Sue Taylor and her conveyancing team dealt with the sale of our family home and I cannot fault WSP since they acted professionally and efficiently throughout the sale process. Despite losing two buyers early on, WSP were able to complete the sale within our timescales. WSP are certainly worthy of the The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme mark of accreditation. Thank you!

House sale

My house sale went through smoothly and my experience with WSP was delightful.
I think there could have been slightly more communication at times as I had to ask for updates (but that is a normal complaint with house sales I am told) but I always got a response straightaway and thank Jessica for that.
I would recommend WSP in the future.

Injury claim

Demelza Pallant and all her team who have worked hard absolutely deserve this outstanding review. I was unfortunately ran over by a reckless driver and was left with life changing injures to my right leg. Through out my claim this team have been absolutely Brilliant, caring to all my needs and reassuring to any of my questions I asked. Such a quick, outstanding service from the beginning till the end. Always provided updates when there was any. Lovely, friendly caring service/team! So so glad I went with WSP solicitors, would highly highly recommend.

2 weeks after informing WSP of a death and they still haven't released the original Will to the Solicitor dealing with probate. The reason given is that they're running with a skeleton staff due to Covid. Repeatedly spent ages on hold trying to speak to someone, staff not easily contactable as working from home and if you leave a message they're slow to return calls. Would not recommend.

A representative from WSP Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 14 December, 2021:

Thank you for your review Sally. We are sorry to hear about your recent experience. I do understand that your concerns have now been addressed and were due to an administrative delay, which has now been resolved. If you would like to discuss this further please contact marketing@wspsolicitors.com

About this branch

Description

WSP Solicitors was established following the merger of three local firms that had been providing legal advice in Gloucestershire for more than two centuries: Winterbothams, A E Smith & Son and Penleys. Indeed, Penleys LLP was one of the oldest legal firms in the South West, having been established in Dursley by John Vizard in 1758. Family member William Vizard even acted for Queen Caroline when George IV tried to divorce her. Our heritage is important to us; one of our present solicitors is the great-grandson of Reginald Herbert Penley who retired from the firm in 1905. We still operate in the Cotswold towns of Stroud and Dursley. We also have a city office in the centre of Gloucester to allow us to support even more people across the county. Today, we pride ourselves on using our uncomplicated approach to help people from all walks of life with their personal and business legal affairs. Our ethos of making life less complicated applies to everything we do – including our fees. We’ll always be honest and upfront about our legal costs and give you a fixed estimate before we act on your behalf. We’ll provide regular fee updates and never incur additional charges without your authority. And if your transaction goes particularly smoothly (and less time is spent on it than we initially envisaged) we’ll even lower your bill. What could be simpler than that?
