    Outstanding service! Thank you Alex! ⭐️

    I had a fantastic experience with Wadsworth Solicitors, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Alex was absolutely amazing throughout! always responsive, proactive and clearly on top of everything at every stage of the process. This was my third attempt at selling my house, so it wasn’t the most straightforward journey, but Alex made the whole process feel smooth and manageable. Her advice was consistently clear, practical and reassuring, which really helped reduce the stress. It was obvious she genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome and her professionalism really stood out from start to finish. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is reliable, knowledgeable and easy to work with, Alex at Wadsworth Solicitors is an excellent choice.

    Alex at Wadsworths is very friendly, easy to talk to and professionl. She dealt with our matter as quickly as 3rd parties allowed and kept us informed throughout the process. I felt reassured and confident with her and could always ring her if i felt the need or email and get a quick response. I also found other staff that I came into contact with very pleasant and helpful. Thank you

    We got sensible and measured advice in establishing a Will to suit our specific family requirements. With the age variances and wider family relationships, Michael Wadsworth communicated the various Will options and legal position in clear manner that allowed myself and my wife to make informed decisions on our wishes and instructions contained within our Wills.

    I had an outstanding experience with Wadsworths Solicitors and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. My solicitor, Gemma, was absolutely brilliant throughout both the sale of my apartment and the purchase of my new home. She was incredibly quick, responsive, and always kept me updated at every stage, which made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and completely under control. Nothing was ever too much trouble—she really went the extra mile to ensure everything was handled efficiently and professionally. What stood out the most was the level of trust I had in her. I felt confident from start to finish that everything was in safe hands, and thanks to her expertise, the entire process went seamlessly. If you’re looking for a reliable, proactive, and genuinely supportive solicitor, I would highly recommend Wadsworths Solicitors—and especially Gemma!

      Kept informed

      My experience of my Victoria was good. She kept me informed & answered all questions I asked. Although I felt the correspondence was slow I believe all probate is like that as a lot of the time before replying they're waiting for a third party answer.

      When you've lost a loved one, you're grieving and not thinking as clearly as normal, but going to Wandsworth solicitors helps you SO MUCH. They are so kind, considerate, understanding, and helpful, they can't do enough for you. Yet they are also so efficient. They certainly make the whole process, far easier, much more understandable and are so quick and thorough. I can't praise them enough. Michael Wandsworth dealt with my new will and Power of Attorney and he was excellent. Thoroughly recommend them.

      We have recently visited Wadsworths to set up power of attorney for my mother in law and the same for us, together with wills. We highly recommend their service. They were professional together with a friendly approach. They made setting up, what can be very difficult legal documents, very easy. We have the reassurance that everything has been set up correctly and exactly as we wanted.

      I recently used Wadworths Solicitors to help my mum put her Will and Lasting Power of Attorney in place, and I couldn't be happier with the service we received. The team were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient throughout the process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, making what can be a complex and sensitive subject much easier to understand. My mum felt completely at ease and was treated with kindness, respect, and genuine care at every stage. The whole process was handled efficiently and smoothly, and we felt confident that everything was completed correctly and in my mum's best interests. I would highly recommend Wadworths Solicitors to anyone looking for assistance with Wills, Powers of Attorney, or estate planning. Excellent service from start to finish.
