Smooth process, would use again
Clowes & Co proved to be the correct choice for us when choosing a conveyacer for our purchase. Despite numerous delays outside of their control they were always responsive and helpful, no matter how naive our questions were. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Difficult Estate Case
I would like to say thank you to Sarah and all the team for their help, advice, professionalism and ultimate conclusion to what has been a very difficult Estate Case.
This is the third time I have used Clowes & Company and have been very happy with their services - first dealing with the sale of our home when we moved to France and then dealing with a Lasting Power of Attorney for my late Mother.
I would not hesitate in recommending them.
