Beautifully drafted will

Zoe helped me through all the processes associated with my LPA last year so she was my go-to for rewriting my will.
Not cheap, but confident, friendly and super efficient..

Drawing up a will

My first meeting was on Teams and worked well. Details I hadn't thought about were discussed. Draft will needed no amendments and the signing took place at my home.

Robert was proactive, professional and dealt with our home move in a swift manner. He was a delight to work with. We found the process to be stress-free and even though we were on holiday when exchange happened Robert kept us up to date and managed the process.

Gwen was very helpful and efficient throughout the entire process. Gwen and her colleague Patuni kept me informed at every stage and explained everything clearly. If you are buying or selling a property I would highly recommend Copley Clark Solicitors

Excellent service from Jo Martin and her assistant Mandy Hinton at the Reading office on the sale of my elderly mother's house. Since neither party was in a chain, exchange and completion happened smoothly within just a couple of weeks. Communication was good and I would certainly recommend Jo and Mandy.

Outstanding Service from a Top Professional
I have been delighted with every aspect of Gwen’s handling of the sale of my sister's flat. Her communication has been excellent and her response time to queries has been exceptional. My interests have been at the forefront of everything she has done. Thank you so much Gwen.

I had the pleasure of working with Gwen Li and the team at Parfitt Cresswell for the purchase of my first property, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. What can often be a complicated and overwhelming process was made incredibly smooth and stress-free thanks to their professionalism and clear communication. Gwen & Patuni, in particular, were fantastic—knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to explain things in a way that made sense. I felt well-informed and confident every step of the way. I highly recommend Gwen and the Parfitt Cresswell team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional legal service.
