Simply fantastic from start to finish

"Simon Hodges was the epitome of professionalism from the moment we instructed him to sell our property. He dealt with everything swiftly and effectively, leaving us feeling reassured and in safe hands. Simon was totally unflappable and his calm, sensible approach was exactly what we needed."

Assistance on Tenancy agreement

We were advised by Katie Charlton who was excellent. Her legal advice was sound, as demonstrated by successful court proceedings, she was prompt in replying to requests and emails, she was personable and very professional. We would use her again without hesitation if we had future tenancy issues.

Residential Property Department

We have just concluded on both the sale of one property and the purchase of our new home. We wanted to leave some positive client feedback concerning one of your fee earners, Mary Young ; and also for the team behind her, within the Willans Residential Property Department. Buying and selling one’s home can be quite a stressful life event. Mary was reassuringly efficient in her control over both conveyances. We were really impressed with her pro-active file management, ensuring both matters progressed at the appropriate pace. She responded to all questions promptly and made sure all administrative tasks were completed in good time. She managed both of our buyers’ and sellers’ solicitors, the estate agents and of course, her client, with aplomb. Her conveyancing reports were precise, reasonable and measured, taking care to clearly explain all legal aspects to us. Her cost estimates were accurate, transparent and reasonable, such that there were no surprises for us at the end of the process. After exchange, Willans provided a dedicated completions service. This was managed smoothly by Emily James, such that all stages of this process were accurately communicated by Willans to all parties. Thank you Emily. Whilst it is of course lovely to settle into our new home, it is also important to formally say thank you, both to Willans LLP Solicitors and thanks, in particular, to Mary Young. She really is a credit to your Residential Property Team. We write this review so that Willans LLP might find this positive bit of client feedback useful, perhaps to use for her annual appraisal. As a general high street legal practice with the backup support of various specialist law departments within Willans, it is also good to know that Willans LLP are there to be able to foster and support us with a longer term client relationship. When one moves to a new area, it is reassuring to know that quality general high street legal practices still exist and it is the conveyancing department which often provides new clients with their first impression of the law firm. Thank you for your assistance Mary and also thank you to the whole of the Residential Property Team. We certainly have no hesitation in being able to recommend the services of Willans LLP. Kind Regards, Mr and Mrs O’Connell Herefordshire

After months of stress and anxiety, I finally decided to seek legal support from Willans; Tom took on my case from day one with professionalism and compassion and I certainly felt reassured and optimistic after our first meeting. Tom navigated me through a very difficult time, kept me up to date with developments, and responded quickly to emails, resulting in a positive outcome. I would highly recommend Tom from Willans; you will certainly be in safe hands.

We recently completed on our property purchase and cannot recommend Willans enough, particularly Mary Young and her team. She was incredibly professional, easy to contact (never had to chase), explained things clearly and the transaction could not have been smoother. The quote provided was clear and comprehensive. They are perhaps not the cheapest around however, the service is worth every penny. I have learnt my lesson having used online, faceless conveyancers in the past who may have been cheaper but have caused several headaches. We would not hesitate to recommend Willans to friends and family and will use them in the future if required. Thank you.

Our move from Cornwall to Wiltshire was tricky in more ways than one. Mary looked after us amazingly and got the job done very efficiently. Not only that we had not met her in person but felt we had a great friend As past estate agents having dealt with very many solicitors she is the best

Claire Cox has supported us for over two years. She has conducted herself thoroughly professionally throughout. Her knowledge and advice, combined with friendly, positive, proactive manner makes a stressful situation, manageable and restores hope. For this we are incredibly grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough.

My father has worked with Simon and Abi from The Wills, Trusts & Probate Department for a number of years and he would fully recommend their service. Where he is an executor of a will, they have obtained probate for him efficiently, promptly and for a fair fee which is quoted at commencement. He works regularly with Abi and she is always available to answer any questions. He has no hesitation in recommending Simon and Abi.
