I had such a great experience working with Stephanie and Ivan while selling my home and buying a new one.
They both made what can be a really stressful process feel so much easier. Stephanie was always quick to respond, kept me in the loop the whole time, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense! Ivan was just as brilliant, handling all the legal side of things smoothly and efficiently.
They were both so friendly, approachable and no question ever felt like a silly one, and they were always happy to help.
I’m so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Thank you x
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, they will both be so pleased to hear that they have helped in this way. Moving home can be so stressful so we do what we can to lessen the worry! Best wishes in your new home from all at F Barnes.

Ivan Ho and Stephanie Davison worked on my sale and purchase and were excellent throughout - responsive, diligent and calm in the face of delays/issues. Every step was handled smoothly, and they were quick to answer any questions I had. I felt very supported from start to finish. Highly recommended!

I can deffinately recommend fbarnes Solicitors in Collier Row. During the whole process of selling my mums house, I felt I was in good hands. They are very efficiant, answer all questions quickly Tracy and Razia are very friendly, competent and have fair prices. If I need a solicitor in the future, then I would use them again.
Thank you so much for sharing this which has made our Monday! We are delighted to have been of such help to you and hopefully we can assist in the future. Best wishes from all at F Barnes

I found Ivan & Stephanie to be 100% reliable and always came back to me very quickly and nothing was too much trouble for them as the property sale went on a lot longer than expected. Would highly recommend them & F Barnes Solictors
This is lovely to hear and thank you for taking the time to do this. We look forward to assisting you and your family in the future. Best wishes from all at F Barnes.

I recently instructed F. Barnes to handle my house transfer following a divorce buy-out, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Given the sensitive nature of the transaction, I was anxious about the process, but Jasmine Sawali was exceptional from start to finish.
Her attention to detail was second to none, and she ensured every aspect of the transfer was handled with precision. What stood out most was how supported I felt; Jasmine made me feel like her top priority throughout, always taking the time to explain things clearly and proactively. She turned a potentially stressful situation into a smooth and manageable one. Thank you, Jasmine, for your professionalism and genuine care.
Dear Patrick,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this glowing review for Jasmine. We really do try very hard to remove as much stress as we can during sensitive and emotional matters so we are naturally very pleased that we managed to achieve this for you! Best wishes and all the very of luck from all at F Barnes

I had F Barnes as my acting solicitor for selling my first house. This was an incredible company that gave me clear direction, explanation and communication through the entire confusing process. I would highly recommend Mr. Ivan Ho and Stephanie. This powerhouse of a team really made the whole experience much better.
I cannot thank Jordan Johnson enough! He is extremely knowledgeable in what he does. I had a very difficult tenant who refused to move out. Jordan made me feel in very confident hands, he explained everything in detail and was extremely patient in answering all of my many questions. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for sharing your experience online. We are delighted to have helped you with your possession proceedings and appreciate that Jordan does indeed have the right level of experience in resolving these issues! Best wishes from all at F Barnes
Katie Snell2026.03.16
I used Tina and Michelle for the purchase of a house, the service, as always, was great. I was kept up to date throughout and any complications were resolved swiftly and efficiently.
I will continue using the team at F Barnes and have recommended them many times.
Dear Katie,
This is wonderful, thank you for being such a loyal client of F Barnes, we really do appreciate it. Best wishes.

Excellent service and advice given. Made me feel at ease and that the solicitor was always working on my behalf and in my best interests.
Very pleased with all involved and the outcome that occurred.
My experience with F Barnes Solicitors was extremely unprofessional and frankly shocking.
Approximately 10 days ago I contacted the firm regarding notarising a Power of Attorney. During that conversation, Mrs Tatum quoted £80 plus VAT
for witnessing and notarising the document. Based on that clear quote, I proceeded to obtain and prepare the Power of Attorney so it could be completed.
When I contacted her again to arrange the appointment, the price had suddenly changed to £250 + VAT — more than three times the original quote. When I politely questioned the discrepancy, I was told she had no notes of the conversation and that I must have been asking about an affidavit, which is simply incorrect.
What followed was even worse. Rather than addressing the issue professionally, the responses became sarcastic, dismissive and unnecessarily hostile. Instead of resolving the matter or acknowledging the confusion, Mrs Tatum ultimately stated she was refusing to handle the notarisation altogether and told me to find another notary.
This behaviour is unacceptable for a professional legal service. Clients rely on clear communication and accurate quotations, particularly when dealing with legal documentation. Being misquoted, spoken to disrespectfully, and then refused service after the fact is not just frustrating — it shows a complete lack of professionalism.
This notarisation was the final step in an ongoing legal process, and the last-minute refusal has now caused avoidable delays and unnecessary disruption.
Professional legal services should operate with clear communication, accountability, and basic courtesy toward clients. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.
If you are considering using this firm for legal services, I strongly recommend getting everything confirmed in writing beforehand, because based on my experience, verbal quotes and professional courtesy appear to carry very little weight here. Based on this interaction, I cannot recommend F Barnes Solicitors at all.
Good afternoon,
We are sorry you feel the need to leave this review. Sangeet Tatum is an experienced Notary Public and has set fees for her services as would any Notary Public. Sangeet charges £80 plus vat fee to notarise an affidavit. Her fee for the service you required is £250 plus vat, it is always the same. We are sorry but there appears to have been miscommunication here. Whilst we value and welcome all enquiries for notarisation, we do have set fees that we are bound by. Sangeet did try to explain the costs to you but unfortunately we were unable to move forward on this occasion. If you wish to take this matter any further you may do so by contacting our complaints officer.
I recently instructed F Barnes Solicitors to handle my lease extension, and I am extremely pleased with the service provided from start to finish.
The process was explained clearly at the outset, including the likely timescales, costs, and potential challenges. Communication throughout was excellent — I was kept regularly updated and any queries I had were answered promptly and thoroughly. The advice given was practical, transparent, and always in my best interests.
Lease extensions can be complex and sometimes stressful, but Ivan Ho and Stephanie Davison handled very efficiently and professionally, ensuring the matter progressed smoothly. I felt confident throughout that my case was being managed with expertise and attention to detail.
I would highly recommend F Barnes Solicitors to anyone seeking assistance with a lease extension or any legal services. A highly professional and reliable service.
it is wonderful to hear that you felt Ivan and Stephanie looked after you with the lease extension. As you state they can be very complex so we do try very hard at explaining things as plainly as possible. Please do come back to us should you need any further help. Best wishes from all at F Barnes
Tara Faldo2026.02.20
I can’t recommend Tina Marwa highly enough! From our very first conversation, I knew I could leave matters in her capable hands. She is not only incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely wants to help and achieve things! — something that truly sets her apart.
From start to finish, nothing was ever too much trouble. She consistently went above and beyond, and genuinely made me feel like I was her only client throughout the entire process. Her communication was outstanding — emails were answered almost instantly, and she was always available on the phone whenever we needed reassurance or advice.
Tina is excellent at what she does and truly second to none. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is dedicated, responsive, and completely committed to her clients while also being warm and sincere, Tina is the one to choose. Thank you again for everything!
Dear Tara,
This is such a wonderful review, thank you so much. We were delighted to have been of help and would welcome any opportunity to assist you and your family in the future. Best wishes from Tina and all at F Barnes.

Excellent service, every query was handled expertly, I was kept up to date and guided every step
Of the way, nothing was a problem or too much. Rochelle and Claire handled my sale and purchase perfectly . I can’t praise them enough. Thank you both for your patience and guidance.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience online. We were delighted to assist and look forward to helping you and your family in the future. Best wishes from all at F Barnes.
Agnieszka Khale2026.02.09
I cannot recommend F Barnes Solicitors, especially Mr Jordan Johnson, a litigation solicitor, enough. I had a problem with an overstaying tenant who would not move out of my property if it wasn't for Mr Johnson's professional advice and expert handling of the matter as well as all the paperwork he had prepared, which eventually made the overstaying tenant go. Mr Johnson is top of the league when it comes to his profession and I am truly happy that I appointed him and nobody else. Highly, highly recommended. Agnieszka Khale
Thank you so much for this glowing review for Jordan. We agree, he really is an asset to the firm and is particularly good at assisting in Landlord and Tenant disputes where others fail on the accuracy of the paperwork. Thank you for your kind instructions, we look forward to assisting you in the future. Best wishes from all at F Barnes.
tracey markham2026.02.04
I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service I received from my solicitor Ivan and his lovely assistant Stephanie
From the very first conversation, they brought a level of professionalism, clarity and genuine care that instantly put me at ease.
I thank you both so much for all that you have done for myself and my son, you made a stressful time feel easy. You are a team that I would highly recommend to anyone.
