More Than a Solicitor During a Difficult Family Transition

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some professionals simply do their job well. Others leave a lasting impression because of the way they treat people. Melynda Arnold falls firmly into the second category. Following the difficult decision to sell my parents' family home of 44 years after both moved into residential care, our family found ourselves navigating not only a property transaction but also a significant life transition. Throughout the entire process, Melynda was exceptional. Professional, knowledgeable and responsive at every stage, but equally important was the kindness, patience and understanding she showed towards our family. She took the time to explain everything clearly, always made us feel supported and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us. What could have been an incredibly stressful experience became a smooth and well-managed process because of her guidance and expertise. We will always be grateful for the support she provided during such an emotional chapter in our lives and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor who combines outstanding professional knowledge with genuine compassion. Thank you, Melynda.

Matter RefC23701 Re Auction purchase in Wymondham

Having no experience in purchasing property in the United Kingdom I was delighted and by chance to meet Protima Sikdar-Wood at Spire Solicitors in Wymondham, Norfolk. I found her to be professional and clear and extremely helpful. Due to such short notice she also instructed her secretary Alison Crysell to keep me informed at every step and even went the extra mile to do so.

Spire Solicitors LLP

Dear Jennifer, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that Protima Sikdar-Wood and Alison Crysell provided professional and helpful support throughout your property purchase. Sincerely, Spire Solicitors

Failed to check that a property completion date had been set when they were closed for a training afternoon resulting in sale not completing and extra costs.

Having reviewed our records, we can confirm that we have not acted for you in this matter. Whilst you may have been involved in the wider transaction chain, we provided no legal services to you and owed you no professional duty. As such, this review does not relate to any service provided by our firm and may be misleading. We note similar reviews have been posted against other law firms who sat within the wider chain of transaction. If you have concerns regarding your transaction, please raise them with the solicitors who acted on your behalf. Spire Solicitors LLP

Recently purchased a property in the local area and was recommended Spire Solicitors by a family member. I was working on a tight completion date before the end of the financial year, David and his team went above and beyond to assist in ensuring this deadline was achieved. I would highly recommend Spire's conveyancing team to anyone currently seeking legal support with purchasing a home.

A client

Jasmine Gay was very professional and personable in all our dealings with Spire Solicitors. She answered our questions with very little delay and while sometime the sales process became very complex she handled all situations with efficiency. The sale’s property involved one of the owners living overseas with a significant time change, which made communication sometimes more difficult but she worked with us to try and make the process as seamless as possible. We were happy with her services.

We have had an excellent experience with the conveyancing of our mother's house. All communications were handled promptly and effectively from the initial Client Care matters to completion. Every enquiry was responded to quickly. The team handling our work was seamless in covering occasions when our lead contact was not available (and we were notified about this in advance, so we knew who to ask for) Thank you for such good service.

Excellent service handling the sale of our land

Thank you to Tracy Guest and her team for providing an excellent service handling the sale of our paddock at auction. From our first conversations with Tracy we were confident that we had chosen the right solicitor to prepare a legal pack for auction and carry out the conveyancing following the sale. We were kept well informed throughout and were delighted that whole process was completed in a short period of time. A very pleasing result.

If there was a way of giving less than one star that would be my rating. Awful, does not begin to describe this firm. An estate they said would take 6-8 months to complete, still dragging on 18 months later! Astronomical charges, very very poor service and don’t bother raising a complaint, that’s a complete waste of time! My recommendation DON’T use this firm!! 🤬🤬
