Moving house

Helen and Ebenezer were really helpful, supportive and approachable making a stressful time bearable. They explained the process whenever I called and after an aborted first purchase ensured my second went smoothly and quickly making sure I was in my new home before Christmas.

Advice & Settlement Agreement

I needed help and advice on an employment matter, and had spoken to a few different lawyers and solicitors. I was in the process of things progressing but I wanted someone more local to me incase things progressed in a different direction, and that had clear and understandable pricing so I knew how to proceed without the fear of unexpected financial burdens. My initial contact was with Mara, she was quick to respond, with clear, direct and helpful advice. Their pricing structure put me at ease because I knew exactly where I would stand and what I would have to pay, and what my Employer would pay.
I then dealt with Victoria, who again was quick and clear with finalising it all.
They made an unpleasant and stressful situation much easier to deal with. I would highly recommend.

Conveyancing in case of sale through divorce

Claire Booth was excellent! She went above and beyond to ensure the communication was clear and prompt and to both myself and my ex-husband. We had a tussle at the end to get the sale over the line and Claire pushed hard to make sure it all happened. I would highly recommend.

Got a difficult exchange done, but communication was limited

We have successfully completed a purchase of our house through Wolferstans. It was helped when our solicitor left the firm and as another had to take over the load at short notice. There were complicating issues over the deeds that caused mortgage issues as well. While it all got done as and successfully exchanged, we found the level of communication on progress or problems was limited and got most of that information from our Estate Agent and our Mortgage Broker.

Very satisfied

Sarah Duncan and Sam Davies were exceptional. Communication was great, they responded to my messages the same day. Likewise if I phoned they either immediately answered or returned my call the same day. I felt I was in very safe and competent hands. The conveyancing process went so well, we closed in 8 weeks!
Completely satisfied with Wolferstans and no hesitation using them again.

I highly recommend this firm. Very professional, friendly and communicated extremely well, using no 'legalise'. Linda Woollams helped me through the entire process and she is so good at her job it's obvious she has more knowledge than most other solicitors appear to know.
