Went above and beyond throughout this process- thank you

I have been delighted by the high standard of service I received and the fact that Faye Edemenson, solicitor continued working on every unexpected twist and turn with a smile on her face and a plan to deal with it in a calm and methodical manner, when it sometimes felt insurmountable. On top of this I cannot believe that this service didn’t cost any where near what I expected. I can highly recommend this company from the friendly receptionists to the solicitor herself, I would 100% return to Clark Willis again.

Faye Edemenson and her team were nothing short of amazing. Very professional, helpful, efficient and highly approachable. Nothing was too much trouble, going the extra mile on more than a few occasions to complete all that was required on a sale that was onerous. I cannot say enough on how much I was impressed with the way all situations were handled. Thank you.

Professional and approachable

I had previously arranged an earlier will using a telephone service. I thought my will was ok. It was only when I wanted to update my will, and decided to use a local solicitors, that I realised how bad my original one was. Louise was professional and approachable, she highlighted things to me to help me think and decide what I wanted for myself. That guidance about what to think about was really helpful to me and wasn’t something I had experienced before. I encouraged my partner to use her services too.

Alister, helped get a very challenging situation across the line, handling all aspects of the transaction, his approach and experience allowed me to forget about the smaller details and leave him to guide me through the process, Alister and Rachael Morris are a great and capable team and I will be using them in the future and have already recommended them both to friends.

First rate service

Having only fairly recently moved into our last property, my husbands unexpected death necessitated me moving again to a smaller property, nearer family. Alister and Rachael helped me every step of the way with their professionalism, kindness and by being at the end of the phone whenever I needed answers to, what were sometimes, fairly basic questions and face to face when needed. They made selling and buying both properties as stress free as I could ever have had hoped for. I would definitely use their services again and recommend them to family and friends.

Im always nervous of approaching a firm for a solicitor as worried about cost, whether I will get clear communication and could not have been happier with Clark Willis. Faye our solicitor was brilliant and so friendly and helpful. She made a difficult and complicated time, so much easier. A friendly professional service from beginning to end. Thank you everyone.

Every industry has a ‘Greatest of all time’ (GOAT for short) football has Messi, golf has Tiger Woods, basketball has Michael Jordan. Clark Willis has Faye Edemenson, the undisputed greatest solicitor of all time (UGSOAT for short). Thank you Faye.

After having read all the previous reviews, there's really not much we can add about Faye's overall contribution to our successful purchase of a property. We would like to confirm to potential clients of Clark and Willis that, despite the complexity of conveyancing, having someone like Faye on our side has made the process so much easier. Faye's explanations were timely and clear and she had a very professional, but easy-to-understand approach to supporting us.
