House Sale of the Century ! 😉

5

Our two Solicitors from Wolferstans Plymstock Plymouth ( Carol and Sophie) acting for the sale of our property ( we had not moved for the past 23 years !) were extremely informative , worked in our best interests on more than one occasion in the face of adversity !
They gave constant updates via an app and were also always readily available at the end of a telephone line giving that added personal touch .

Carol and Sophie have been brilliant.
A tricky and slightly stressful sale due to multiple other factors but they were always professional and helpful, with a steadfast approach. I don’t underestimate the work they put in - overall a great service.
Wolferstans also use an app and I had direct contact with Carol and Sophie throughout the process who always replied really quickly. Such a refreshing approach and highly recommend.

Client First Approach

5

The Conveyancing Department led by Carol Foster and our main contact throughout Paralegal Sophie Farrant have been excellent. Great communication throughout, in what became a more complex property sale when our mother passed away after a short illness a week before we were due to complete on the sale. At this point we engaged with Wolferstans Probate and Wills Department as thought this would help and give confidence to our buyer and others in the chain.
Clearly great work took place behind the scenes with Estate Agent and other parties and the sale was concluded in less than 2 months from the original date with Probate having been obtained very speedily by Wolferstans. The culture within Wolferstans runs from top to bottom. From going to meetings or just to sign documents, the experience from the moment you enter reception to when you leave is excellent, friendly and highly professional. Always putting the client first and always having everything ready for the appointment.

They made our house sale and purchase of our bungalow run very smoothly and we were always kept up to date. We would certainly recommend them. Our dealings were with Carol Foster and Sophie Farrant.

We used Wolferstans in a property purchase that fell through in the end owing to issues purely on the seller’s side. Carol was absolutely amazing and did everything she could to find a way through the situation and regularly kept us updated.

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carol or the group!

Thanks!

Wolferstans handled the sale of my former house in Millbrook and the purchase of my house in Exeter. They were pretty efficient especially in dealing with the agent for the vendors in Exeter, whose was extremely difficult to deal with.
