Totally professional & efficient, friendly and very helpful.

We have met with Ms Naomi Message on a few occasions now, firstly to make our Wills and then a number of months later to amend them. Calthrops communications are excellent, the team are all friendly and welcoming including the receptionist. It feels very reassuring to be in safe hands and comfortable enough to ask advice, however silly it may seem. All at very reasonable cost.

Naomi provided an excellent service when she drafted our wills. She answered any questions promptly and always explained in a way we could understand.
It was great communication and we felt the cost of the service was very fair.

With regards to the business itself, it was perfect, the receptionist and solicitor were friendly, helpful and diligent, they are definitely worthy of the 5 stars as I couldn't fault them in anyway.

However, the building they work from was a disabled nightmare... Uneven and worn out stone steps made it impossible for wheelchair users to gain entry. As for people with mobility issues it was unsafe. There was no handrail, but did have a spiked metal fence either side of the steps which, with careful use could help. There could be the ability to install a handrail on the metal fence? And visual aids on the worn part of the steps.
Once inside the floors were uneven and had moving mats. The doors were narrow.

This reflects on old towns not accommodating for disabled users which I find Holbeach to be the worst in this area.
I did not ask if there was another entrance. But did find their spalding site to be disabled friendly for future use.

I did not book this appointment, I was there to help with a documentation.

Our experience with Zoe at Calthrops met and then exceeded all expectations. Zoe was quick, efficient, responsive and got the job done, taking a huge amount of stress out of the house buying process for us. I would highly recommend Calthrops for conveyancing services. Thank you Zoe.
