Excellent experience with a protracted property sale

After a couple of false starts we finally completed our property sale. Hardeep was patient throughout and assisted greatly in trying to get each transaction over the line. Communication was always excellent and Hardeep was very responsive whenever we (and the buyers) had questions. I am very happy to recommend Hardeep and his team at CWJ.

We have received great support form Omari and Zoe. It is good to feel that your solicitor is responsive and never the reason a transaction is held up and Omari is very good at this. Prompt responses and clear updates means that as clients we can relax and not have to chase things.

Residential Property/Conveyancing

Our house purchase was an extremely complex transaction involving a sale of one property and bridging loan across two others. With a acrimonious divorce somewhere in the chain. Chireen did an amazing job of handling this complexity. She kept track of all matters, never losing the trail at any point (effectively three properties all needing the equivalent of a sale in parallel). She had to deal with some very incompetent legal work from the solicitors acting for the bridging loan providers; always acting patiently and professionally. She gave us excellent advice on how to handle the staggered nature of the contract exchanges and completions. We were always re-assured by the fact that Chireen was in control of the situation.

Fantastic experience, and I will use CWJ going forward

I used CWJ as part of my marriage abroad process in Spain next year. I worked with Megan Robinson and the team. From my first interaction, they were utterly fantastic. They were fast, incredibly detailed....and just a fantastic overall experience. All of their work was perfect, detailed and spot on. I was really impressed with the service, and they took all my stress away.

A job well done!

Ms Karthiga Sangaralingam acted for me in a recent sale of my property. She has shown professionalism and efficiency from start to finish. The whole process was a smooth one because of the great efforts put in by her and her colleagues. I would strongly recommend her to anyone in the area who has similar work to be done. If I have any future work of the same nature I would definitely come back to her. Thank you Karthiga!

Andrew and his team are true professionals. Although there were a few issues with my paperwork, they focused on finding solutions and helping me through the process. At no point did I feel rushed or pressured into making decisions. Their professionalism, patience and customer-focused approach really stood out. I would definitely recommend their services.

We were extremely pleased with the service provided. Throughout our employment matter, the solicitors were patient, professional, and supportive. They never made us feel that we should have known the answers and took the time to explain everything clearly and in a way we could understand. They dealt with the issue promptly and efficiently, keeping us informed throughout the process. Their expertise and approachable manner made a difficult situation much easier to manage. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
