Excellent experience - highly recommended.
I cannot recommend Jo Reader highly enough for her outstanding legal support. From start to finish, Jo was professional, efficient, and thorough in handling my case. She provided clear guidance across multiple areas, ensuring I understood every step of the process.
What stood out most was her responsiveness—Jo replied to emails promptly and kept me informed at all times. Her attention to detail and dedication gave me complete confidence in her work.
If you’re looking for a solicitor who is both highly skilled and client-focused, Jo Reader is the perfect choice. Thank you, Jo, for your excellent service—I’d gladly work with you again!

Attn to detail and management of expectations
Thank you so much Jo for the amazing job you've done conveyancing. The constant updates and the management of expectations really stand out making the process so much less stressful. Having moved previously, and also having estate agents this time that don't provide updates or when they do they seem to be wishfully promising things will happen with no actual proactivity to make it happen, I really appreciated your updates and realistic expectations. Your attention to detail is amazing. I really recommend Jo, thank you!

Excellent service
If google can give 10 stars I would give 10. Jo is a very professional, efficient, quick reponse solicitor who will always update our case status and provide professional advise when we have problems. She just needs 2 months to complete our selling & purchasing after take over our case from another firm wiho did nothing for 3 months! If you want selling/purchase the property efficiently with no stress, please do not hesitate to contact her.

Outstanding Service from Jo Reader at Clifton Ingram
As first-time buyers working to complete before the end of March 2025 stamp duty changes, we were understandably nervous about the process. Clifton Ingram was recommended to us by our estate agents, and choosing them turned out to be the best decision we could have made.
Jo Reader was absolutely amazing throughout. From the moment we started our journey in January, she was organised, responsive, and incredibly supportive. She was always available during working hours to answer our questions and guide us through every step, making what could have been a very stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward.
Everything was handled efficiently, to a high standard, and always on time. We’re so grateful for Jo’s professionalism and dedication, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clifton Ingram—especially Jo—to anyone buying a home.

Selling of House
Jo took over the selling of my house half way through the process as Roxanne had moved to a different dept. Some information from a third party was required which was not easily obtained. Jo patiently persisted until we had the documents required and then had to deal with less than efficient buyers solicitor. Apparently this is normal but Jo kept me in the loop phoning regularly with the current status and responded promptly to my emails. Thank you.

Great service
Sold my Uncles house via the auctions. Jo Reader was our nominated solicitor via the auction house. Within in an hour of engaging her services, we had all the relevant paperwork by email. Subsequent emails followed. Once the sale was nearing completion all the paperwork was signed and point into place. She dealt with the equity release payment for us and was always quick to return the originals of the documents she requested.
