Overcharges, manipulation and dishonesty

I hope you are reading my review before it’s too late. Do not pay this firm any penny because they are all nice to you before payment but once they’ve got your money you will have to do all the chasing and this happened to me over the course of two months. Please be careful

They will slam you with HIGH hidden charges. Guaranteed

This firm is a bunch of liars. They quoted us £225+vat an hour and spent a few hours here and there then slammed us with a £10'500 charge and when we argued it then they us court.
We also tried consulting them on a case to which their advisor who did not have a clue and could not help and yet we got a bill after of around £1500
Judging their other negative reviews I wouldn't take any risk in using them

Buying our first home

Glad we went with Wake Smith for this - Tom explained everything clearly to us and guided us throughout the processes, highlighting every step we needed to take and ensuring we had everything in place for the purchase. It has made everything so much easier, and as stress free as could be, knowing Tom was working with our best interests at heart. My partner and I would strongly recommend for a friendly, knowledgeable service.

Sale and purchase of properties

We used Jess at Wake Smith for the sale and purchase of our property. We found Jess to be very proactive, helpful, communicative, informative and very very professional. Her professionalism and approach was outstanding.
The process with Jess was extremely straightforward and she kept us in touch every single step of the way on both our sale and purchase.
We would not hesitate in recommending Jess at Wake Smith Solicitors.
