Our clients' words: a testament to quality service
We have worked with Ms Dona Karimova of Setfords Law firm during the purchase of a house as a foreign investor in the UK. As we have been first-time buyers in the UK, we have been new to many regulations and rules. She has been very instrumental for us to understand various complicated topics by making sure that we get sufficient explanations necessary for our decision-making. She has been patiently responding to our additional enquiries to be raised with her counter-part by representing our case and rights in a meticulous way. She is always very kind, trust-worthy and pleasant to work with, not to mention that she is highly capable of creating solutions and showing flexibility as we have been working almost always online and over a certain time difference. I would highly recommend her services when you are looking for an experienced, highly competent solicitor for real-estate transactions.
