Reassuring, Personable & effective

Calthrops have served this family for over two generations now, and always provide an excellent service in all matters. They respond positively to questions and are reassuring throughout. They have seen me through some difficult times with integrity and kindness.

Somara was so helpful when we were selling our house. She kept us informed all the way and was always there if we had any questions
A pleasure to have her there for us. We couldn’t have had anyone better.

Great Service - Thank you

We had a great experience with Calthrops, in particular Kelly and Christian. Both have helped us with a very difficult process and guided us through what needs to happen. The service was very quick and communication was always great. We are using Calthrops for a variety of different matters going and would recommend them to anyone.

Why go anywhere else..

I have used calthrops before and as always Christian Green offered a superb service... Calling him directly, he is always up to speed on the case and was a pleasure to work with...
Christian orchestrated things for my 80 year old father and using calthrops means stress was kept to the absolute minimum
Competitive, informed and efficient... Why go anywhere else
