Beyond Exemplary

Recommended by our estate agent. Not always a good sign (!) but I can see why. They were fantastic. Everything went so smoothly. Simon and his team couldn’t have been more professional. Wanted for nothing. Don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed.

Helpful and friendly

The conveyancing team at Clarke and Son were first rate. Simon and his team kept us up to date on all aspects of the process. Any niggling questions that were needed answered were answered to ensure peace of mind. Could not recommend Simon, Sue and Stephanie highly enough.

Absolutely excellent. We were recommended Clarke and Son by a friend and are so grateful for it. We didn't have the simplest process in purchasing, for external reasons, but Simon was excellent, fast to respond and polite form start to end. We have a few other matters to wrap up, Becky is also being brilliant dealing with these. Can highly recommend!

A client

I was so lucky I came across Mr Simon Pook at Clarke and Son as he was so different to my previous solicitor. Mr Pook is very tune to the need of a client and extremely helpful as well as patient in clarifying any queries. He is incredibly efficient, conscientious professional and one of rare kind of solicitors with ‘where-is-the-will-there-is-the way’ approach. Mr Pook manages his clients’ expectation well, but if there is any slim chance to do something even more efficiently, he will let you know. I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Pook. I am extremely grateful for all the help and determination as he managed to complete the sale of my flat and then help me with buying house. The whole process took less than 7 months and this included time which we needed to find a new home. This was very impressive. I need to add Mr Pook has an extremely diligent team supporting him as well as the client (Thank you Miss Amy S).
