Review

I chose Woodfines in Bedford to deal with our house sale and was put in contact with Tracy.
From the beginning I found her easy to talk to, professional and friendly. She kept me informed and explained the process..answering clearly my many questions. I like the fact that she preferred to pick up the phone and talk to me to keep me in the loop.
She’s a great asset you your company.

Genevieve has been fantastic throughout.
Her communication and proactive approach to this matter has been very welcome.
I would have no hesitation in recommending either Woodfines or Genevieve for conveyencing services and will be using them again in the bear future.

Heaving recently re-married and being mature in years, we needed to re-do our wills and powers of attorney.

Disgusting customer service. I call asking for advice. As soon as I said I was a tenant and wasn’t a home owner they shut me down. Wouldn’t help me at all or let me explain why I needed advice. They just assuming I could afford legal fees. They put the phone down on me. If I’ve never been treated so badly I could give 0 stars I would.

Woodfines, were highly recommended by the estate agents and I can see why. Everything was done professionally and timely all the Team have totally took the stress out of helping with the purchase of a commercial building, with difficulties such as initial investor puling out in the last minute. I knew exactly what paperwork they required and all the important documents have all been returned very promptly.
All communications at high level in a very efficient manner, with them looking for our interest at best in liaising with all stakeholders.
A Big thank you to Woodfines Solicitors for all your help on the purchase we have completed recently! Highly recommended!

NO, I do not recommend for conveyancing.
They have caused so much stress, they rarely answer calls or call back. They are rude when they do and are doing basic conveyancing long after you are supposed to have exchanged. Risking a complete collapse of a house sale through their own incompetence.
