Clarke & Son Solicitors Limited

I cannot begin to express our extreme dissatisfaction with Clarke & Sons, and in particular Marie Pym.

They handled my mother's sale of her house in 2025, and I ended up complaining to the Director in regard to Marie's glacier like pace of work and her complete disregard for her elderly client's situation. Subsequently I received an apology from the Director, along with a discount on services rendered due their admission of poor service.

Fast forward to 2026, and in the hope that the previous complaint would actually effect a different result, we handed Mum's purchase of her new house to them once again. It is at this point that I should probably take full responsibility for that decision. A leopard does not change its spots and, true to that ode, exactly the same poor service, glacial responses to emails (two weeks, sometimes three) and a complete disregard to the needs of a 91 year old woman came to the fore once again.

My advice, for what its worth, is to avoid them (and particularly Marie) at all costs, unless you want a long, frustrating and unnecessarily drawn out affair with little regard for professional and timely service.

I had a very positive experience with Clarke & Son Solicitors in Basingstoke today.

I needed a solicitor to witness and sign a statutory declaration for my business tenancy agreement. I had contacted several other firms before but was unable to get assistance. Clarke & Son were very helpful and kindly allowed me to come in earlier than my appointment.

The process was quick, professional and very friendly. Everything was explained clearly and the whole appointment was smooth and efficient.

Thank you very much to the team for your help. I really appreciate the excellent service.

Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend Mark Chapman and all at Clarke &Sons Solicitors highly enough. He dealt with my elderly father's divorce, professionally, sensitively and with great kindness during a very difficult time. He went above and beyond and we are very grateful. Thank you Mark.

We used Clarke and Son Solicitor for our first home purchase and were extremely happy with the service. Marie and her team were great, explained everything clearly and kept the process moving along quickly so that we could complete before the stamp duty deadline. We would definitely be happy using their services again in the future.

We recently purchased our first home and used Clarke & Sons services. We would like to thank both Marie and Molly for making the process very smooth and plain sailing. We were concerned the exchange would not happen before the stamp duty deadline, but they ensured this was not the case through their prompt dealings with matters. They communicated all relevant information and answered any questions thoroughly when requested. Overall, it was a very stress free experience, thank you once again.
