    Unfortunately, my experience with this firm was disappointing. Whilst the trainee solicitor assigned to our case was helpful and responsive, there appeared to be significant delays when matters required sign-off from the main solicitor. Communication throughout the process was poor, with a lack of coordination between members of the team, which resulted in unnecessary delays and frustration. There were multiple occasions where communication was difficult, to the point that even our estate agents struggled to get hold of the firm. The conveyancing process became far more long-winded and stressful than it needed to be. Since completing on our property, I have also received several communications in error from the firm (4 as of date), including being mistakenly added to a WhatsApp group unrelated to my matter and receiving emails regarding an active purchase despite having completed 9 months ago. Given the importance of confidentiality and attention to detail in conveyancing matters, I found these repeated errors concerning and unprofessional. I have had no explanation to why this keeps happening and the only response I have had is “ I assure you it will not repeat itself no more.” I have also been contacted since moving in to my home stating that they needed me to resend all my documents for proof of deposit and statements due to them losing them. While some members of the team were helpful, overall I was left disappointed by the level of communication and the repeated administrative mistakes. I would not recommend or use in the future due to this.

    Great service from Steven Park, who carried out the conveyancing for our house sale. He guided us through the whole process, giving us great support along the way, especially during difficulties from the other side. Google won't let us give 6 stars. Definitely recommend him for your next house sale.

      we had meetings with Julie who took us seamlessly through our making of new wills and then new Power of Attorney which we found that the previous company had not provided us with properly. her advice was excellent and she was very patient with us. really professional, yet easy to understand the importance of there being certain things in place.

      We chose W&P to deal with our probate. Julie was professional but also down to earth. She explained the whole process very well. We expected the probate to take about 14 weeks but was through within 4. Thank you for you help and support throughout you made it all easy and stress free for us. Would recommend.
