Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

David studied law at Exeter University before completing his post graduate legal training at the University of the West of England. He then trained and qualified with a large national commercial practice based in Bristol and qualified as a solicitor in 2007. He returned to North Devon and joined Toller Beattie LLP in 2012, being made a partner in 2014. Whilst he has significant experience of dealing with light commercial transactions his specialism is now residential conveyancing. The majority of David's working day is spent advising purchasers of New Build Homes across a range of residential developments in the South West. He also acts for developers in establishing the legal paperwork for residential estates and then disposing of individual plots. Outside of the office David is a keen sports fan and participant (particularly football, racket sports and golf). He is a third generation Arsenal fan and current Chairman of Lynton & Lynmouth AFC. To the detriment of his waistline he also very much enjoys socialising, cooking, eating and drinking decent ales (including those brewed at his sibling’s commercial brewery). In what seems like another life he has previously acted as a County Court Advocate (undertaking over 1200 County Court hearings) and held a lease of his own Fish & Chip shop (another family obsession).

Moving Home.

Dave Eastman proved to be an excellent solicitor for buying and selling in the rather bumpy current housing market. Liz Eastman is the best communicator and support anyone could possibly have during such a stressful time. Thank you Wollens.

Excellent Conveyancing!

We recently sold a property and the team at Wollens, especially Liz Rigden were absolutely brilliant. Liz gave us great advice on what would be needed to secure a smooth transaction which meant we were able to get ahead of things, rather than waiting for the buyers Solicitor to request specifics. The Buyers solicitor sadly were not as efficient as Wollens, but Liz proactively chased which helped a huge amount in getting the sale completed. The fees charged were very fair too. Highly recommended.

Excellent solicitors

I worked with David Eastman and Asia on the purchase of a house for a Community Trust. From the moment I had my introductory conversation with David to completion I found David and Asia to be easy to talk to, straightforward and helpful. It was not a straightforward transaction but they always remained in contact with updates and advice. I highly recommend this solicitors and would use again without hesitation.
