I just wanted to quickly convey our satisfaction with David Clarke and his team following our recent purchase of a property in Birchfield Road, Stockport. As expats and nowhere Norwich, confidence was key and David came highly recommended and didn't let us down. We were kept well informed throughout and any queries were answered quickly and satisfactorily. A thoroughly professional job and we would have no hesitation in recommending Leathes Prior to others in the future.
A great many thanks to both Trish and David. Efficient and effective as usual you did an absolutely a first class job in what are very unusual and difficult times. I was particularly grateful to the speed at which you turned everything round so that we could meet the tight deadlines when we needed to. If other solicitors were a quarter as efficient as you the world would run a lot more smoothly.
As always excellent, courteous, prompt and professional service from David.
The sale of my leasehold flat was dealt with very efficiently by David Clarke and despite the extra layer of complexity that is involved with this type of property, there were no major problems. He was also polite and patient at all times and replied to emails very promptly.
I just want to say " thank you" from the bottom of my heart. You are a great solicitor to rely on, and I am really grateful for all your help and advice.
David, you have been incredible! The only competent person in this process.
David Clarke as sharp and efficient as ever.
David Clarke provided an outstanding service.
Once again David Clarke was on the ball ahead of the competition. Easily the best Solicitor for conveyancing I have ever used...
Just superb – great service, great communication, no gobbledegook.
Partner David Clarke is recommended for all aspects of commercial property and residential development work.
