Stress free conveyancing
Our solicitor Sally Calvert did a first rate job. Very efficient, kept me informed and was always accessible. Very pleased with the service and she ensured a stress free conveyance.
Avoid at all costs
I am currently using the Preston branch to sell and buy a new property, my buyer is using Southport. I thought using the same company would make for a smoother process, but NO! 5 MONTHS after excepting the offer on my property we are no nearer to a completion date,even though Napthens have been working throughout lockdown!? Queries have been raised at the end of june that could've been raised in feb/March! They even "lost" proof of i.d that was scanned in at the Southport office. Never have i experienced such poor service from a firm. I could understand a slight delay due to covid and lockdown but this is beyond a joke now.

Thank You sally Abrams
A big THANK YOU to Sally Abrams for all her help and assistance during a very difficult time. Her mix of compassion and tenacity is just the right combination required for dealing with belligerent ex husbands!!
I would not hesitate to recommend her and her colleagues at Napthens, excellent service all round.

AVOID!!
Sally Abrams sending me harassing emails filled with accusations and nothing but lies, if you want her to write emails with nonsense in for a fee then probably a brilliant service but if you want a relationship with your daughter probably best avoid, as anything will be written and she doesn’t seem to care that a little girl will grow up without a dad as long as she gets her fee, given I already have a court order for access, I'm being harressed and taken back to court to reduce my 2 nights every other week and shared travelling, on the basis that my 5 year old is apparently bored on visits, this women has been given heaps of eveidence that my daughter is being alienated from me, and then i'm threatened with restraining orders if i contact my daughters mother to ask why I can't see my daughter, apparently can't afford to travel halfway as per the court order but apparently has the funds to fund this solicitor to send me numerous and upsetting communications to me, disgusting and morally bankrupt
Great Service and Extremely Efficient
Napthens have been excellent. As a first time buyer the process was very made very easy for me and communication at all stages was fantastic. Thanks so much

Great Experience as a first time buyer
As a first time buyer I didn’t really know where to start and didn’t have a solicitor in mind. I was recommended Napthens by my estate agent, I picked them based on there competitive price in all honesty and I am so pleased I did. The first house I chose fell through after already sending forms and search costs to Napthens, they gave me options to leave it with them on the basis I found another or they’d refund the full amount when I expected they’d charge for the work already completed. I found another house and used the same lawyer Amy Leslie, the whole process was so smooth and she kept me informed by phone and email. Napthens sent me a log on to use there internet progress tracker so I could see what had been completed and what was left to do. I felt totally at ease and when friends advised me I’d need to pester my solicitor to get things moving I didn’t feel like I needed to at all. I have already recommended to friends and family and would definitely recommend. I don’t even live anywhere near a branch so was unable to pop in or speak with anyone in person, the whole process was still manageable over email.

Selling made easy
Used the company for conveyancing. First time to experience this and I could not of asked for a better service. So friendly and absolutely up to date with all information.
I will be moving next year and will be using Jayne Cassidy again. Big thanks also to Hannah Brown.

Exceptional Conveyancing Service
We recently used Sally Calvert at Napthens for our conveyancing on the sale and purchase of a new property.
Sally’s service was incredible we were kept informed at every step of the way and felt Sally really had our back when an issue arose with our purchase. We found the whole process to be extremely efficient on the side of Napthens with almost instant responses to e-mails, regular phone calls and the online portal.
We would certainly recommend and use Napthens again!

Thisrmrsolicitors charge astronomical prices. If you don't pay up on time they will not continue representing you.
There is no personal touch, there is a lack of enpthy for the clients situatimiib.

Sally Calvert was exceptional from start to finish. With buying a repossessed property which was stressful, she answered any queries we had efficiently and in a timely manner and put us at ease with any worries we had.
Could not of asked anymore - Thanks Sally!

Sorry for my previous comments…
Sorry for my previous comments regarding Napthens which were unfounded. It transpires that they were working very hard on this in the background against matters that were beyond their control. The conveyance has taken place within the the timescales that they originally estimated and all is well. Every credit to the team. And no, not under pressure to say this. Would not hesitate to use this team having heard what they went through. Every credit!

Kate Mercer and staff (Blackburn office) have shown professionalism and client care throughout the sale of my property keeping me informed at every step. I would definately recommend Napthens Solicitors.

Copybook Conveyancing!
Napthens were the Conveyancer for the Sale of our Property.
From Day 1 the process was smooth. Completion on the day expected. Excellent Service.
Brilliant conveyancing service
Adam and Rob in the Southport Conveyancing team were both brilliant throughout 2 tricky transactions. Highly responsive and advised us expertly and commercially. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Not without problems but lovely people
Yes there was issues,maybe all not caused by them.But got there in the end,Jennifer and Sarah were both lovely to deal with.

Thanks Mr Lomax
I would like to thank Mr Lomax and his team at Napthens for their excellent work, professionalism, transparency and understanding. He recently helped us in the purchase of a medical centre to convert to a hospital. The building was owned by a big organisation with a complex hierarchy system which made the task challenging to complete. However, his expertise in dealing with such cases made us feel we were in good hands. He did thorough searches on the building and dealt swiftly with all “unexpected” issues which appeared during the process. He insisted to solve all “historical” problems with the building to protect us from any future challenges. It was impressive to deal with all these issues within the time scale he set for us during our initial meeting with him. If we chose a single highlight from our experience with Mr Lomax it would be his communication with his clients. He kept us informed with every step during the process. We got an email or a phone call every week with a regular update. Also, all fees have been explained in detail from the start and through the whole process, there was no “hidden” cost. I would highly recommend Mr Lomax and Napthens and would definitely use them again in the future.
John, many many thanks again for everything, “you were brilliant”
