"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."

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.

I personally recommend Clarke and Son Solicitors Ltd. They are highly professional company and I am so glad Mark Chapman was my solicitor dealing with my divorce he is very thorough, I can confidently say that you are in the best safe pair of hands, his legal knowledge is very impressive and he leaves nothing to chance and is a great communicator and explains the pros and cons of the divorce process and helps you understand the legal jargon and he is always available for any questions, he is without a doubt highly professional solicitor and a credit to Clarke and sons, I would also like to thank Mark for sourcing the support of my barrister Max.

Hi Lynden, we really appreciate your feedback and are glad you had such a positive experience with Clarke and Son. Thanks again!
I am an attorney in California, and I needed some quick advice about a case in Basingstoke County. I reached out to Clarke and Son with my question, and very promptly received a response from Andrea Boultor, a solicitor at the firm. Her response helped lead me in the right direction, and helped immensely with my case. I highly recommend contacting Clarke and Son, and specifically Andrea Boulter with any family law matter. Thanks Andrea!
My sister and I used this firm for a very urgent matter. The solicitor was most helpful before our visit, talking to us on the phone as neither of us live in Basingstoke. Andrea Boulter was so understanding and was brilliant when we actually met. Ian Beavon was also extremely helpful and supportive and both put themselves out for us. We still have to go to another meeting but was impressed with our first visit.

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.
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.

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.

This review was submitted by a verified client of Clarke & Son Solicitors Limited.
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.

Hi Gary thank you for your feedback! It is great to here your experience. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any assistance in the future.
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.
