Resident Management Company support for large scale building contract
Eighteen months ago the RMC approached Woferstans for advice ,before it entered into a building contract, estimated at £3.5 million. From the outset Wolferstans gave superb service to a group of Directors who were far out of their comfort zone. They were totally professional and combined this with being friendly and approachable. They had empathy for the situation that the Directors found themselves in. This was demonstrated several times simply by sending updates, when needed, using, as much as possible, clear non-legalese language. Additionally, on the occasions when Directors needed to speak to Gareth White or Josh Chaun, they alway made themselves available as soon as they were able. They always returned calls and answered e-mails.
In summary, we were delighted with the service we received and would not hesitate in approaching them again, should there be a need.

Sale of Blaster Master Ltd
From start to finish Josh, Luke and Jasmine were communicative, extremely professional and incredibly supportive. I would regularly be in contact with Luke to have something explained or clarified and he always did that with good grace, understanding AND patience! It never felt like a chore. The team made what could have been stressful and anxious process, straight forward, friendly and it truly felt like they were part of our team and 'in our corner'.
We have clicked every box below beacuse we are delighted with every facet of their work!
Thank you.

Professional with excellent customer care & communication
We sold our large family run business through Joshua Chauhan and his team at Wolferstans. From our very first meeting through to completion their dedicated and professional approach gave us the confidence we had made the right choice. During the entire transaction we were kept updated and informed and nothing was missed. Joshua's attention to detail and dedication, along with his teams hard work made the whole process much easier than we anticipated. Personally I don't think there is a better corporate team in the south west that we could have chosen.

One Agonising Property Purchase
My most recent purchase (and the only one to date may I add) was nothing but a mass of trials and tribulations. Fortunately, to have had the absolute pleasure to work alongside Josh, the properties successfully completed 15 months later. I haven't ever experienced such a diverse array of complications during a purchase but fortunately, Josh kept a very firm hold on all legal aspects at all times, his work ethic is impeccable for his clients yet at the same time, he kept me calm and grounded through nerve racking experiences.
His sheer degree of experience and knowledge was undeniably the glue that held this horrible transaction together. I wouldn't be without his assistance and I could not recommend a firm more. The service is first class, it is professional at all times, the communication is timely and the added empathy with difficult situations always went such a long way. Josh and the team at Wolferstans are worth their weight in gold and I wouldn't wish to work with anywhere else with anyone else..so, thank you for your constant support and protection in property purchases, it's people like yourself that make property developers feel a whole lot safer when large risks are taken.
