Outstanding Service from David Stapleton - First Time Buyer Success!

I recently purchased my first home and had the pleasure of working with David Stapleton at Actons Solicitors. From start to finish, David provided an absolutely outstanding service that exceeded all my expectations.
As a first-time buyer, I was understandably nervous and overwhelmed by the entire process. David, however, was incredibly patient and understanding. He took the time to explain everything clearly and concisely, ensuring I understood each step and felt comfortable throughout. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and responded promptly to all my emails and calls.
David's expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the entire conveyancing process. He handled all the legal complexities with efficiency and diligence, keeping me informed of progress every step of the way. His proactive approach and attention to detail ensured a smooth and stress-free experience.
I truly believe that David went above and beyond to ensure my purchase was successful. He was not only my solicitor but also a trusted advisor who provided invaluable support and guidance. I would wholeheartedly recommend David Stapleton to anyone seeking legal assistance, especially first-time buyers who need a friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated professional to guide them through the process.
Thank you, David, for making my first home purchase such a positive experience!
Sincerely,
Mark W

Joint Wills

Hello.

We wanted to create our joint will for piece of mind and to safeguard every eventuality by setting up a trust for our son.

My mum had used Actons for her will and she was very happy with the service she had received from her lawyer, Bindaya Patel

Our lawyer was Charley Bellamy and before meeting her we had drafted our requests for the joint will and she explained what was possible and the best way forward on several legal points.

We felt comfortable with Charley and she was very professional in her explanations on matters in our best interests.

Overall, a very worthwhile and simple process to manage and clarify our legal and financial affairs.

I would definitely use Actons again and I would also recommend their services to others.

So much care and immediate empathy with my issue! Daniel really got 'under the skin' of my problem, understood it, and analysed and explained it with intelligence and insight. I am very impressed - and very grateful.
