Property conveyance with challenges
I had no hesitation in instructing Fraser Dawbarns in Downham Market with regard to the sale of my parents property as Sole Executor.
Fraser Dawbarns had been initially highly recommended by a neighbour and as a result acted for my son in the purchase of a property in 2017.
The sale of my parents property involved three different sets of buyers before a successful outcome.
I found all of the staff very friendly and helpful. The conveyancing team was particularly supportive during the difficulties encountered. My enquiries always received a same day response and I cannot fault the advice given. Perspective was never lost. I always had confidence that whatever I was charged would reflect the work undertaken. The transfer of proceeds upon completion of the sale was highly efficient.
I am pleased to unreservedly recommend the Fraser Dawbarns, Downham Market Conveyancing Team.

James Davies was pleasant and approachable. His explanations were clear and helpful. Fraser Dawbarns has handled all our business with great aplomb since we came to Norfolk from Scotland 15 years ago. All the staff are exceptionally pleasant.

About this branch
Description
Fraser Dawbarns LLP is one of the leading law firms serving West Norfolk and East Cambridgeshire with over 115 staff and offices based in Wisbech, King’s Lynn, Downham Market, March and Ely. We pride ourselves in delivering a professional service and giving our clients total peace of mind. Fraser Dawbarns LLP can trace its roots back to the Old Market in Wisbech when James Edward Fraser opened for business in 1842. The Dawbarn family opened for business in 1885 and the names of the two firms changed regularly thereafter as partners joined and then retired. Both firms were involved in mergers and takeovers of other local practices involving expansion into new locations. The latest name change took place in 2008, when Dawbarns Pearson merged with Frasers of March and Wisbech to become Fraser Dawbarns LLP. This was soon followed by the further merger of Fraser Dawbarns with Waterman Cheetham of Wisbech. In 2018, Fraser Dawbarns brought our services to a new location for the first time in many years with the opening of a modern office in the city of Ely. Our lawyers are specialists in commercial law, Wills and probate, agricultural law, divorce and family law, contentious probate, residential conveyancing, legal disputes, employment law and personal injury and they advise a wide range of clients across the region and the UK. In the 2019 edition of the Legal 500 directory (The Clients’ Guide to the UK Legal Profession), we are recommended for the following practice areas: Corporate and Commercial Debt Recovery Employment Personal Injury: Claimant Agriculture and Estates Contentious Trusts and Probate Family Personal Tax, Trusts and Probate Commercial Property
