Sent the wrong lease to property auction 🙈
This review is for a different branch.
A few years ago we asked Crane and Walton Solicitors in Ashby de la Zouch to create an auction pack to sell our Tenanted shop in Ashby.
(We had initially purchased the shop using Cranes services)
Our property had a signed Internal repairing lease in situ but Crane and Walton incorrectly submitted a unsigned Full repairing lease to the auction.
Result being the property sold and the buyer then proceeded to sue us for misrepresentation when the tenant presented the new owner with the signed Internal repairing lease.
We made John Crane aware of our problem created by him, he assured us he would sort the problem out, however we then received a letter from John Crane asking us to deal directly with their insurers, (they’d dumped us)
So legal proceedings incurred with us having to deal with Cranes Insurance company and the Claimants insurance company, 2 lots of excessive expenditure for no fault of our own.
We were up to approximately £70,000 in fees when finally settled and lost around half of that due to not being financially capable of perusing Crane and Walton’s error any further.
Summing up - We don’t recommend Crane and Walton and would rate them Zero
