Professional and Compassionate Approach

Wollens were extremely professional and considerate while administering my late mother’s estate, keeping me abreast of developments and regularly seeking my views in relation to key decisions that needed to be made. I felt supported throughout the process and really appreciated having my views taken into account. My solicitor was a pleasure to deal with and I really valued her open and honest approach, alongside her compassion and sensitivity.

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.

Above and beyond

We would highly recommend Wollens, and especially Nadia, to anyone looking for a solicitor. Nadia was recommended to us by a friend when we were planning our move from London to Devon, and from our very first phone call, she made a lasting impression. She has been fantastic throughout the whole process, going above and beyond with her support, guidance and communication. Her patience and understanding have been invaluable, particularly during the more stressful moments. She has been a reassuring voice of reason when we needed it most, and her professionalism and genuine care have made such a difference to us. Thank you so much, Nadia, for everything you have done. We honestly don’t know how we would have got through this process without you, and we will never forget the support you have given us. We are truly grateful and anyone fortunate enough to have you supporting them will be in the very best hands.

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.
