I found the whole experience of changing my will and renewing the POAs easy. The solicitor listened to my thoughts and clarified what I required. It was all carried out in a timely manner.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received from my solicitor. From start to finish, they were professional, thorough, and incredibly supportive. Communication was always clear and prompt, and every step of the process was explained in a way that made it easy to understand. Their attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome gave me real peace of mind. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable and expert legal representation.

I was buying and selling a property and as a family member had used Cartmell Sheperd Ltd, and were happy with the services provided I also chose them as well.
I was not disappointed, I received a first class service. If I sell and buy another property I will definitely use the company again.

It took 2 years, 5 buyers and a grant of probate application to sell my Mother's property but Linsey and staff stuck with me all of the way.
The only slight issue I had was with the initial fee quoted that, although not exorbitant, was somewhat higher than the 'Purchase or sale of a freehold or leasehold residential property information on costs' document on the website led me to expect. As far I can tell this document is no longer on the website.
After we had agreed the fee Cartmell Shepherd were good to deal with, proffesional throughout and very fair with cancellation costs when sales fell through for various reasons.

We were very pleased with our choice of solicitors for updating our wills and drawing up our Lasting Powers of Attorney.
The whole process was relaxed and straightforward thanks to the kind attention and advice of Kathryn Barnett who was friendly and professional throughout.
We would certainly recommend the services we received from Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors!
