Comprehensive and Sensible Information and Advice on Boundary Issue

I made an inquiry to Adrian's firm regarding a potential issue with my neighbour's fence. I was hoping for a realistic appraisal of our legal position and Adrian was kind enough to call me back. After a few questions and sharing of particulars, he was able to explain very clearly the pertinent law and gave a very realistic appraisal of likely outcomes. This was exactly what was needed!

End of commercial lease advice

My company has been a client of Crane & Staples for over 15 years and recently sought advice from Adrian Boulter for the first time in respect of end of lease issues on a commercial property. I found Adrian to be extremely knowledgeable on the matter and has provided us with very professional and pragmatic advice, he was also happy to take then time to explain his advice and was a good communicator. I highly recommended.

Exceptional Service & Communication Throughtout.

Tracey & Heather did all the conveyancing for the sale of my property. Everything was dealt with in a professional, and efficient Manor, with care and attention to detail. I was kept in regular contact with updates on the sale, and informed on a regular basis of any important information. Really pleased & happy with the service provided by Crane & Staples & will be more than content in using the company again when looking to purchase my next property.

I contacted Crane and Staples for some advice regarding a legal matter to which I did not have enough knowledge about. I was contacted by Adrian Boulter (in under than 24 hrs!!) who provided exceptional service with his expert advice, prompt responses, and genuine friendliness. His courtesy and professionalism made my experience truly outstanding. Highly recommend and would urge anyone seeking an established and professional team to contact him!

I am very pleased with the conveyancing team at Crane & Staples. Heather has been very attentive and the team have made sure that I have been kept informed at every stage. This is very reassuring for me as a lay person in what can be a challenging process when buying and selling properties.

Crane & Staples have been my family solicitors for many years now and I have dealt with them for both family and business matters. I can honestly say that their level of service is superb. I have recently been dealing with Tracey Fenner and Chris Brewis regarding some property conveyancing and everything was dealt with smoothly and efficiently. They are a pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend Crane & Staples for assistance with any legal matter.
