Stressful purchase made so much easier

My house purchase was extremely drawn-out and stressful, but Rosie and team were there to answer questions and offer advise every step of the way. They were super helpful and communicative and always quick to respond to emails. I really can't recommend them enough!

Rebecca Saunders - The best in the business

My wife and I had gone through some recent difficult times with another solicitor on a previous property, we didn't actually end up buying that property, having sold ours this meant we had to go into rented accommodation (eventually) and move 3 times in the space of month before Christmas with 2 young kids! Not much fun!

We decided to search for Rebecca as she had helped us with a previous property purchase so we knew we could trust her, and after losing nearly 13k with the last sale and solicitor we needed someone we could rely on.

Rebecca is by far the best in the business, she is an outstanding professional who I believe is a credit to her company and chosen profession

From start to finish she helped us with our purchase. She went the extra mile to offer a solution, chased and chased other parts of our buying chain and did so much more than we had expected. She contacted us frequently with information and always returned an email on the same day, I honestly can't praise her enough at how good she is at her job. If we ever buy another property she will be the only person we choose.

She's that good, she even knew how good the weather was in Cyprus when whilst we were on holiday!!!

Honestly, her attention to detail is unparalleled , she's worth every penny.

Codie and Tom have supported us through our sale and purchase - they have been nothing short of amazing and we genuinely feel if it wasn’t for them being so informative and proactive we would never of got to completion with our sale! Our chain was complex and they both managed this from the outset so efficiently and really kept things moving for us. Today was completion and we just want to say THANKYOU! we would highly recommend you both

Me and my partner bought our first home last year with the help of Wednesday and the team. Couldn’t fault them at all! So helpful and made the process less stressful for us, will always recommend these and will definitely be using them again!

I got into my house in a timely fashion, but had *I* been less organised, I doubt it would have been the case. I found my conveyancer quite detached from proceedings, difficult to communicate with and at times errors were made over silly little things (misreading paperwork, misspelling of my name) that caused me a huge amount of stress unnecessarily. I can only imagine that the conveyancer must have too high of a case load for this to happen. Otherwise, it does not seem that they were qualified for the task. Despite knowledge of my completion date over 2 weeks before, exchange wasn't attempted until 2 days before and was delayed to the point that it had to happen on completion day, and I was told the day before that completion may not occur. This was 2 days before my eviction date at my previous property. I found Laura, the solicitor, communicative and I found Carla, the paralegal, helpful on the phone. My conveyancer would not elicit the same praise. I would be cautious in using this company.

So this company completed my work quickly no doubt on their efficiency. The customer service I recieved from my solicitor was poor. I completed all paperwork and sent it back immediately (the same day) per my solicitors request and then 3 days later I recieved an email basically telling me off for not sending back the forms so I took a screenshot of the email I had actually sent with the documents attached and all I got was "I haven't received it because there are too many attachments in the email and I need to send the attachments in a few emails" I got no apology nothing for their error, I was told to send paperwork via email but they failed to say they had a limit on how many attachments per email their server could cope with. Both me and my husband have a young family, full time jobs and work shifts so we weren't able to do all the jobs at the exact time the solicitor asked and we constantly got snotty emails back. Just not professional in my opinion and even when we asked a question it just seemed too much of an effort for her to answer and reply
