We recently sold a property, and from the moment of being instructed, everyone at Crane and Staples , and particularly Kuldip Chima and Katie Smit, were a first class.

Excellent Service

5

We approached them to write our wills following a recommendation from a couple of friends who had received good service. We met with Katie and cannot fault the service we received from her, extremely professional, polite and knowledgeable. Explained everything in easy to understand language and wills now written and signed.

Probate Review

5

Our family has used Crane and Staples (who were named as executors on our father’s Will) through a very complex probate process involving five separate jurisdictions. David Bird has been a steady pair of hands, giving wise counsel at stressful times. He has been methodical and efficient, quietly getting the job done.
Separately we have also used the firm to sort out property and Land Registry issues and I cannot recommend Katie Smits highly enough too

An absolutely outstanding service by Katie Smits who managed a complex purchase under a tight timeline with consummate ease. Her communication with us and guidance throughout the process were excellent.
