Fantastic experience. I brought an auction property and had a tight deadline and CMA were able to complete 1 week in advance of the deadline. I would recommend most definitely.

The lady who dealt with our family in regards to probate of will's & estates was not on the ball, disappointing overall experience.

I used Cryil Morris Arkwright as the Solicitors to buy my first home. Storm Hunt and the whole office team did a fantastic job at explaining each of the steps to me and were professional throughout. I would definitely recommend.

CMA Solicitors of Bolton handled my late Aunts will and sale of her house and they could not have been more helpful with everything. They answered all questions efficiently and quickly and everything ran smoothly as it was a difficult time. Would highly recommend them for all your legal needs thanks.

I sold my late aunt's flat in Bolton, and CMA solicitors were fantastic. I particularly thank and commend Storm who was really on the ball, and answered all my questions quickly and efficiently. A process that I had been dreading, became easy and straightforward with CMA. I cannot speak more highly of them.

Joanne Barlow and her team have helped us to buy and sell several properties over the last 21 years. The service has been outstanding and we have recommended CMA to family and friends who have also been impressed with the conveyancing team. Thanks again for taking the stress out of a stressful process.

I cannot recommend CMA highly enough. I have used them over many years, and have just arranged for them to deal with the sale of my house, and the purchase of my new one. My parents are now also using them for their own house move. Storm Hunt, and Paula Frazer in particular are exceptional. They are both incredibly efficient, professional, thorough and knowledgeable. And in addition, they are extremely friendly and have always gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, and informed. I will continue to ask CMA to help me with anything in the future, even when I am no longer in the local area, I have complete faith in them.
