‘Their ability to respond quickly to deadlines with a high degree of accuracy, quality and subject knowledge is the best I have found. They are able to offer experience and advice through tricky and often complex dealings.’
‘Andrew Devereux has a vast knowledge of land transfers, leases and land and property queries. He understands the most complex issues and always provides an excellent standard of service. He familiarises himself with the local area which gives him a greater understanding of matters.’
‘They dealt with our sale of a complex property with professionalism and keeping us completely informed about how the sale was progressing. The sale was very stressful for us due to the buyer and his solicitor delaying the sale. During this time our solicitor was able to give us useful advice on how to proceed. During the sale we were always given an alternative contact number if for any reason our solicitor was unavailable.’
‘Whatever the matter is, I feel that as client I can raise things with both the solicitor or trainee dealing with it but also feel confident that one of the partners is also being kept informed and will respond if contacted directly.’
‘Have been dealing with Simeon Clipstone for many years and he always responds to matters with a very prompt turnround so it feels that your business is wanted and also that the issue in hand is getting thorough review and response.’
