I needed a new will written as I did not like the will that I had. I needed to change the executors to make my will easier for my family in the future. I had my will sorted within 1/2 hour, with a very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with Mr Willoughby.

The solicitor undertook a home visit in order to take instructions as my husband has mobility issues. This made the process a lot easier. The solicitor made a further home visit with the engrossed documentation for signature.

I am an estate agent and was involved in what should have been a straightforward purchase by a first time buyer, buying an empty property. C W Booth were acting for the sellers and the property was empty. In turned out to be a tad more complicated due to a notice place on the property. Also the buyers solicitors were seriously dreadful (personally I would avoid Claire at Michael Cook at all costs). Thankfully we got fantastic comms from Robert Willoughby and those comms helped in exposing the buyers sols for telling untruths/being inept. So thank you Robert (and Louisa) for providing updates on a regular basis and helping get the transaction finally over the line.
