Excellent Service


I had the pleasure of working with Ajesh Brar, who helped us sell our property. His expertise as a Consultant Conveyancing Solicitor made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to navigate property transactions with confidence.

If you're in need of a reliable and knowledgeable professional, Ajesh is the person to turn to!

Ajesh is a star!

Ajesh was recommended by our estate agent, and we can see why! He was extremely efficient and an effective communicator, keeping us up to date with the process, which as first-time buyers was often a confusing process. We appreciated Ajesh's guidance and the speed and clarity of his communication.

Ajesh was thorough, polite and approachable. He made the process seamless. I will be recommending Ajesh to all my friends and family without hesitation.

All round excellent to work with.

I was recommended Setfords by my estate agent, so I didn’t know what to expect. Having read Ajeshs previous reviews, clearly he was the correct solicitor to instruct.

I’m extremely happy with how attentive, on-the-ball, and professional Ajesh is.
He is very informed and knows his profession. He was in constant contact throughout my house move which was comforting to know that the process was moving along and chasing with other parties was reduced due great guidance.

Would highly recommend Setfords especially if working with Ajesh. I will look to use other services from them in the future.

Excellent solicitors

We had an excellent experience working with Ajesh and Annie at Setfords for our property sale and purchase. From start to finish, they were always available to answer any questions we had, providing clear and reassuring guidance throughout the process.

Both of them were incredibly thorough with all enquiries and paperwork, ensuring everything was carefully reviewed and nothing was overlooked. They were also extremely efficient and quick, which was crucial in helping us complete everything before the stamp duty change. Their dedication and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that everything was being handled properly.

If you’re looking for solicitors who are professional, responsive, and committed to getting things done right and on time, we highly recommend Ajesh and Annie at Setfords. Thank you for all your hard work!

Early stages in the process but shout out to Deah who is the best sales consultant when reaching out for quotes & further information. Super friendly informative & quick to communicate with - if the rest of the process goes as smooth as this I’ll be very happy 10/10

Cannot fault the service we received from Matt Conroy at Setfords. As first time buyers Matt answered a lot of (silly?!) questions from us with patience and plain English language, and good humour. He was timely in his responses and easy to get hold of. We’re very grateful to Matt for getting us through this process in the timeframe we needed.

Having seen first-hand how Setfords operates, I can confidently say they go above and beyond for their clients—just as they do for their own team. The level of care, professionalism, and dedication to delivering the best possible service is evident in everything they do. A truly great law firm that puts people first.

About this branch

Description

As well as a team of full-time lawyers based in our Guildford office we have over 400 consultant lawyers based both locally and across the UK. Each one is supported by a 130-strong central team. It means they are empowered and free to work in a more effective way. When you employ one of them to deliver legal services that is who will deal with your case from start to finish – you won’t be handed off to a junior member of staff. And because we aren’t housing all of our lawyers in one place, our costs are lower, which means you get that expert advice at a more competitive price than you might expect to pay at a traditional firm.
