Faversham
Estate planning in Faversham and the Swale villages.
For clients in Faversham and the surrounding parishes, from Boughton-under-Blean to the marshes at Oare. Office, home or video.
SLS Wills and More provides estate planning services in Faversham, the surrounding villages of Boughton-under-Blean, Selling, Ospringe, Hernhill and Oare, and the Swale coast settlements at Conyer and Seasalter. Our office is in Aylesham, around eighteen miles south-east, and we meet Faversham clients at home, at our office, or by video and telephone.
Local context
A market town with deep roots.
Faversham is one of the oldest market towns in Kent. The medieval street grid is still intact, the Tuesday and Saturday markets are still held in the same place they have been for centuries, and the independent shops along West Street, Court Street and Market Place give the town a character that the wider south-east has lost in most places of its size. Shepherd Neame, the oldest brewery in the country, has been part of the town since 1698 and is still part of the rhythm of the place.
Our Faversham clients are a particular mix. Many are families with two or three generations in the town and the surrounding parishes, with property and inheritance questions that span several decades. Others are recent arrivals who have moved out from London or from elsewhere in the south-east and are writing their first Will after buying a home in or near the town. We also see business owners on Court Street and Preston Street and at the small industrial estates around the railway.
The Faversham professional network is tight. Financial advisers, accountants and a small number of solicitors are based locally, and we work alongside them on the estate planning side. We refer specialist matters back to them where their expertise fits better; they refer estate planning to us for the same reason.
Where we meet
Where we see Faversham clients.
Faversham clients are about thirty-five minutes by road from our Aylesham office, via the A299 and A2. Many prefer to make the journey because the office gives a quiet, private space to talk things through and there is parking on site.
Where coming to the office is not convenient, we visit Faversham clients at home. The villages on both sides of the A2 — Boughton-under-Blean, Hernhill, Dunkirk, Selling, Sheldwich, Badlesmere — are part of our standard home-visit area, as are the Swale-side settlements at Oare and Conyer.
Video and telephone consultations work well for working clients and for second consultations once the first conversation has happened in person. The first conversation does not have to be in person; many clients prefer it that way.
