Conscientious and Thorough

I have recently used Crane and Staples for the conveyancing on my house move and can thoroughly recommend them. Easy to deal with, extremely thorough and helpful.

I have already recommended their services to colleagues and would do so in the future too.

Purchase of a house

I met Heather at Crane and Staples. After meeting her, I was confident the purchase of a house was being conducted by a professional and experienced member of the C&S team.

Exceptional Service & Communication Throughtout.

Tracey & Heather did all the conveyancing for the sale of my property. Everything was dealt with in a professional, and efficient Manor, with care and attention to detail. I was kept in regular contact with updates on the sale, and informed on a regular basis of any important information. Really pleased & happy with the service provided by Crane & Staples & will be more than content in using the company again when looking to purchase my next property.

The sale took almost 6 months to complete with both myself and Heather tearing our hair out at the delays and endless questions from the buyers solicitor. Heather remained professional throughout and kept me updated on progress

Exceptional service

I don't ususually leave reviews, but I just wanted to recognise the consistent excellent sevice and advice we have received from Crane & Staples over a number of years and on various matters. Particularly from Heather Charles-Wall helping us with property purchases, David Bird sorting my fathers estate and our wills and more recently from Adrian Boulter for responding so promptly with some great practical advice.

Excellent service, very clear and regular communication.

I would recommend crane and staples, very good service all the way through. It’s a shame other solicitors aren’t as good. A lot of time wasted due to other solicitors inconsistencies. Crane and staples delivered.

Successful House Sale

I have worked with Crane & Staples for over 15 years and have always excellent to deal with, otherwise I would not continue to do so.

The Solicitor and the entire Conveyancing team that helped in the house team were very helpful and lovely to deal with and I hope to continue to work with them in the future.

Professional Service

5

I have recently used Crane & Staples for two house sales and one purchase.
The professionalism of Tracey Fenner and Heather Charles-Walls have been above any other solicitors I have used before.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. Very knowledgeable and very quick to reply.
We have also used the sand firm for years for Wills etc.

We completed on our sale on Friday and have been very pleased with the professional manner in which Heather, her assistant Tracey and the conveyancing team dealt with the matter. I would certainly recommend these solicitors.

I was in a tricky situation having exchanged contracts on my sale before securing a purchase because of the very difficult market. I can't praise Crane and Staples enough for the speed and dedication with which Heather Charles-Wall worked to ensure a fast completion on my purchase. Instead of needing a very expensive and difficult to secure rental contract and contents storage, her efforts ensured I was able to take just a two week holiday between moving out and then into my new house. I can't praise her enough. Outstanding service.

I was recommended Crane and Staples to progress my house sale having previously used another firm where I had nothing but issues. Heather was my contact who acted for me, I cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work and guidance she gave me. I would 100% recommend and will be using the firm again.

Heather Charles-Wall has helped me buy and sell several properties over the years. The service she and her colleagues have provided has always been extremely thorough and friendly. Unlike with previous firms, I have never had a problem trying to get hold of them, or find out what is going on and Heather has gone above and beyond to make sure transactions go through as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend Crane and Staples.

We have just used Crane and Staples for conveyancing as we have used them in the past.

Heather Charles-Wall and her team carried out most efficiently and dealt with all our queries. Tracey Fenner handled many of the queries we raised and dealt with them quickly by email or telephone.

I would highly recommend this company for conveyancing work and we have also found them to be very helpful with wills and power of attorney
