I used Watermans for my first flat purchase, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Shawn Wood was my conveyancing solicitor, and he was absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, Shawn kept to his word regarding the timeline, which was crucial for me since I was working under a strict deadline.
Shawn was not only reliable and efficient but also incredibly reassuring throughout the process. He answered all my questions with patience and clarity, making a potentially stressful experience much smoother. Thank you, Shawn, for your professionalism and support!

A Very Positive Experience at a Really Stressful Time
Although Waterman's are not my regular solicitors, I decided to ask Shawn Wood, to act on my behalf, for buying and selling my property, on the advice and guidance of the estate agent from Belvoir. It is 31 years since I last bought and sold. I made Shawn aware from the start, that I am naturally a slightly anxious person. I felt all the way through the process, that he afforded me the ability to voice my anxieties and concerns. I was dealt with kindness, understanding and patience by him. I fully appreciate how very busy he is, but felt comfortable being slightly 'needy'.
All legal documents, were broken down in 'bite size' chunks by him and sent to me by email, so I could 'digest' them in my own time and pace. I was able to re-read them at my leisure, so I fully understood the implications.

First Class - start to finish
Recently sold my flat and all went smoothly- everything was addressed “on line” and I therefore was not required to make a trip to lawyers to discuss or sign any documents.
Highly recommended.

Buy to Let Purchase
I employed Watermans to help with the conveyancing services of my first buy-to-let property purchase. Evie and Shawn provided an excellent service the whole way through the process, keeping me up to date on progress and explaining in detail wherever I had questions. I was very pleased that I had chosen Watermans to act as my solicitor and would certainly recommend them. Watermans offer a rare combination of a first class, seamless service with friendly and approachable staff.
Many thanks and I look forward to using Watermans again in the future.
Thanks,
Rory

Professional and supportive
I can highly recommend Watermans to support you through the purchasing of a property. Shawn and his team were supportive and responsive throughout, concluding my sale within 8 weeks of an offer being accepted. They are also very friendly and make the stressful process of house purchasing that bit more pleasant!

Conveyancing
Shawn sold 2 flats for us. One flat had a difficult purchaser's lawyer. He dealt with that situation incredibly well.

Excellent Service & Support!
Shawn and the team at Watermans were brilliant in supporting us through the purchase and acquisition of our new home. Shawn's approach was supportive and reassuring at all times - he kept in constant communication, providing updates throughout the purchase process. All the paperwork was completed with care and attention to detail - it made the process smooth and easy for us as buyers.
Would definitely recommend the service of Shawn and the team at Watermans for buying a house - they have great competitive rates for conveyancing!

Excellent experience
We were recommended to use Watermans and Shawn when buying our first property. Shawn made the whole process very easy; I never expected it to be so straightforward. Shawn provided an excellent service throughout the way; he was professional and at the same time, friendly and always happy to explain things. We will definitely be using Watermans and Shawn in the future. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience
Shawn was very helpful and coped well with me living in Germany. Minor technical difficulties (I don't have a computer, only a iPad.) were overcome with his help. His emails were unfailingly polite and helpful and he always responded quickly to mine. Having had an unfortunate experience with two other solicitors over the years, I was totally reassured by Shawn from the start. He also has good back-up min the firm. Despite the signed disposition taking three weeks to arrive from Germany, I received payment for my flat only two days later.
I can unreservedly recommend Shawn to anyone looking for a good solicitor.
