Joint tenancy, now in its second year.

We assume this is a record for the incompetence of the Land Registry.

Shared Ownership Purchase

I used WSP solicitors to purchase my shared ownership property in Brockworth, Gloucester. My solicitor and all the team working on my case were always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend WSP and won't hesitate to use them in the future.

Mixed experience

Two strands to the assignment. One entirely satisfactory, the other bedevilled by delay and lack of communication. Temporary staff seem more on top of things and customer-focused than some of the permanent team.

We experienced a first class Conveyancing service from WSP during our move. Communication was swift and efficient and always ahead of the game. We will definitely use WSP again when the time comes.

I have used WSP Solicitors for many years. I always return to them due to the excellence in their work. In the recent years I have worked with Sue Taylor and Sam Warner, and I could not recommend them more highly. I am always able to reach them, and their efficiency and speed has made my property sale / buy way less stressful! I know I’m being looked after and trust fully in their guidance. Thank you!

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?
