Exceptional Service

I cannot recommend Manish highly enough! From start to finish, he has been nothing short of amazing. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to my case made all the difference. Throughout the entire process, Manish was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. He made what could have been a stressful situation much easier to navigate with his clear guidance and support. I am so grateful for his hard work and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a top-tier solicitor!

House Sale

Our family engaged Crane & Staples for the sale of our elderly mothers property. Their help was excellent especially as the process took almost 2 years. Their patience and understanding particularly dealing with a difficult housing association was outstanding.
This is the 2nd time we have used them and I would not hesitate in recommending their services. Particular thanks to Heather Charles-Wall and Tracey Fenner.

Severance Agreement Review

It was easy to set up an account, which enabled the download of various documents and allowed me to provide instructions. Following this a meeting on the internet was quickly arranged, where my case was reviewed and various actions agreed. The solicitor contacted my employer and successfully argued the case for me to receive a better settlement.

Lease extension. In hindsight should have gone formal route as free holder went back on agreed value and delayed progress so went below 80 years. Bonnie did very well to deal with this tricky freeholder.

Objection to flue on current property

I had a very brief discussion with Adrian about a long outstanding matter regarding a flue which was erected without committee permission.
His advice has been very solid and I now have a clear understanding of the issue
As it is slightly complex, it is best that personally I do nothing until the point of selling the property.

Crane and Staples are truly amazing. Chris Brewis and Tracey Fenner in particular have worked so hard and efficiently with the sale of my mother's property. All the way through the process they have kept me informed on the progress and what information I had to submit. Any unexpected hurdles along the way (there are always a few) were dealt with speedily and with advice that was superlative.
An absolute first class service. Thank you so much.

Chris Brewis assisted by Tracey Fenner and Jessica Dance provided an excellent service on our probate house sale. I found them to be very responsive and helpful throughout the process. We wanted to exchange quickly and Chris and the team worked diligently and met our target date. The web portal for completing the forms and uploading documents is very convenient. You don't have to use it, but I thought it worked well and saved a lot of faffing around. Happy to recommend.
