I have used Capstone twice in the last eighteen months - Claire Speake for conveyancing and Matt Wright for drawing up wills. I found both to be extremely efficient, knowledgeable, good at communicating and pleasant to work with. At no point did I have anything other than full confidence in their ability to do a good job, and both did! Even though they are far from local to me, Capstone will be my first choice when I need a solicitor again.

We are not yet at the end of our house move process, but already we would highly recommend Capstone Solicitors. We have been dealing with Rob and he has been responsive and helpful for our never ending questions! He has kept us up to date with progress for both the sale of our current house and the purchase of our new house. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Positive:Professionalism,Responsiveness
Would always recommend Capstone Solicitors - I've used them twice for conveyancing and Rob is very organised, professional and helpful. Just completed on an 8 week sale so I'm very happy it was no stress and didn't have to chase a thing.

Highly recommend Capstones solicitors. They have helped our family with LPA, Wills and more recently Conveyancing. Claire was thorough, efficient, responsive and friendly throughout the recent process of selling our Mums house. All managed remotely due to Covid with no delays. Thank you!
