I have no hesitation in recommending Alex May following using the services of Clarke and Son and in particular Alex.
Meetings were held both virtually and in person and Alex was able to articulate and explain the documents in a way that made understanding very easy for me.
All emails were responded to promptly with all matters followed up in a timely manner.

I moved (sold and purchased) during covid when the news was telling us it was taking 6-12 months, Simon had me moved in a normal timeframe. Then Simon and the team manage the sale of my mother house, with the same great service. And now I have sold and purchased again and had the same great experience. Highly recommend.

We updated our wills which had last been done in 2008. We were also recommended to do a private trust fund on our house so we both own 50% of the property. In the event of one of us going into a care home in years to come 50% of the house value would be protected from Care Home fees.

The team at Clarke & Sons are fantastic. We have worked very closely with Nigel Tranah on a number of transactions and he is fantastic. We always know we are getting sound advice, under pressure of deadlines he can absolutely perform and make what feels like miracles happen!
I can't recommend Nigel and the firm enough.
