Great Service

We used Calthrops to write our Will which we had put of as we thought it was a complex and expensive process. Tracey and Julia made the whole process easy and understandable. They explained each step of the process thoroughly and helped us to understand the legal jargon. we would highly recommend Calthrops.

Our whole experience was excellent. The receptionist greeted us on entering the building, was very friendly and made us feel welcome. our friendly Solicitor was very efficient. The whole process was painless and easy to understand. We were offered very good advice on one aspect of our Wills and I would certainly recommend Calthrops to friends and family.

First time ever drafting a Will

I was quite apprehensive initially as I had never had a Will and didn't know what to expect. Julia greeted warmly by the ladies in reception didn't have to wait hours for Julia who armed with a big smile. she put me at ease right away. I explained that I was going in for surgery in a couple of days and drafted the will ready before then. it was done efficiently with great sympathy. 5 star service

Professional, friendly, and informative!

We bought a new build property in December 2023 and Somara Donger was our solicitor. Despite my partner and I having a help to buy ISA and a life time ISA, Somara was able to meet our target date of completion in just 6 weeks. Somara was very approachable and able to talk us through step by step on what we needed to do. She was also brilliant at giving us regular updates on how our purchase was progressing. We didn't have to chase anything up as Somara was so proactive and responded to our emails the same day. Somara also provided a reasonable quote, which did not change when we completed. We couldn't recommend Somara enough!
