Sophie Jones made the process of selling our home easy to follow and stress free. Sophie was always responsive, professional and a brilliant problem solver. Sophie was always available to discuss or update; her communication was consistently clear and helpful.

We would absolutely recommend Sophie Jones and William Sturges LLP.

Fantastic Service

Sophie Jones dealt with the purchase of our property and we could not have been happier. In comparison to previous experiences with solicitors who have taken a long time to reply or haven't been helpful this was a breath of fresh air. Sophie was constantly readily available and her colleagues were super helpful in her absence. Could not recommend highly enough!

Collected on:

experience has been deeply concerning and professionally disappointing

I engaged William Sturges LLP for property conveyancing matters involving multiple units. My experience has been deeply concerning and professionally disappointing.

The firm has held £5,000 of my funds as stakeholder for over 720 days, despite contractual terms requiring release after a 10-day response period. The other party has not responded for over seven months, yet William Sturges continues to retain these funds without valid explanation.

Communication has been extremely poor throughout. Emails frequently go unanswered, telephone calls are not returned, and promised responses repeatedly fail to materialise. When I formally requested confirmation that my funds remained properly held in their client account, it took multiple requests over several months to receive any documentation. The ledger eventually provided raised significant concerns about how my funds had been handled.

In my experience, deadlines were consistently missed, incorrect notices were served, and I received conflicting advice on important matters. This caused substantial delays to property completions, resulting in additional costs and considerable stress to my business operations.

I have been forced to engage their professional indemnity insurers and make formal regulatory complaints due to their handling of my matters. After exhausting all reasonable attempts at resolution over nearly two years, I cannot recommend this firm based on my personal experience.

Anyone considering instructing this firm should carefully consider my experience and perhaps seek additional references before proceeding.

Comprehensive Probate and Conveyancing

After the passing of relatives, we required Probate and Conveyancing services for the estate.
There were some lease complications and these were resolved in a practical manner and when we had a few options, these were explained clearly and with a likely timescale and process for each.
Once Probate was granted this was managed efficiently and all aspects such as inheritance tax considerations managed well.
The subsequent conveyancing was clear, simple and efficient and worked as set out.
Although a good solicitor is not cheap, the time saved and the simplification of the process means that there is value provided for the service.

A representative from William Sturges LLP responded to this review on 27 May, 2025:

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful feedback. We're glad to hear that the lease complications were resolved clearly and practically, and that the probate and conveyancing processes were managed efficiently. We appreciate your recognition of the value that professional support brings, especially during such important and complex matters. Your trust means a lot to us.

Property advice

I have enjoyed over twenty years of first class property advice from William Sturges.
As a chartered surveyor, dealing with hundreds of property lawyers, I have seen a wide range of service.
Jeremy Spooner of William Sturges is my "go to" property lawyer, and I have recommended him to a large number of clients.
His combination of a thorough knowledge of commercial property law, and his commercial approach to ensure that the transaction happens as swiftly as possible, is hard to beat.
Jeremy, alongside his colleague Joanne Smith, will continue to be my choice as my preferred commercial property lawyers, and I will continue to recommend them to clients seeking a knowledgeable, hard working, and efficient property lawyer.

We worked with Graeme to utilise the Resolution together option for our divorce. We are grateful for his for help to navigate a very difficult process and then support and educate us through the steps in which, somehow, we came out closer and happier. It takes great skill to accomplish this and Graeme did amazing. Highly recommend!

A representative from William Sturges LLP responded to this review on 30 June, 2025:

Dear Erika, Thank you for your heartfelt feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that Graeme’s support, guidance, and expertise helped you both navigate such a challenging process with care and clarity. It’s especially encouraging to know that you came out of it stronger and more connected. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. Best regards, William Sturges

Marc Dewing acted as my solicitor during the sale of my property, and I was thoroughly impressed with the service from start to finish. He was extremely knowledgeable which gave me great confidence throughout the process. What stood out most was his efficiency. Everything was handled promptly and professionally, with no delays or unnecessary stress.

Communication was flawless. Marc kept me informed at every stage, responded quickly to any questions, and always explained things clearly and patiently. He was also incredibly attentive and approachable, which made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well managed.

I'm very grateful for the support and expertise Marc provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and highly competent solicitor for their property matters.

A representative from William Sturges LLP responded to this review on 21 May, 2025:

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Olivia. We’re delighted to hear Marc’s knowledge, efficiency, and clear communication made your property sale smooth and stress-free. Your recommendation means a lot!

David Cross acted for me on a sale and purchase and was outstanding. We had a number of complex issues which he handled in a calm, professional, thorough and pragmatic manner. This was our fourth property and having used other solicitors previously I can categorically say David is the best by far. I cannot recommend David highly enough.

A representative from William Sturges LLP responded to this review on 07 April, 2025:

Hi Caroline. Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We're thrilled to hear that David was able to guide you through a complex process with such professionalism and care. It's especially meaningful to know that, having worked with other solicitors in the past, you found David to stand out so highly. Your recommendation means a great deal to him and the whole team — we're truly grateful!

David Cross was fantastic in his support of our house sale, and purchase. He has a deep knowledge and experience of the technical area, and he used this to build a fabulous and empathetic working relationship with us, and guided us through the (in our case) complex process. David is prompt and efficient, and left none of our many questions unanswered. He is a terrific lawyer and operator, and we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to others. When the time comes, we will certainly be seeking his services again.

A representative from William Sturges LLP responded to this review on 11 March, 2025:

Thank you for your kind words, Mike. We're thrilled to hear that David was able to guide you through the process and provide such exceptional service. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you again in the future.
