Clark Willis Solicitors

My sister recommended that I use Clark Willis Solicitors when I was selling my house as she had also used them for her conveyancing. Alister Jones was in charge of my file and the process took an extraordinarily long time due to complications in the chain .... which was out of our control. However Alister kept me well informed along the way and reassured me when I thought it was never going to get to completion.
Rachel the conveyancing assistant was also very helpful and polite.
I would absolutely recommend Clark Willis Solicitors.

Alister, helped get a very challenging situation across the line, handling all aspects of the transaction, his approach and experience allowed me to forget about the smaller details and leave him to guide me through the process, Alister and Rachael Morris are a great and capable team and I will be using them in the future and have already recommended them both to friends.

First rate service

Having only fairly recently moved into our last property, my husbands unexpected death necessitated me moving again to a smaller property, nearer family. Alister and Rachael helped me every step of the way with their professionalism, kindness and by being at the end of the phone whenever I needed answers to, what were sometimes, fairly basic questions and face to face when needed. They made selling and buying both properties as stress free as I could ever have had hoped for. I would definitely use their services again and recommend them to family and friends.

Having never sold a house before, my sister Caroline and myself were quite lost. Alister and his secretary Rachel, were so kind and steered us through with ease.

Alister mainly dealt with my buying and selling my property. He was excellent in dealing with any enquiries. Always professional but friendly. At times I did communicate with all the rest, who were very good.

I have used CW solicitors but specifically Alister and Rachel for my last 3 mortgages/Remortgages.
The reason i keep returning is because both my wife and I are extremely well looked after by Alister and Rachel. They are extremely thorough in every aspect of their work. No stone left unturned, to make sure we as clients, have been fully informed with all the facts and completely put at ease during the process. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending CW solicitors to anyone. A real first class solicitors doing a stellar job and looking after their clients to the best of their ability.

Excellent solicitors in Northallerton. I absolutely recommend Clark Willis. We have used them on 4 occasions in the last couple of years for buying a house, selling a house, writing our Will and for legal advice and on each occasion Faye and Alistair have been friendly, efficient, proactive and approachable.

Had to purchase a property in the uk whilst living overseas. Not the easiest of processes but Alister and Rachel at Clark Willis made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Thanks to them we now own a property back I the uk. Look forward to using their services again if the need arises.
