Equity Release

Initially my experience with Wolferstans was a bit hit and miss. My initial solicitor went sick I believe and my emails were going unanswered, even though I cc'd another person. Eventually my case as given to Connor Barclay and he was very quick to familiarise himself with my case and it eventually went through very smoothly.

House sale, excellent service.

We have used Wolferstans for over 40 years! Always John Chapman till he retired. Last few transactions have been with Claire & Ebenezar who continue to provide great service.
Times and processes have changed but we have never had any issues with sales or purchases. The new app is good but having a voice on the end of a phone remains reassuring.
Strongly recommend Wolferstans.

Danielle Penrose and her team at Plymouth Wolferstans

I cannot speak highly enough of Danielle and her team. Her professionalism and expertise have meant that the enormously difficult period of dealing with my mother’s will and probate have been minimised. I always felt I could ask Danielle any question at all and always received a reply promptly . Danielle’s team helped me deal with a house that turned out to be uninsured without any fuss at all. Absolutely first class service.

Excellent representation, again.

This is our second time using Wolfenstans for a family law case, and once again, they went above and beyond what we expected, delivering the results we were looking for. Extremely happy with their professional service, and I will most definitely use them for any future legal matters.

Gifting a property to my son.

I was very impressed with the way the whole business was conducted from start to finish. Everything was explained to me in detail and easy to understand and follow. My solicitor Beth Woodhead was very professional in her duties and was able to explain and communicate with me with great ease. I highly recommend Wolferstans of Plymouth and in particular my solicitor Beth Woodhead and her team. I am very grateful for all her work.

Helping me get my inheritance after 9 years

I would just like to say how wonderful and amazing Julian Burrows has been in finally helping me get my share of my inheritance. My late mum died on the 19th March 2016. Me and my sister were both named as executors and beneficiaries of her will. After trying to negotiate and appeal to my sister to discuss executing the Will and a timescale in 2022, I reluctantly had no choice but to engage Wolferstans Solicitors to mediate for me. Despite my sister being very very difficult to communicate with, I was finally able to get an Order for Sale last October (2024). I was finally able to get my sister to buy out my share of house on 31/3/2025 (9 years after my mum's death). Despite my sister causing me an enormous amount of emotional pain and distress as well as financial burden too, Julian has been immensely professional, patient, supportive and understanding during this very difficult process which at times has been an emotional rollercoaster. I'm so glad I made the decision to seek Julian Burrow's help at Wolferstans. An amazing man and an absolutely awesome solicitor too. Special thanks must also go to others that have assisted over the last few years such as Charles and Jonathan as well Pippa (conveyancing solicitor) who was also amazing. Thanks so so much Julian and Wolferstans in assisting me to finally resolve a very very difficult situation with a very difficult family member. I would definitely recommend Julian and Wolferstans Solicitors.

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.
