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.

Lasting Power of Attorney

I was on search for a document of mine to be signed and stamped. I spoke with Andrew just under a year ago about signing these documents. However I lost his number and some way somehow through another solicitor firm I managed to find Andrew again as the firm recommended me Andrew business card I recognised the number. We picked up from where we left off, his secretary booked me in with an appointment and everything went extremely smooth which I was pleased with.

I would highly recommend Alison for her outstanding support during my divorce proceedings. She handled my case in a highly professional and expert manner from start to finish, always making me feel that everything was under control and being managed effectively. Alison's communication was excellent throughout the process and she responded promptly to any queries and kept me informed with regular correspondence, which provided great reassurance during what could be a stressful time. Alison's knowledge, professionalism and supportive approach made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I would not hesitate to recommend Alison to anyone seeking a skilled an reliable solicitor.

I recently used this firm to handle my deed of separation, which began as a cohabitation agreement. From start to finish, I felt in very safe hands. Every query I had was answered clearly and thoroughly and I was always pointed in the right direction. The service was quick and efficient, the advice was sound, and, most importantly, I felt genuinely reassured throughout the whole process. The support I received made what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

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.
