Exceptional service

5

I worked with Manish Patel to resolve my complicated leasehold agreement situation. Manish provided great advice from the get go, he was approachable and friendly.
There were many twists and turns and required quite a few re-negotiations. Manish always managed them with poise.
Manish's tenacity was evident from our initial conversation. He always kept us apprised of every situation and provided a fantastic service overall, which is more than what others have provided in the past.
I would recommend him in a heartbeat.
Thank you Manish for everything!

Manish over-delivers once again!

5

It’s always a pleasure to work with Manish who is consistently proactive, level headed and supportive of his clients’ needs in all areas as a highly trusted advisor and someone I regard as a core member of my team.

I also massively appreciate the level of accessibility Manish continues to provide to his clients and his consistent willingness to have a conversation, especially towards the business end of property transactions.

His determination and persistence to deliver results for others continues to exceed my expectations and I’m tremendously grateful to have Manish and his colleagues as a core part of my team. Especially with the creativity, performance and positive energy brought to the table every time.

I highly recommend Manish to any property investor looking for world class support on any range of transaction, no matter how simple or creative/ complex the deal structuring itself. He will always be extremely well placed to advise and offer a balanced yet grounded & pragmatic perspective to help any investor fully understand their transactions and highlight any potential risks involved.

Look forward to keep returning to Manish for a helping hand long into the future! Thank you once again for the heart and generosity you put into all that you do for me and all your clients over the years.

Probably the best in the area

5

Having heard good things, we chose C and S to help deal with our Mothers Estate after her passing - Inheritance Tax, Probate.
Suitably impressed, we continued to use them for the sale of her home which we achieved in a timely manner ensuring the Buyers benefited from Stamp Duty holiday. No mean feat considering the short space of time involved.
Both Georgina and Manish were incredibly efficient, knowledgeable of their respective subjects and very professional. Any issues were dealt with straight away.
Considering the restrictions that Covid brought about in 2020 and the race against the clock re: Stamp Duty holiday, it was a sterling effort.
Excellent service.

Just dropping in to express my sincere gratitude to Crane & Staples & in particular Manish Patel and Tracey Fenner. Now the dust has settled from the recent sale of my house, I cannot sing their praises enough. It was the 1st time I have sold a property & only the 2nd time I have ever used a firm of Solicitors, the 1st being when I purchased the house over 25 years ago. It wasnt always straight forward but in all my dealings with them they made the process as painless as possible by not only their expertise & professionalism but also their helpful and friendly manner. I always felt at ease, looked after & in good hands. They were always there for me every step of the way, nothing was ever too much trouble & they took away the worry & stress of it all. So a massive thank you to Manish & Tracey for all your hard work & for guiding me through a very difficult time. I definitely will have no hesitation in using Crane & Staples again or in recommending them to all my friends & family. Kind regards. Angie Perrin.
