Great service

I’ve dealt with a number of solicitors over the years and found Pauline to be one the most proactive and diligent that I’ve used for conveyancing purposes. Honest and clear throughout the process and committed to working in the best interests of her client. I would recommended and use again in future.

Preparation of LPA's

The process was clearly explained at the beginning. Thereafter we were guided helpfully where we required explanation/advice resulting in suitable LPA's being provided and approved by the OPG.

Wolferstan's Solicitor Will Advice

Creating a will with my wife was quite a daunting thought as we have a very blended family, and we wanted to be true to each other and fair to each beneficiary. We met for a video chat with a graduate legal executive called Bethany Photiou, who immediately put us at ease and guided us through the minefield of will writing. I was very impressed with our advisor, who answered every question immediately and did not defer while she looked it up. She was very knowledgeable at every stage of the process, which also reassured my wife and I. All other documents were posted out to us securely in a very speedy time. We are happy that we decided to stay with a very professional group of people and I would highly recommend this firm to all my family and friends.

Not having much experience of dealing with solicitors, I found them very helpful and friendly to deal with. They kept me informed regularly which I appreciated, quite often by email but also by telephone which I like personally.

We used Wolferstans in a property purchase that fell through in the end owing to issues purely on the seller’s side. Carol was absolutely amazing and did everything she could to find a way through the situation and regularly kept us updated.

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carol or the group!

Thanks!

I have recently moved ourselves and my parents to new houses. The move was to ensure that my parents who are elderly were closer to us.
The timing of the transactions was important to us in order for us to maximise the support that we could give to my parents during the move. Pauline and her team understood the requirements and gave us fabulous support though out the process. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Pauline to anyone.
