My experience with CWJ

My wife approached CWJ for a number of services ranging from Wills to LPA, advice on inheritance planning and notarial services. We have received top notch services from everyone we have had to deal with within the firm, including all support staff. A real pleasure.

Superb understanding and conclusion of a difficult sale

Commercial Property

Commercial Property

Superb understanding and conclusion of a difficult sale of a property as part of my bother's estate. The team, recommended to us by Amanda Custis, included Zoe Isted and Laura Thompson. They took the initiative and pressed the buyers sellers in a subtle yet business like way to the conclusion of the sale even gaining a payment for late completion. The sensitivity of the sale was that the property was part residential and part commercial, the shop section being occupied. The ideal outcome was that the shop tenant buy the whole property and this took a lot of sensitive negotiation. If this sale had fallen through it would have been a difficult property to sell. Thankfully Laura and Zoe were tenacious and pushed not only the sale but also the Probate Office in Newcastle (who were dreadful and holding the sale up!). I know the team and Amanda had great difficulty in contacting the Probate Office but eventually got them to complete the Probate. Excellent work by all the CWJ teams who shared all our ups and downs and frustrations in a very human and professional way. Thank you!
