Conveyance with ‘issues’!

We were selling our late daughters flat. It was a Shared Ownership property which complicated things. Then the buyers solicitors had to be replaced. This caused more issues. The whole conveyance took 12 months and we are mentally exhausted. Throughout the process Morgan has been efficient, professional and very supportive. We feel fortunate that she was our solicitor and we highly recommend her, as a solicitor and a lovely woman.

First Will

This was my first experience of writing a will. Mariah was very supportive and was able to answer all of my questions, as well as identifying situations which I hadn't considered. I felt confident I had received a good service.

The service my daughter and her half sisters mum have received dealing with the probate and house sale after the death of her father has been absolutely appalling. Two children lost their farther at a young age and not only has this been really poorly handled at every stage in the process, Tony and the team can’t even make the effort to respond to urgent calls and emails from my daughter when she has been trying to find out what’s going on. This has been beyond distressing for the whole family.

Updated my wills, very swift resolution of queries and completed in 2 visits. Unable to sign my signature due to weakness in my hand, but authorised satisfactorily.

Good experience from start to end of conveyancing

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

Made Our First Home Purchase Stress-Free

: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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

Exceptional

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.

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.

Hi Katharine, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that Louise provided you with such knowledgeable, calm and supportive guidance throughout. We understand how important it is for clients to feel reassured, listened to and confidently supported, particularly during court proceedings. Thank you again for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. Kind regards, Watkins Solicitors
