HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Nigel Brazier really helped guide me through sale and purchase of properties, something I hadn't done in over 40 years. He was always available and answered all my questions - and there were many - with patience and kindness. Also, the reception staff were excellent. I went through a bereavement just days before moving, had to go in to the offices with signed documents, they were so kind, courteous, friendly, and went to the trouble of ordering a taxi home for me. I can highly recommend the entire team.

A representative from Green Wright Chalton Annis responded to this review on 22 July, 2025:

Thank you for leaving us a five-star review and sharing your kind words and experience! We will pass on this feedback to Nigel and the team.

Boundary Law

Needed guidance on what to do and where to go after new neighbour started harassing me over the boundary. Boundaries are very complicated and although the Internet is very helpful you do need expert and local advice. Abigail gave me the guidance and advice which took a lot of weight off my shoulders and I saw light at the end of the tunnel.

I used GWCA Solicitors for conveyancing when I purchased my leasehold flat. The property included an extension which was clearly disclosed by the seller and required freeholder consent, but GWCA failed to secure this or warn me properly about the risk — even though their own correspondence showed they knew about the issue.

Years later, this oversight has cost me thousands in surveyor’s fees, a retrospective licence, and I was forced to accept a lower sale price due to missing paperwork that should have been dealt with at the time of purchase. When I complained, they destroyed their file, refused to take responsibility, and told me it was my job as the client to check the lease plan myself!

I’ve had to escalate my complaint to the Legal Ombudsman and prepare a legal claim to recover my losses. I do not feel GWCA acted with care or professional diligence, and would not recommend them for leasehold conveyancing.

A representative from Green Wright Chalton Annis responded to this review on 03 July, 2025:

We provided you with legal advice which unfortunately you failed to follow, we aim to provide a professional service to all our clients and have acted in accordance with our legal duty throughout your case and the Legal Ombudsman will support our view on this matter.
