Update Will
We updated our wills which had last been done in 2008. We were also recommended to do a private trust fund on our house so we both own 50% of the property. In the event of one of us going into a care home in years to come 50% of the house value would be protected from Care Home fees.

professional and efficient approach
I used Marie Pym from Clarke & Son Ltd for my recent house sale and purchase and I would highly recommend them. Marie was very professional and hardworking and went above and beyond to get the purchase done quickly to meet the stamp duty change at the end of March. Marie communicated clearly and appropriately at all times and was always available to clarify and/or answer questions despite it being an extremely busy time. I also found the reception staff very welcoming and friendly on the times that I had to pop in to drop things off / pick them up. Thank you Clarkes and Son- I would not hesitate to use you again.

The team at Clarke & Sons are fantastic. We have worked very closely with Nigel Tranah on a number of transactions and he is fantastic. We always know we are getting sound advice, under pressure of deadlines he can absolutely perform and make what feels like miracles happen!
I can't recommend Nigel and the firm enough.
