Sophie and her team we’re amazing from start to finish. Kept me fully up to date and were very reassuring when needed. I would 100% use them again. Everything was able to be completed remotely and by post. Will be recommending them to all my family.

We have used Alister Jones at Clark Willis for two property transactions so far (one sale and one purchase) and in both cases we have been impressed. Alister has a proactive approach to chivvying along somewhat less-than-organised conveyancers on the other end of the process and he clearly explains and contextualises any legal technicalities which arise during the transaction. For example in our sale we had to ask the Land Registry to clarify their not quite accurate records of access rights over a non-adopted road to the house using information in the original 19thC deeds, which course of action Alister discussed with us and then processed with the registry. In our recent purchase the house was subject to several archaic restictive covenants the implications of which Alister explained in clear English. This purchase had to take place over an extended time period because of the personal circumstances of the seller, and Alister pro-actively made sure that we were kept informed of progress even though the seller's solicitors were extremely dilatory at responding to questions, and then he worked hard to move the transaction to a successful and speedy conclusion within a week as soon as the final sets of answers were received.
Throughout the transactions it was very easy to get direct access to Alister via email and over the 'phone, and we also like the fact that CW have a physical office right in the centre of Darlington.
Both of these transactions were carried out at fee rates which I regard as *very reasonable indeed* for the high quality of work and documentation received, although I know I shouldn't say this! As I said above, we will certainly use Clark Willis again - not just for property work but also to revise our wills - and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

We received an excellent service overall from Alister. Very responsive, and kept us in touch regularly with progress. The clear pricing and "all -in" fee structure was appreciated and I believe offered good value for money.

When my original solicitor left the firm one of the Directors, Tanya Bloomfield, took charge of my case until someone else could be recruited. I found Ms Bloomfield to be confident and professional and I was satisfied with the way she progressed my case. Later Karen Young was appointed and took over my case. Ms Young added personability to the handling of my divorce and steered it to a successful conclusion. I am thoroughly satisfied with the service given by Clark Willis.

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.

"I had a difficult start with a previous solicitor, but working with Emily made all the difference. She was efficient, friendly, and delivered exactly what I needed. Emily's professionalism and supportive approach made the entire process smooth, and I am truly grateful for her help and guidance. Highly recommend!"

We bought a house which had to go through probate twice. The purchase took 6 months to get over the line. There was a lot of ups and downs over the 6 months. Rachel Kilcran was our solicitor from the Darlington office, she was very polite and professional and did all the legal work for us. It was a slow 6 months wait then a hectic last few days especially the last day to close the sale. We got there in the end though. Thanks.

Alister was our conveyancing solicitor when we moved house. He was extremely professional throughout the whole process, going out of his way to make sure we understood everything. He went above and beyond to overcome some challenging circumstances to ensure we completed on our desired date and I would recommend him to anyone.

I have used CW solicitors but specifically Alister and Rachel for my last 3 mortgages/Remortgages.
The reason i keep returning is because both my wife and I are extremely well looked after by Alister and Rachel. They are extremely thorough in every aspect of their work. No stone left unturned, to make sure we as clients, have been fully informed with all the facts and completely put at ease during the process. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending CW solicitors to anyone. A real first class solicitors doing a stellar job and looking after their clients to the best of their ability.

I cannot thank and recommend Nicola Merson Family Solicitor enough! She has been fantastic at dealing with a child arrangements order and specific issues order for me with a successful outcome at the courts. I will be forever grateful for your kindness, professionalism, communication and all round support. I couldn’t have done it all without her! She really understood and listened and her knowledge was outstanding. She was the calm to the storm I was facing and put me at ease and she is an asset to the Clark Willis Team.
