A professional and supportive approach helped me to deal with a protracted employment issue. Realistic and clear advice was always forthcoming about how best to deal with each challenge along the way. All staff encountered were friendly and communication was very good too - never needed to chase anything.

I have used WGA on a couple of occasions previously. I had no hesitation in going back and, current experience proves I right to do so!
Brandon handled our case brilliantly. Good comms and efficient.
Bearing in mind charges made by solicitors, WGA’s were competitive.

I recently started to purchase a property through WGA and the property fell through at the very early stages and the fees for this was astronomical considering they only worked on my file for quote “1.5 hours”

As for selling my property the team worked really hard to get this done however their communication skills were not so great towards the end unfortunately but at least the sale went through I guess.

I am sorry I am not able to assist you -
I am afraid I am only available at present to provide a limited Notary service where the matter only involves a short, non-urgent appointment, due to my workload as a notary and solicitor.
Unfortunately I am the only Notary in King’s Lynn
