My wife and I were recommended JT Law Solicitors by Darren Lee of Watermans Estate Agents for conveyacing purposes and can say that the service we received was second to none. I have always been suspicious of the service that can be given, or not from large solicitors firms who seem to make it difficult to make contact with an individual so when I spoke with Julie Terrey and discovered that her company was in her own world as 'teeny' we were reassured that the service we would receve would be personal with good communication. We were not disappointed. Julie and her colleague Sarah Harris were clear in what they proposed to do and efficient in executing tasks. Communication was excellent at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

highly recommended

I recently worked with Kathy Miller at Watermans for the purchase of a property, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received. Throughout the entire process, Kathy was responsive, thorough, and always acted in my best interest. She offered thoughtful advice, clear communication, and honest assessments, all while respecting my budget and timing expectation. She provided a clear breakdown of fees from the beginning—there were no hidden charges or last-minute surprises. For the quality of service and attention to detail, the pricing felt entirely fair and reasonable. She communicated directly with the estate agent and seller’s solicitor to keep things moving. I always felt that my interests were protected and my questions, no matter how small, were taken seriously. Thanks to her expertise and care, the transaction went through smoothly and on time. I would highly recommend Kathy and Watermans to anyone looking for a reliable, approachable, and cost-conscious property solicitor.

My brother has terminal cancer and is in a hospice. His condition took a dramatic downturn over the weekend which resulted in him being unable to travel to Watermans office to sign the will. Watermans Amy Kennedy visited my brother in the hospice, outside of office hours, to ensure the will was signed and properly witnessed. She was brilliant throughout and the family can’t thank her and Watermans enough for their help during a very difficult time.

Just come off a call with Kimberley Mackay, who I must say was extremely knowledgeable. Stand out comments are she had great integrity and knowledge to make the conversation more comprehensive that I originally anticipated. Great initial interaction and instilled confidence.

My partner and I used Watermans to update our Wills and have had a prompt and friendly service from them both via email and face to face - with Shawn Wood, the solicitor who handled our work. We would certainly use them again for future legal work.

Although I was making a will under the November Will Aid scheme,which involves a donation to charity, rather than a solicitor's fee,I felt I received the same warm welcome and attention to detail you would expect from a business such as Watermans.Shawn dealt with my fairly straightforward needs in a friendly,business-like manner,confirming my particulars without being intrusive,offering advice when requested. In the uncertaintity of current times it was good to get all completed in seven days and full credit to solicitors for giving their time to Will Aid,much appreciated.

Aaron supported us with the legal conveyancing of both the sale of our flat and the purchase of our forever home. We really cannot fault the service we received from Aaron and would recommend him to anyone (indeed - we already have). He kept us well informed through the process; we never had to chase him. He also stayed late one evening to assist us with a potentially costly snag during the process, which he resolved speedily and smoothly. We would have no hesitation in working with Aaron again. He’s a brilliant solicitor. Thank you, Aaron for all your help these past few months.
