Outstanding service from start to finish

We had the pleasure of dealing with David Eastman & Asia Gurung when purchasing our new build property. We could not fault them at all. Everything was dealt with quickly, with precision and communication was excellent. I have no doubt that, without them and their efficiency, the purchase would have taken far longer than it did to complete. I would not hesitate in recommending Wollens and I wouldn't consider using another firm.

Mark Iddles and the team at Wollens Solicitors in Torquay have twice provided me with truly first‑class service. Most recently, the sale of my late mother’s property was handled with great care, sensitivity, and complete professionalism. I always felt that my conveyancing and land registration matters were safe and secure in their hands. The team were consistently understanding, approachable, and 100% helpful — even something as simple as knowing they would pick up the phone brought real reassurance. I am very grateful for their support and would wholeheartedly recommend Wollens Solicitors.

George Yabsley was incredibly helpful with our tenancy-related issues. He was always kind, approachable and made me feel like I was never a burden when I called. What I appreciated most was that I never had to fight to speak to him or feel like I was being avoided. He was easy to get hold of, listened to our concerns and made the whole situation feel much less stressful. I’m really grateful for all of his help and would highly recommend him.

Chloe was absolutely fantastic throughout the process. She was incredibly efficient, prompt and pragmatic in her responses, really clear and made the whole experience so smooth and reassuring for my family. Nothing was too much trouble, every query was met with courtesy and understanding. I just got the sense that everything was under control, and that it was standard practice to be so on the ball, and that they really cared about completing the task. Everything she and her team said they would do, they did - even when Chloe was out of office she still responded to emails, and her colleague Emma picked up her work. Thank you so much for making this all so easy for my family, cannot recommend enough!

I would highly recommend Abigail Roode at Woollens Solicitors. She represented me during a very difficult time involving matters concerning my son, and I’m extremely grateful for all the support, advice and guidance she gave me throughout the process. Abigail was professional, understanding and approachable during what was a very stressful and emotional period for me. She took my situation seriously and helped me navigate a difficult time when having the right person in your corner really matters. I truly appreciate the work she put into my case and the support she provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abigail and Woollens Solicitors to anyone who needs help with family law matters. Thank you for everything, Abigail.
