Successful conveyancing in North Devon

Asia Gurung at Wollens in Barnstaple was efficient, helpful, professional and good humoured throughout our sales and completion process. This helped all parties achieve a quick and effective outcome, and we are happy to recommend Asia and Wollens as a result.

Commercial lease renewal

Emma has been most supportive with the renewal of our commercial lease spanning the next 2 decades with our landlords entering 100 years of a joint partnership. It was really important to secure terms that would enable us to continue to invest and prosper as a family business which Emma fully understood and ensured was the main driver. This is the first time we have worked together and I would not hesitate to use or recommend her services to others. Thank you.

Dave Eastman proved to be an excellent solicitor for buying and selling in the rather bumpy current housing market. Liz Eastman is the best communicator and support anyone could possibly have during such a stressful time. Thank you Wollens.

1st class conveyancing

After a lengthy time trying to buy a home in North Devon and 3 properties falling through, I decided to use Nadia at Wollens as I was impressed with her work when she was conveyancing for someone else on another property that I had been trying to buy. Management companies that oversee buildings and estates are becoming more commonplace nowadays and at times they don't make things easy, but Nadia worked hard to make sure things worked. Nadia is highly recommended.

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!

Emma Reed has been fantastic in supporting our company that has been in business for 100 years to secure our future in the renewal of a 20 year lease. It was important to not only secure the lease but demonstrate our commitment to the property which Emma pitched exactly correct ensuring both parties came out with the best deal and partnership possible. This is the first time I have used her services and would not hesitate to use the again.

Sarah Rowles has been absolutely amazing throughout our house purchase, and I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. We were kept informed at every step of the way, and any emails or queries we had were always responded to promptly. Sarah was incredibly efficient, professional and understanding throughout the whole process, and she was always happy to answer any questions we had. We are so grateful for all her help and support in making our first house purchase as smooth and stress-free as possible. Thank you Sarah for such an excellent service!

Preparation of our wills and LPAs was initially daunting. However, Charlotte McGregor, Partner at Wollens in Exeter, made the entire process incredibly straightforward from start to finish. Her professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, and attention to detail have been exceptional, and she ensured everything was completed promptly and with minimal fuss. We couldn’t have asked for a better service and would have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte and the team at Wollens.

I and my father before me have used Wollens for many years and I continue to use their services because I know from past experience that I could not find a better firm. More recently Wollens have acted for me to sell the family business. A very long haul which was made bearable by Hebe who has been amazing to work with, very patient with me and a superb solicitor. Thank you Hebe, thank you Wollens.

Megan made buying our first home as seamless and stress-free as possible! She worked tirelessly to ensure that the process moved along quickly and constantly kept us updated throughout with clear communication. We highly recommend anyone looking to move house to get in touch with Megan and Wollens. Our offer being accepted through to getting our keys took less than 2 months, which was all down to the hard work put in by our lovely solicitor.
