A competitive quotation was received from WGA and accepted, the conveyancing was progressed in a timely manner. After the first purchasers could not complete the purchase a second buyer was found and the information initially sent was then used for this sale. I was concerned that the purchasers of my property were using an on line solicitor but this did not prove to be an issue. Completion was then archived in a timely manner.

Charlotte has been extremely supportive during the process of selling my home of many years and purchasing my new dwelling. She has “held my hand”, expertly leading me through my fears and lack of knowledge with positivity and reassurance. If ever I decided to undertake another similar journey, which I doubt, I would want Charlotte by my side.

Thank you Frances for your heartfelt review. We are so pleased to hear that Charlotte’s expert guidance and reassurance helped ease the stress of moving after many years. Moving home is a significant life event, and providing that "hand-holding" support and positivity is exactly what we strive for at our firm. I will be sure to share your kind words with Charlotte—she will be delighted to know she made such a difference. We wish you the very best in your new home!

Thank you Liz for your review. We’re pleased Ella was able to support you through your divorce with care and encouragement during a difficult time. Your feedback about both Ella and Sharon is greatly appreciated.
Moving Mum from her home of nearly 50 years to a smaller property was scary and daunting for all of us - Mum, her husband, and us, her three children, but without a doubt Charlie has made this whole experience feel less daunting, we knew we were in safe hands right from the very start of our journey. She answered all our questions, always really quickly, and in a way that we could understand. Paperwork requirements were always clear, and underlying all of this, all the legal necessary side of things (which were absolutely faultless) was a warm friendliness, a caring approach, and for that we are so grateful. We cannot recommend highly enough, Charlie you were fantastic, and in a weird way we will miss your emails!!!!

This case involved three components: Property Lease; Variation of a Limited Liability Partnership Agreement; Preparation of a new Will. Solicitors were Simin Hough, Laura Leventhall and Laura Ruffell. The process was started in September 2025 and I had expected it to complete by 31/12/25. The case turned out to be more complex than anticipated, in part due to tardiness on the part of the new tenant's solicitors, the need to vary the LLP Agreement prior to grant of the lease, the need to terminate existing Grazing Licence Rights on the land (dealt with by myself) and the required consent of a prior landowner due to an overage agreement. The WGA team did a good job on dealing with all aspect being completed in early June 2026. Simin, Laura and Laura did a good job and my only concern was that responses to my emails along the way were often slow, in part because each individual is, I believe, part-time employed with no cover to pick up at least acknowledgement of receipt responses. In contrast, I have worked with your Ely residential property team (Jackie Murfitt) on two transactions in 2025 and was impressed by the speed of acknowledgement responses to my emails, and action updates. So I would flag that communication speediness, even if no progress has been made on the case, would improve an otherwise good service level.

Thank you to Jackie for all of her hard work and dedication to our case, we wouldn’t be living in our lovely new home without her efforts! The entire process was extremely stressful due to other factors outside of our control, and Jackie was kind, empathetic and helpful in keeping us updated and in the know throughout. We are extremely grateful.
