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.

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.

Quick and Professional Notarisation Service

Andrew was very helpful in providing the notarisation services. The process was quick, professional and efficient, and the fee charged was competitive. Overall, we were very satisfied with the service. One small suggestion would be for the reception team to be a little more helpful with follow-up calls by taking the customer’s contact details and message, rather than repeatedly asking them to call back when the relevant person is unavailable.

Excellent service and communication from Megan Robinson, who was very kind and professional and went above and beyond to make sure my request to have a document notarised by Andrew, went smoothly. I was made to feel like nothing was too much trouble, very pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. And hey- they actually have parking for their clients😁, very rare in London!

After having a complete nightmare with another notary for a power of attorney. The document still had not arrived back after 4 weeks. We decided to cut our losses and go elsewhere. CWJ booked us in the next day and the documents arrived back 3 days later. First class, professional service. We nearly lost our property in spain we were purchasing, but CWJ saved the day. Would definitely use them again.

Thank you Jason for taking the time to write about your experience. We appreciate your comments.

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!
