Separation

Ellesse provided me with good advice through each stage of my separation process. From the point of my first consultation meeting with Ellesse I felt supported. Throughout my difficult journey and knew I could rely on her to keep me on track and help me make the right decisions in order to achieve the best outcome. Thank you Ellesse and also thank you to Sophie.

Amazing Service

Sarah and Claire took care of our remortgage, and it was a pleasure to deal with them both. They were very easy to talk to and always available to pick up the phone if we had any questions. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Exceptional Service

Extremely thankful to Benjamin for dealing with my house purchase in such a professional manner. He made the whole experience of buying a house a less stressful event and kept me up to date with how things were progressing. Emails and calls were answered when needed, and explanations of the 'legal jargon' were given - which is what you would expect from a solicitor.

Friendly but not very attentive

The people we dealt with were friendly, but we often had to chase - and when we did it was as if they were doing us a favour. For example, happy to send this review but haven’t answered my most recent question. Would often not answer queries as ‘didn’t know’ but were to do with the house. Was also sent other people’s information a couple of times.
Reasonable price.

Excellent service everything explained really well

Laura is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process and advised about filling out the forms. She is very patient and nothing is too much trouble. The whole procedure went very smoothly and I have no hesitation in recommending her services and also Clarke's.
