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.

Thank you Alister.
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.
