Successful conveyancing in North Devon

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.

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.
