Conveyance of Late Parents Bungalow

Clarkes always answer the phone and correspondence quickly. If the person you need to speak to is not available colleagues offer to help, or the appropriate person responds without delay. They are frank in their advice, which was much appreciated in this instance. Polite, professional and approachable, they handled both the Probate and bungalow sale speedily and efficiently.

We have recently had another bereavement in the family and did not hesitate to contact Clarkes again. We are delighted that we are receiving the same excellent standard of service. The solicitors in different sections liaise effectively to make the process as easy as possible for their clients. I do not hesitate in recommending this law firm.

The team were great at getting us into our new home. No question was too difficult and Heather always took the time to explain everything to us. We really appreciate everything Heather and the team did to make everything as smooth as possible for us.

Excellent service

We can't thank each and everyone at Clarkes enough for their first class service. Not only that, we have to say every member of staff we dealt with were so friendly and helpful from beginning to completion. Their efficiency and speed with how they dealt with everything was spot on. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing the services of a solicitor.

Re sale of property at 39 Station Road. Donnington, Telford

This was not a straightforward sale as it involved dealing with a Leasehold Management Company whose procedures were complicated and not easy to understand or implement. It took several months before they produced the required details to enable the transaction to be completed to our satisfaction.
However, we were guided through all this by Natalie Orford whose expertise was invaluable and who did her best to move things along.

The soliton I used (Heather Abboh) was always very helpful and prompt in getting back to me. If she was absent all other staff were great too.

Excellent, comprehensive conveyancing

Our experience with Clarkes has been exceptional. We were unfortunate to experience two abortive property purchases before finding the home we would eventually complete on, and in every case Clarkes were comprehensive in their advice, sympathetic in their approach, and thoroughly reasonable in their fees. Our final purchase was not straightforward, but each aspect of the lengthy sale was dealt with in an entirely professional, always approachable and completely transparent manner. Clarkes - and especially Heather - were always on-hand to update us, discuss our questions and offer counsel. We simply cannot recommend their services enough.
