    A relative passed away suddenly (intestate). After a telephone call with friendly and helpful staff at Ward Gethin Archer, I instructed them to act. I felt assured that they would be professional, polite and understanding, which they were. Would definitely recommend the firm.

      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.

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!

      Recent house move for my mum

      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!!!!

      The service from Shona was excellent, the time frame from September 25 to June 26 was far from perfect BUT I believe this was not down to Shona or the Trust department. This was down to another department within WDA . Excellent work Shona once everything was in place for you to proceed!

      Jackie is very experienced and knowledgeable. I had complete faith and trust that her advice and guidance were always in my best interests. There were several major bumps throughout the buying process from missing building regulations through to a burst pipe in the property, which caused significant delays. If it could go wrong, it did go wrong, but she was supportive and showed kindness and empathy throughout. Buying a new home is stressful and nail biting, but I really couldn’t have done it without her help, knowledge, expertise and support. I am so grateful and I can’t recommend her enough. It seems strange not picking up the phone to her on a daily basis to discuss the latest catastrophe.
