Excellent house sale process

5

Used Clifton Ingram to sell our house, they were professional from start to finish and kept us informed through the whole process.

The sale was not without issues further down the chain, but Clifton Ingram navigated us through the challenges and were always on hand with quick responses to our questions and always gave measured impartial advice.

We have also used Clifton Ingram for a sale of land and to purchase a house for our daughter, we have never had any problems, highly recommended.

Marvellous service

From Lesley & Peter
Jo Reader dealt with our anticipated property sale, and the issues after our potential buyers withdrew.
She was always glad to help and nothing was too much trouble.
Jo always kept us up to date with issues that arose, never left us wondering what was going on, and dealt with them very smoothly and efficiently.
Jo is a great communicator, always came back with answers to questions very quickly, and was always good at meeting deadlines. She was excellent in chasing up queries and willing to go the extra mile.
Jo was always friendly and cheerful, and made you feel a valued client, as has been the case on the numerous occasions we have worked with her before.
We thank Jo very much for dealing with our case so professionally, and looking after us so well.
We highly recommend Jo and Clifton Ingram.

Legal work re property being auctioned

5

I instructed First For Auctions to sell my flat. This is a very successful company which operates on very tight and demanding deadlines and requires an extensive amount of paper work to provide prospective bidders with a legal pack relating to the property being auctioned.

Because of the slow pace at which my family solicitor worked, I asked First For Auctions if they could recommend a solicitor. Jo Reader of Clifton Ingram was highly recommended as they had worked extensively with her and had absolute confidence in her professional ability to handle the related legal and extensive paper work within tight time frames.

I contacted Jo Reader, via email, and asked if she would be prepared to handle the legal work. As an added complication I informed her that the auction would be at the end of the month which immediately created an incredibly tight deadline. Jo response was immediate and positive.

Jo’s work included the preparation of a seller’s legal pack, and involved liaising with the auction company and completing their paper work. Additionally, Jo had to liaise with the property’s service management company (to obtain historical data relating to costs and services provided and undertaken etc) and the company responsible for collecting the ground rent (for historical data re ground rent). Jo also proof read, and commented, where appropriate, on the many forms I had to complete as the property owner. The legal fees represented unequalled value for money. There were no hidden fees and absolutely no small print. Every detail of the legal process and their related fees, was explained in detail with absolute clarity before I instructed her to undertake the work. The final, itemised, invoice, was as expected.

I regularly communicated with Jo, on many occasions several times a day, during which she responded asap often within minutes. Her messages were always precise, with clarity, courteous and professional. At all times, I felt Jo was very happy to receive my messages. Jo made me feel highly valued and respected. Indeed, the attention I received often made me feel as though I was her only client. I felt she was absolutely committed to representing me.

As a result of Jo’s incredible professionalism, I now no longer use my long time family solicitor but direct all my legal work through Clifton Ingram.
Legal aspects in life have always caused me a degree of anxiety and worry just because they deal with legal issues, including fees and the legal process, in the mine field of related paper work. That feeling has now been dispelled thanks to Jo. She has given me total confidence in facing future legal issues and that really is one massive worry off my mind. Jo, you are a credit to your company and I am truly grateful to you. You worked incredibly hard under pressure and you made me feel valued. The sale of my property was a complete, stress free success.

From a friends personal recommendation we chose Clifton Ingram for the conveyancing of our property sale and purchase. Jo was appointed for the process and we were not disappointed, she was very professional, thorough and personable. Even when things got a bit fraught towards getting a completion date sorted she remained composed and helped us through to a successful completion. We would recommend without hesitation.

I unreservedly recommend Joanne Reader of Clifton Ingram Solicitors, Wokingham, to anyone seeking an expert in Residential Conveyancing.

Jo was always immediately available to discuss any developments in the sale of my deceased brother’s property and more recently, the sale of our own property and purchase of another.
Despite matters in both the sale and purchase chains, becoming quite stressful; with one purchaser pulling out and then wanting back in, delays in lodging funds at the bottom of the chain, contravention of planning rules at one property and unbelievably, outdated Land Registry documentation; J0's calm, considered reassurance supported my wife and me throughout. We were particularly grateful for her painstaking attention to detail and keeping us up to date each step of the way, dispensing honest advice whenever we raised concerns.

If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable and extremely capable Conveyancing Executive at a reasonable price, look no further than Joanne Reader, we found her exceptional.

Jo Reader at Clifton Ingram was recommended to me when selling my late father's property via auction. The legal pack was prepared at short notice and following a successful sale, exchange of contracts was completed in just over 4 weeks from sale. Communication was prompt and friendly throughout and any queries responded to quickly. Seemed much simpler than my previous 2 sales with other solicitors. Would definitely recommend.
