    Conveyancing, which can be complicated, was quick and easy.

    The conveyance process requires answers to a huge number of questions which can be daunting. However I found that using the Cartmell Shepherd App made the whole process easy and most importantly provided a clear update on the progress of the transaction. When visiting their office to sign the contract and transfer Marie was very professional, friendly and delightful to deal with. Based on my experience I would recommend Cartmell Shepherd as an excellent company to deal with conveyancing matters.

    We have always used a different Legal firm which I alway thought were a bit insipid, not inspiring confidence. This was the first time we had used Cartmell’s and we were both pleased with the efficient professionalism of Cartmell’s. Although the house purchase did not happen; on reflection, we are very grateful for the work Elizabeth at Cartmell’s carried out for us. If it were not for her professionalism, we could have walked into an absolute nightmare. We were advised to pull out of the purchase by them. Elizabeth found a number of anomalies in the deeds that would have made us unable to sell the property in the future along with access issues. The vendor had consistently lied to us about regarding ownership and the way the property had been split up. Moral of the story: trust your solicitor and don’t trust the vendor or estate agent! Also, if it wasn’t written down; it did not happen! Would definitely use their services again!

    I used Cartmels (I am a long standing client) for the sale of my property which wasn’t a smooth road. We had fall throughs and a bumpy ride but Sam and her team helped me through it. They are professional and always have their clients interest at heart. I can highly recommend them.

      I can’t recommend highly enough how professional, helpful and supportive Emma has been in helping me deal with my late father’s will and estate. At this obviously distressing time it was so important to have legal procedures and responsibilities explained in a clear yet sympathetic manner and this was exactly what Emma provided.

      Throughout the will writing process, Kathryn was knowledgeable, patient with my many questions, and ensured I understood everything we discussed. She made the process as smooth as possible, even when discussing sensitive topics. I was even given the choice of a virtual or inperson initial meeting. Given how long I was putting off getting this done, in the end Cartmell Shepherd couldn't have made it any easier.
