Associate Solicitor at Wollens

Steve Waters

Associate Solicitor

I come from Cornwall but ventured as far as Essex and Germany to gain an LLB in English and European Laws before coming back to the South West via the College of Law in Guildford. I initially qualified as a solicitor in 2000 and have recently returned to law after a career break. I have commercial and residential property experience but now deal exclusively with all types of residential matters. I like to take a practical approach to matters and to work collaboratively with Estate Agents and Mortgage Brokers to get the best results for my clients. When not working I am usually to be found spending time with my family, on the wrong end of a cricket bat or golf club or writing the odd quiz. I am the Vice Chairman of Chelston and Kingskerswell Cricket Club, and have recently attained a cricket coaching qualification so that I can give something back to the game I love. I am also the chair of the PTA at my daughter’s school

Steve, Nicky and Danielle all gave me a first-class, proactive and exemplary service. They were all superb at keeping in touch and offering me sensible and straightforward advice. They made the selling of my property a pleasant and stress free experience. I would highly recommend them and Wollens generally.

Outstanding Service / Superb Solicitor

Steve Waters has provided me with an outstanding first class service on a number of property transactions and I cannot recommend him more highly. Each transaction has been a painless experience for me due to Steve's excellent communication, his timely responses and his wealth of knowledge. Steve also has a great team and an excellent legal assistant, Nicky McDermott. Wollens have collectively been superb.

First class service!

5

Steve and his team has been amazing throughout the sale and purchase of my properties. In particular, the sale was complicated and drawn out but Steve and legal assistant Nicky worked tirelessly to get the sale over the final hurdle, managing to exchange and complete on the same day! He is very professional, approachable and tenacious. Very prompt with response. First class service. We would highly recommend him and his team at Wollens.

Highly recommend Steve and the team at Wollens. Steve was prompt and very thorough. Even with a property fall through, Steve was persistent to ensure the purchase of the next property got ahead.

A big thankyou to Steve and Ashley in resolving my separation and transferring the property over for me and my daughter.
Its taken its time as these things do but it was all worth it in the end. We had great communication from you and things were explained in the easiest way possible. When we did come in the receptionists were very friendly and welcoming. I am forever greatful for your kindness and patience.
Well done Wollens you have a great team.
