Outstanding service from start to finish

We had the pleasure of dealing with David Eastman & Asia Gurung when purchasing our new build property. We could not fault them at all. Everything was dealt with quickly, with precision and communication was excellent. I have no doubt that, without them and their efficiency, the purchase would have taken far longer than it did to complete. I would not hesitate in recommending Wollens and I wouldn't consider using another firm.

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.

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.

“Exceptional Support Through a Difficult Time”

I cannot recommend Rebecca Proctor highly enough for the way she handled the financial matters relating to my divorce. From the outset, Rebecca took the time to explain the process to me clearly, what to expect and the potential outcomes. This gave me a real understanding of where I stood and what could happen, which was incredibly reassuring during such an uncertain time. It was an incredibly difficult period for me, particularly as I was also dealing with the loss of my brother, and there were times when I simply needed someone I could trust to take care of things for me. Rebecca gave me that reassurance. Throughout the process, I felt supported, listened to and in very safe hands. I never knew whether the financial matters would become more complicated or escalate, so I really valued Rebecca’s straightforward, strong and professional approach. She gave me clear advice and supported me in making decisions, while always making sure I understood what was happening. Rebecca was also incredibly sympathetic to my personal circumstances and understood that this was about much more than just the finances. She kept me updated throughout the process and dealt with matters efficiently, allowing me to step back and know that everything was being handled. Jess, who is part of Rebecca’s team, was also fantastic and I’m very grateful for the support she provided. I am genuinely so grateful to Rebecca and Jess for everything they did for me during what was an extremely difficult period of my life. Having someone knowledgeable, strong, straightforward and compassionate handling the financial side of my divorce made such a difference. I would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone going through a divorce and needing someone they can genuinely trust to handle their financial matters professionally, efficiently and with understanding.

Writing a Will

As I've stated far too expensive. I thought after being a regular client and less people in my will it would have been lower in price. I carried on with it because I just wanted my will out the way for personal reasons, so I did and do feel let down by Wollens.

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!
