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.

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!
