No communication. Too long.

We used this company when selling a property recently and had 5 months of frustration and dissapointment. We had no chain on either side and communication between us and them was nil. Thank goodness we had an extremely good Estate Agent who continually chased them up. The solicitor for the Freeholder was in the same building but it was too much trouble to physically hand paperwork over. If time is of the essence. --- do not entertain using this company.

Unprofessional slow...abysmal service

Bought and sold many properties thought I'd give a local firm my business this time...BIG mistake. Took 7 months to make an absolute abortion of a straight forward ( but made complicated) cash purchase. Severe lack of communication leading to long delays, mislaid documents on more than one occasion and furthermore Sarbjit adopted a childish, blameful ' for tat' unprofessional approach taking no responsibility throughout. Shameful! Don't do yourselves a disservice folks go elsewhere.

Wonderful effortless Conveyancing

We used Matthew Yarham of the Romsey Office and are so glad that we were advised to use him and the services of the Romsey team,
Due to a sudden death we had to sell a property which all happened during lockdown. Matthew was excellent and nothing was too much for him.
The second property has recently completed again with hard work from Matthew and the Footner Ewing team.
Our third property is due to complete this coming week and Matthew will have a hat trick of successful sales for us. Well done - it really is appreciated

Emma was tenacious in making sure we got the right result and with the right level of diligence at all times. Emma's frank communication and experience really helped simplify a complex situation in a fast amount of time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma Bailey and F&E LLP.

Victoria Risk and the team at Footner and Ewing are brilliant and I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing legal advice in the Hampshire area. I wish them all the best and continued success with their cases for clients in need for the future

Worst solicitor in Southampton

This review is for a different branch.

These guys are the worst solicitors in Southampton by a country mile.

Passed my case from locum to locum and charged me £1000 for effectively not doing any actual work as both my cases were abortive.
totally inept and the old receptionist there used to be so rude, can't speak for the new girl as she seemed ok.

Unresponsive. Contradictory advice. Wasted 1 month of our time.

This review is for a different branch.

An entirely unsatisfactory service. An un-joined up service between conveyancing and family solicitors. An unresponsive family law solicitor. Contradictory advice from the conveyancing solicitor. After one month of trying to make contact with the family law solicitor who never returned calls or e mails my wife suddenly received, without prior discussion, a letter returning her fee with a half apology stating that they are not able to deal with her. They had even already sent the vendors sale package back to their solicitors. How do you think that looked to them. Reassurances had to be made to the vendors that my wife's intention to purchase had not changed. Forget these people at Footner & Ewing. They are unprofessional.
