Sale of property

The recent sale of my property went very smoothly. Karthiga Sangaralingham handled things in a very professional manner and I would have no hesitation in using the services of Karthiga and CWJ Ltd. in future.

A huge thank you

A huge thank you to Carly and Heidi and their team for all the help and guidance over the last few months in the sale of our late Mother’s property. They were friendly, professional and incredibly prompt. We had numerous questions all of which were answered clearly and immediately. The support they provided made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend CWJ.

Residential Property/Conveyancing

Buying a one-bedroom retirement flat was my first property purchase since my wife and I bought a new house 62 years ago, so I was quite unaware of current requirements and procedures. Chireen took me through the process painstakingly and with clear and expert guidance. She has thorough knowledge of the legal steps to be followed, and dealt persistently but patiently with the seller's solicitor, especially as it became apparent that the latter did not always understand the issues, and lacked the supervision they clearly needed.

We had a great experience working with the team at CWJ, particularly Karthiga Sangaralingam, throughout our property transaction. From start to finish, the communication was clear, prompt, and professional. Karthiga guided us through every step of the process with patience and attention to detail, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We truly appreciated her responsiveness and dedication, and we felt well-supported at every stage. We would happily recommend CWJ to anyone looking for reliable and efficient legal support in a property matter.

Clarkson Wright and Jakes represented me last year for the sale of my property in Kent and I was so impressed with them that I requested their services again when I was ready to purchase my new home in Shropshire more recently. Leah Noyes and her support team were professional and thorough throughout the whole conveyancing process.  They were quick to respond to my queries and they made sure that every detail was covered before advising exchange and completion on my purchase. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm. They were five star in their service.

CWJ dealt with the sale of my late mother’s house. Cost was accurate and I was kept informed every step of the way as to what stage we were at. Chireen Miller did the conveyancing and I would definitely use her again if I needed to. Sarah Cheeseman from the legal team was also very helpful.

Quick and Efficient ID1 Verification

We used this solicitor to complete and countersign our ID1 forms for the Land Registry and were very happy with the service. The appointment was straightforward, everything was explained clearly, and the solicitor was friendly and easy to deal with. The forms were completed quickly and the whole process felt smooth and well organised. Overall, a very positive experience and I’d happily recommend them.

In seeking professional legal advice regarding complicated issues, it was important to me to have such complications clearly explained in a manner which I could grasp and therefore be able to make an informed decision. Grace Clarke was able to do this which gave me confidence in her abilities.

Although CWJ has a good reputation when I made minor changes to my Will it has not been straightforward.It took longer than I thought ( due to staff holiday) and was charged upfront a fee without explanation that I should not have paid.Was successfully sorted out at the end.
