Great professional service received following our recent commercial unit purchase

We have recently completed on the purchase of a commercial unit and used Darren at WBW who was fantastic and made the process stress free and always gave an excellent and professional service. His attention to detail and thoroughness was first class. We will continue to use Darren for any future legal work and would not hesitate in recommending him. Emily, his assistant, was equally efficient and helpful and another great member of the team to deal with.

Ben Thomas WBW

Ben Thomas at WBW represented us recently on our property sale.
I cannot recommend highly enough.
Ben was amazing from day one, answering my email within hours sometimes minutes. Reassuring and constructive. He really did make what was a difficult process as seamless as it could have been.We have moved several times and I have never experienced a solicitor so constant and helpful. If I could do six stars I would!!!!

Buying and selling a property

They were very friendly as well as very professional. I hadn't moved for 20 years and they informed me of all the steps and what would happen. We communicated mostly by email and phone which I found ideal. The chain was quite long with many delays but they kept me updated and supported me all the way.

Sale of Property

Louise Crockford has acted for us in the sale of Property. We have always found her to be totally professional and helpful. Everything went very smoothly and we were kept informed at every stage. Telephone calls and e mails were answered promptly. Along with her assistant Karen, they make a great team. Thank you.

Excellent service

WBW have acted for us in several different capacities over the years. We have always been very happy with their service and this was no exception. Louise and her team recently acted for us on the sale of our Father's house. She was helpful, efficient and patient when we asked for clarification on some points. The sale was completed in a timely manner and the new owners very happy.

Stress free house purchase and selling!

House purchase and selling are always stressful times with deadlines to be met and information to be gathered to meet those deadlines. A good solicitor helps to make the process run smoothly and quickly. My solicitor, Marie Moore, if unavailable when I ring, always gets back to me promptly. Emails are answered promptly and her thoroughness going through paperwork is exemplary. She is friendly, professional and competent. I have used WBW on more than 6 occasions and have been very happy with the service they provide. The reception staff are also a credit to the WBW team.
Although I have moved several counties away I will continue to call on their expertise.

Failed to inform me of material adverse information in relation to a property transaction. Charged me for the whole transaction dispute cancelling. Failed to follow own internal complaint procedure.

Avoid this firm at all costs. They work for themselves only and not their clients,

Dear Mr James ,

I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience with us. It is extremely disappointing to have a property transaction that does not complete. As we are not responsible for such failed transactions, if work has been undertaken, we make it clear in our client engagement letter that we will have to charge to cover the cost of this work.

Once again, I am sorry that on this occasion your transaction did not complete.

Sincerely,
WBW Solicitors
