Watkins solicitors helped us buy our first home. We felt well informed throughout, and our solicitor Cari always responded quickly, kindly and thoroughly :) during absences, our file was progressed by other solicitors who kept the momentum going
I cannot thank Cari Evans enough for the outstanding service she provided throughout the purchase of my first home. From the very beginning, Cari was professional, responsive, patient, and incredibly supportive. She explained every step of the conveyancing process clearly, answered all of my questions promptly, and always made me feel confident that everything was under control. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated throughout the entire transaction. Thanks to Cari’s hard work, dedication, and attention to detail, the exchange of contracts went smoothly, and the whole process was handled efficiently and professionally. Buying a home can be stressful, but Cari made the experience much easier and reassuring. I would also like to thank everyone at Watkins Solicitors for their professionalism and excellent teamwork. I highly recommend Cari Evans and Watkins Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy solicitor. It has been an absolute pleasure working with them. Thank you once again for everything!

This was my first time both purchasing a property and using a solicitor, Watkins solicitors was one of 3 recommended to me by my mortgage broker that he had dealt with previously. I went with Watkins due to the very positive reviews I had read on Google. I'm very pleased that I did as my experience was just an easy process for purchasing a property in a chain, no question seemed like it was silly to ask and the solicitor assigned to my case Morgan was very quick to respond to my questions. Overall I'm very pleased with how the process has been and I'm confident in both recommending both Watkins solicitors and Morgan.

For me it was such an odd concept of not meeting your solicitor for somthing as big as a house purchase, but Morgan has made the whole process painfree. Has been quick to respond both by email and phone. Has given us great advice and resolved any concerns we had swifty. We couldnt have asked for a better experience as first time buyers.

We had a poor experience with Watkins Solicitors in Bristol during our house purchase. We were passed between several solicitors, emails were often sent to only one of us, and we often heard key updates from the sellers before our own solicitors. Documents were disorganised, the client app was never updated, and when we asked for clearer guidance, responses became curt. After completion, we raised a formal complaint, but Watkins Solicitors rejected every concern and accepted no responsibility. A disappointing and stressful process — not recommended for first-time buyers or anyone wanting professional, attentive service.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take concerns like this seriously and are committed to providing a high standard of service and clear communication throughout every matter. If you would be willing to discuss this further, we would welcome the opportunity to review your experience in more detail. Please contact us directly so we can look into this for you.
We recently used Watkins Solicitors for both the sale of our old property and the purchase of our new home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Samantha Finn was absolutely brilliant throughout – professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive from start to finish. She kept us fully informed every step of the way, responded quickly to any questions, and went above and beyond to keep the whole chain moving. Even when things became stressful, Samantha remained calm, proactive, and reassuring, ensuring that everything stayed on track for completion. We are so grateful for her hard work and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Samantha Finn and the team at Watkins Solicitors to anyone buying or selling a home – a truly 5-star service!
Thank you for your wonderful five-star review, Stacey! We are very pleased that Samantha delivered such an incredibly professional and supportive service throughout both your property transactions.
We purchased our new (quite old actually) house using Watkins Solicitors which was a fairly straight forward transaction with no chain. Rebecca (Wilkinson) carried out most of the work for us and with one or two tricky legal hoops to jump through, helped us to complete the purchase on time. Thank you. Phil
Thank you, Phil! We’re glad Rebecca was able to guide you through smoothly and help complete your purchase on time.
We highly recommend Morgan should you need a conveyancing solicitor. We instructed Watkins Solicitors approximately 7 weeks ago for the sale of our house and the purchase of our next property. Thanks to Morgan, we will be completing in two days time. This is a testament to Morgan’s efficiency and professionalism. Morgan responded to all emails within the same day, or the next morning at the very latest. We were kept fully updated throughout this process and could not have asked for a better experience. Morgan was very helpful and friendly throughout. We are incredibly grateful to Morgan for her excellent work ethic and expertise in what has undoubtedly been a very busy time for all conveyancers!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Celine. We’re really glad to hear how happy you were with the service Morgan provided. It’s great to know you felt informed and supported every step of the way. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to Morgan – she’ll be so pleased. Wishing you all the very best in your new home! Watkins Solicitors
We have recently purchased a house in Hereford. From the outset our purchase was not the usual - we were returning from France after more than 20 years. In addition we had quite an ambitious target for completion. Rebecca (Wilkinson) willingly took on the challenge and provided much needed help and assurance at all stages of the process even when we were faced with really stressful issues regarding currency exchanges and limitations on the movement of funds. The whole process was handled efficiently and professionally with Rebecca keeping us informed at all stages. We can’t thank her enough for making a very stressful life event much more bearable and highly recommended her for the service she provided.
Thank you, Paul, for your fantastic review! Moving back to the UK after 20 years abroad is no small feat, and we’re so pleased to hear that Rebecca Wilkinson was able to guide you through the process with efficiency and reassurance. We understand how complex transactions involving currency exchanges and financial restrictions can be, so it’s great to know that Rebecca helped make the journey smoother for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your kind words. Wishing you all the best in your new home in Hereford—if we can ever assist you in the future, we’d be happy to help! Watkins Solicitors

: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Morgan French at Watkins Solicitors has been outstanding throughout the purchase of our first home. From the very beginning, Morgan was professional, responsive and always willing to answer our questions. He kept us informed at every stage of the conveyancing process and dealt with any issues quickly, ensuring everything stayed on track for our planned completion date. Buying your first home can be a stressful experience, but Morgan's communication, attention to detail and reassurance made the whole process much easier for both myself and my wife, Emma. We always felt that our purchase was in safe hands. Thanks to Morgan's hard work and dedication, we completed successfully and are now settling into our new home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Morgan and Watkins Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing solicitor. Thank you again for helping us make our dream of owning our first home a reality. Terry & Emma Franklin

Yatin is the encapsulation of the phrase "above and beyond." If you are looking for a solicitor that understands coercive control, domestic abuse and all of the associated patterns of behaviour, this is the solicitor and firm you should choose. His and his team's care, understanding and diligence throughout was exceptional and restored a lot of faith in our justice system. He takes the time to really understand your case and always acts in your best interests, explaining everything carefully along the way. I really cannot thank Yatin enough. I also really must mention Morgan, who assisted Yatin with my matter, for her extremely professional and dilligent work, and who, again, has a thorough understanding of domestic abuse dynamics, the law and the court system. They make a formidable team.

Morgan has been very clear and adaptive in her approach in handling my case, they keep us informed as much as possible.
Watkins solicitors and in particular Louise Price were excellent in every way. Louise was not only extremely knowledgeable and efficient but personable, kind and supportive throughout what was a difficult time. She gave comfort, confidence and reassurance at all stages and in the court room was a strong, calm and caring guide. She did her job brilliantly and without fault. We would highly recommend Watkins solicitors as a business and also Louise. Thank you.
