Martin Long was Captain of the ship and steered us through an arduous voyage in some very rough seas. A difficult sale through an extended and turbulent economic period he ensured things were calm when they needed to be and enthused us with great confidence when it mattered. Sally Calvert for the onward purchase was marvellous especially given the difficulties that Covid-19 threw our way. Really happy with the final bill and the service.

Absolute shambles! 6 months to complete on a sale! We were passed around through 5 different conveyancers! We had one who essentially told us we were going to lose our new house as they couldnt get our sale through in time. We were told I have my own clients to deal with as we were paying the company for a service I would assume we were their clients! They seem to forget that you are paying them for a service its not a favour! Towards the end I pointed out how long it had taken for our sale, in response I was told would you rather nobody deal with your file it felt like nobody

The service we received the whole way through was absolutely dreadful. We lost a significant amount of time and money due to the lack of both correspondences and effort on their side. On almost all the occasions of dealing with the solicitor we were always made to feel like they were doing us a favour and we were told they were basically too busy to even deal with our case. We asked our solicitor to provide updates on the vendors onward purchase to understand where we were in the chain, to which we got told by Napthens that the response they had was satisfactory however, they failed

Shannon Thompson has been an excellent support during our house purchase. As a result of her approach and good customer service I placed a house sale with Napthens as well. Very happy with her work.

I am a first-time buyer and just completed on my first property in London through Napthens. Sally Calvert was my solicitor and I cannot recommend her and the company highly enough. Sally and her team (Greg Bird) were extremely communicative, professional and personable from start to finish and went above and beyond to get completion pushed through, despite many difficulties faced from the seller. An excellent company and service provided and would definitely recommend to anyone purchasing a property. Especially first-time buyers, as they take the time to explain the process at every step. Very

We have used Napthens for a couple of years now and we have always had fantastic service from start to finish, Sally Calvert, who always looks after us is superb and it is so refreshing to have a working relationship with someone who understands our needs.
