

Celia handled our purchase with efficiency and ease. We were kept up to date throughout and she was flexible as we changed our mortgage provider mid way through. We would certainly recommend her and Kingsfords and be happy to use them again for future legal requirements.

I have only high praise and recommendation for Celia and her team at Kingsfords.
Throughout the process of selling our home, Celia and her team were always incredibly efficient - I would set reminders to follow-up for updates, only to receive the updates days before my scheduled reminder. The timely communication meant what could have been a stressful process was actually very straight-forward. They excel at attention to detail and forward planning. I am extremely grateful to Celia and her team for this.

I cannot fault the service provided by Celia Willcock for my house move. Nothing was too much trouble and Celia quickly responded to any queries I had. A total professional who explained the process and ensured that when the exchange and completion days came, she was on the front foot. I would totally recommend Celia for any conveyancing. Thank you for making my house move smooth.
