I would like to say that the services and advice provided by you and your team have been excellent throughout and swift. I am happy to recommend your services to others.
Thank you for fitting us in last minute, we were able to complete on the property within the developer's notice period. It was a real pleasure to deal with Spire.
We receive excellent advice from Spire Solicitors, and the firm always exceeds expectations in terms of swift responses and the manner in which they are delivered.
I would like to take this opportunity to give my feedback on the service provided by Roger and Catherine. Firstly, let me thank you both for providing a professional yet friendly approach to conducting the sale of the Belgian Monk. I would also like to thank you for going over and above your responsibilities especially for the additional work created by the other side. What impressed both myself and Linda above all was the long hours you both put in. There was many a night when I thought you had forgotten us. But no, sure enough if we were promised a response then we got it long after normal offices would have packed up for the day. That was something we both appreciated because our working day was also long and it allowed us the time to respond. I also felt that the advice you gave allowed us to make confident decisions based on sound information. Thank you for your support, professional service provided in a friendly way helping to get the sale over the line. There are no negative comments to make as you were always a call or email away.
I have worked with Roger Margand for many years and always find his work ethic and professionalism first rate. That is also clearly reflected in other members of his team.
Spires Solicitors continued professionalism and support of our organisation is first-rate. I have always found them proactive, communicative and very much focused on our needs.
Incredibly attentive and responsive, and its ability to respond to queries immediately is what is most impressive and sets the firm apart from its peers.
The team at Spire has in-depth knowledge of the area they were assisting us with. They always take the time to explain a fairly complex commercial contract in easy to understand layman’s terms and nothing ever seems too much trouble. Always kept up to date and deadlines adhered to. They have a realistic and very transparent fee structure.
Their key strength is that they are incredibly attentive and responsive. Their ability to respond to queries and issues, immediately, is what is most impressive and from our experience, is what sets Spire apart from their peers and is therefore their unique characteristic. They are collaborative and provide understandable, useable legal advice, having distilled the complexities for the non-legal/ laymen to understand. We have frequently reached out to Spire for advice and counsel, and been met with simple to understand, pertinent advice from which we can make logical business decisions.
