Our house move

From start to finish our experience of Wollens was excellent. We were kept informed during the entirety of the process which gave us the confidence we needed. Everyone was kind, considerate, friendly and professional. We cannot recommend them too highly.

I dealt with 2 Legal Execs. , who were really helpful, especially Liz. Had face-to-face contact with them. The reception staff were brilliant too, at a time of great stress for me, they were calm and empathetic.

the divorce process

5

I think this process was made as painless as possible. No to say there was no pain but at all times I felt informed and that my thoughts and feelings counted in what is a brutal process.

Great service!

5

Andrew, Liz and the team made our house move easy, as stress-free as possible and were proactive in keeping the chain moving forward. Communication was relevant and timely. No query or question was a silly question, everything explained clearly and every care taken. We feel we were given the best service at very reasonable costs. A huge thank you from us, we will be back (but not until we move again!!).

House sale and onward purchase.

Professional from start to finish. Andrew was very reassuring and made a complex sale and purchase smooth and efficient. He was always quick to respond to any queries, and his secretary
was responsive and consistent I would highly recommend.

Selling of Property

5

From start to finish Woollens, Liz and Andrew, helped us every step of the way. Thoroughly professional and very quick turn around with the sale, could no have asked for a better service. I am sure at times with my many silly questions their eyebrows were raised but they always answered courteously. I can honestly say that I have sold a few properties in the past but Woollens do offer a competitive service that is very hard to beat. Will definitely use again.
Many thanks

I cannot praise Wollens Barnstaple branch highly enough for excellent, professional service when selling and purchasing property. I would happily recommend them and intend using them again for further legal matters. Thank you so much Andrew Wood and Chloe Parker for making it all such a smooth and stress free process.
