Conveyancing 2025

Because a friend had given such a high recommendation, I expected a more pleasant, personable experience, but sadly it felt very impersonal. I hoped to meet Isil briefly to build a personal connection but that request was ignored. I had hoped a weekly update would be standard, but instead I had to ask for that each time. It seemed my transaction was very low priority, with quite a long delay after the queries were received before they were dealt with. I did appreciate Liz's explanations the time I had questions and the way things were handled quickly and efficiently in the last week. Technical matter: I mentioned to your receptionist early on that the hold music on the telephone system is very bad (dreadfully distorted music much too loud - annoying and unprofessional) but this remained the same for the full 11 weeks I dealt with the firm. I recommend that a member of staff calls in from outside and asks to be put on hold to experience this! I'm sorry, but few of the boxes below are things I would say about this firm. Someone recently asked me if I would recommend Wragg Mark-Bell and my answer was "no".

I have used WMB twice now as a conveyancer and both times their service has been entirely faultless. They are proactive in progressing the sale/purchase process, highly responsive to communication and patient in their replies to questions that were borne of our ignorance of the house buying process. I cannot recommend WMB highly enough and would not use any other firm for conveyancing if I need to move house again.

The WMB team dealt with my recent business sale and kept me informed at every stage of the process. Isil was both professional and approachable and made sure the outcome was achieved overcoming some challenges along the way. If only all solicitors were as professional as the team at WMB then things would be much easier. Thank you.

We recently completed the purchase of our home and worked with Wragg Mark-Bell Solicitors, and I would like to especially thank Isil Cowman for her excellent support throughout the process. Buying a house can be stressful, but Isil was always professional, patient, and very helpful. She kept us informed at every stage, explained things clearly, and made sure everything moved forward smoothly. Her communication was great and she was always responsive when we had questions. Thanks to her hard work and attention to detail, we were able to complete the process and successfully purchase our home. I truly appreciate the support we received and would highly recommend Wragg Mark-Bell Solicitors and Isil Cowman to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor. Thank you again for your help during such an important moment for us.
