I am so pleased with the services provided by CWJ, firstly in helping me with the probate of my mothers estate, and then with the conveyance service when the time came to sell the property.

The main channel of communication has been through email, my choice, and responses have been received within a couple of hours.

I heard about CWJ through my local rugby club who they have supported, through sponsorship, for many years now. This is important to me, and I like to use local companies that invest and are committed to the local community.

In summary, a very professional and knowledgeable law firm with a big friendly heart.

Hardeep, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your work on my sale and purchase.

This has not been a straightforward of transaction, given the timescales we were working towards, managing to exchange both deals within 7 weeks.

Your measured guidance and proactive communicative approach has enabled the transaction to succeed. I will ensure that I continue to recommend your services to friends of mine.

Thank you

Will writing service was sadly lacking. Whole process took over 6 weeks. Communications were poor and difficult at times. There were also several errors in drafting that had to be rectified.
