Testimonials for Darren
Client of Darren Philpot – Christine - February 2024
Excellent service from beginning to end. Darren and Skye provided excellent service in guiding us through the purchase of our new home. They kept us informed at all stages of the rather complicated procedure and were patient and understanding in responding to all our questions, especially repeated questions.
Thank you for getting us over the finish line - exhausted but happy! (Taken from Review Solicitors)

Client of Darren Philpot – DS, Whitstable - July 2022
I have recently purchased and used Furley Page for the Conveyancing - the service received has been exemplary and Darren Philpot has gone the extra 100 miles to work on my file with efficacy, professionalism and speed in what was a very challenging and time restricted situation for me when another purchase fell through. I can’t recommend Furleys highly enough. All staff were warm and helpful, the process was hassle free, Furleys knowledge and understanding of the whole process was invaluable. Many many thanks to Darren and the team.
The Legal 500 2022 – Agriculture & estates
Furley Page is embedded in the Canterbury community, with an in depth understanding of the social, economic and legal needs of that community. During lockdown they have remained easy to contact – it has been very much business as usual.
The Legal 500 2021 – Agriculture & house purchase
As well as for the sale of agricultural land I have used Furley Page for the purchase of a house. Being fairly new to both of these ventures I found them knowledgeable and competent in their fields and keen to help and guide me.
