"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.

Perfect

Clarke & Son acted for us in both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new one. Absolutely professional service and everything was handled without any issues whatsoever. They have also acted on our behalf on another legal matter which was handled very sensitively which took a lot of the stress and worry away from us. We will never use any other firm if we need a solicitor in the future. Highly recommend.

First class conveyancing

Rebecca, we have trusted Rebecca with many of our conveyancing requirements over the years and she has never let us down. Friendly, efficient, tenacious and always willing to provide advice and updates on the process. I would definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone.

It's a classic 'avoid at all costs' I'm afraid. Used the twice. Same Outcome!

I cannot begin to express our extreme dissatisfaction with Clarke & Sons, and in particular Marie Pym. They handled my mother's sale of her house in 2025, and I ended up complaining to the Director in regard to Marie's glacier like pace of work and her complete disregard for her elderly client's situation. Subsequently I received an apology from the Director, along with a discount on services rendered due their admission of poor service. Fast forward to 2026, and in the hope that the previous complaint would actually effect a different result, we handed Mum's purchase of her new house to them once again. It is at this point that I should probably take full responsibility for that decision. A leopard does not change its spots and, true to that ode, exactly the same poor service, glacial responses to emails (two weeks, sometimes three) and a complete disregard to the needs of a 91 year old woman came to the fore once again. My advice, for what its worth, is to avoid them (and particularly Marie) at all costs, unless you want a long, frustrating and unnecessarily drawn out affair with little regard for professional and timely service.

A representative from Clarke & Son Solicitors Limited responded to this review

It is regretful you consider that the service your mother received did not meet your expectations. We have investigated and responded to you directly. We consider that the service provided was appropriate in all the circumstances. We would observe that the transaction completed promptly and within a reasonable timescale. We do not wish to discuss further on a public platform in the interests of client confidentiality. We appreciate that we do not take the same view on this occasion. When there was an issue on a previous occasion we took note of that. When issues occur we take these seriously as part of our commitment to providing a good service to all our clients. In particular, we support the work undertaken by our employee, Marie Pym, and consider that on all occasions she acted professionally and in the best interests of our client.

Selling and buying

I have used Clark’s with Marie twice now to both buy and sell a house. She is a very good communicator and discussion was had when things don’t go exactly as planned as they invariably do.

Conveyencing of

I would highly recommend Clarke & Son for conveyancing. The process has been smooth, streamlined and i have been kept well informed along the way. Marie Pym & Rebecca Pumford have both been there as and when needed. I have also chosen and instructed Marie for my onward purchase in Romsey. As well as Kate for assisting me with Lasting Power of Attorney. So all in all, a very happy client.

Reliable, Helpful, Trustworthy

My family generations back had used Clarke & Son for Wills and dealing with Estates, so it just seemed fitting that when my mum passed last year I instructed Claire Redhead to deal with her estate. Mum had been in care home with mixed dementia so it was an impossible task for me to deal with the fees for that and the remainder of the estate as there was also a property to sell which another solicitor was acting. I warmed to Claire straight from the start. She could see that I was distraught and spent time with me face to face, emails and over the phone explaining everything in detail. If I didn't understand she would break it down so I did. Claire always kept me up to date of events as they passed. I didn't once feel pressurised. She was always there for me. If you want a reliable, trustworthy solicitor then Clare Redhead is the person you need.

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.
