Excellent service

We can't recommend Wollens highly enough. From the outset, they were outstanding — responding quickly whenever our circumstances changed, and always offering clear, sound professional advice. What stood out most was how well they worked alongside our other advisors; everything felt joined up rather than siloed. The whole team was responsive and pitched in to cover for one another when needed, so there was never a gap in service. Highly recommended.

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.

Having never needed a solicitor before, I found the process of having to seek advice extremely intimidating. When arranging my appointment and seeing if I could receive any advice for my matter, Rosa was incredibly helpful not only in arranging an appointment in time for me, but also making sure I was aware of the process and got any needed documents sent across. When receiving my advice, Jon made the process extremely straightforward, but also acted as a great advocate, going above and beyond. Really grateful for them leading me through something that can be difficult in nature!

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.
