Very pleased with these solicitors - Layla is amazing kept me up to date throughout my purchase, listened to me when I was stressing out and was always available I’m so pleased that I inherited a second home and have instructed them to sell this as well. Really easy app process that keeps me up to date and I can enter information and send back forms from my phone 📲

Apt purchase 2020

In spite of the challenges presented year I was able to complete my purchase of a Manchester City centre apartment with the knowledgeable and dedicated team at JMW.
My solicitor Layla worked tirelessly to ensure that all aspects of the purchase were completed throughly and efficiently.
I would wholeheartedly recommend JMWs services.
With grateful thanks.

Fantastic experience working with Layla on selling my property - she kept me informed every step of the way as did her assistant Jordanne - it’s been so stressful but she was always there for an update or some assurance - I’m so pleased that I will be keeping these guys and using again for my second hone I am selling this month ❤️

Layla worked on our behalf, helping us purchase a house on the south coast. From start to finish she was polite, professional and worked with our best interests at heart. She was an excellent communicator, being very clear throughout the process.

We had a failed transaction on a previous property which was dealt with by another member of the firm. This didn’t go as well but Layla more than made up for any short fallings elsewhere.

I could not recommend her highly enough and would use her for any other transaction we might need in the future.

Thank you
