Another successful move

Not the quickest move compared to some that we have done with Wolferstans, but delays were not in their control. They kept us in formed at all times. All credit to both Pauline Anning and Barry Boulton for steering us through this and encouraging us when we thought it would never happen

Legal services for buying and selling of property

Received a truly first class service from Carol Foster and Lisa Chapman for the conveyancing provided recently for us. Carol, with her approachable manner, kept us in the loop at all times with the development of the sale and purchase, and her attention to detail was second to none, sorting any problem out swiftly. I would highly recommend Carol and Lisa at Wolferstans to anyone for their conveyancing needs

Exceptional Service

We chose Wolferstans to deal with our house sale and purchase.
The sale and purchase was quite complex with the sale enquiries and the purchase going through Probate.
Pauline assisted by Barry dealt with the whole process and made it all go in a very smooth manner.
Any enquiries by ourselves was dealt with on the same day,making it a stress free process.
We would highly recommend Wolferstans if you want a stress free House sale/Purchase solicitor.
Many thanks to Pauline & Barry for dealing with our sale & purchase.

Rebecca is very friendly and professional in her job. She takes time also to have a chat, outside of the main reason why we were meeting her. Very knowledgeable and not rushed.

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.
