Excellent Conveyancer

We highly recommend Morgan should you need a conveyancing solicitor. We instructed Watkins Solicitors approximately 7 weeks ago for the sale of our house and the purchase of our next property. Thanks to Morgan, we will be completing in two days time. This is a testament to Morgan’s efficiency and professionalism.

Morgan responded to all emails within in the same day, or the next morning at the very latest. We were kept fully updated throughout this process and could not have asked for a better experience.

Morgan was very helpful and friendly throughout. We are incredibly grateful to Morgan for her excellent work ethic and expertise in what has undoubtedly been a very busy time for all conveyancers!

Brilliant service

Morgan is a brilliant solicitor. I have been dealing with morgan from the very beginning. I’m a first time buyer with alot of questions going along the process and Morgan has always responded within the hour or day.

This has given me great confidence that Morgan was looking out for me during the whole process.

I cant recommend Morgan or Watkins Solicitors more. Been brilliant its very rare i give 5/5 or 10/10 but this whole process has been faultless.

Thanks Morgs

Recommended conveyancing solicitor (Buying and Selling)

I would highly recommend Morgan for any conveyancing needs. Despite a complicated chain with many issues, she handled everything professionally and kept me fully informed at every stage. Morgan was always on top of things, providing timely updates, chasing other solicitors when needed. I felt completely at ease. Our exchange went smoothly thanks to her diligence and clear communication. I would absolutely request Morgan again for any future conveyancing work.

Watkins have been instrumental in helping us appeal our daughter’s EHCP and getting the fundamental and necessary changes approved. Emma Grimbly has been an excellent communicator throughout, giving clear and concise advice and keeping us well informed.
We are grateful to her and her team for their professionalism and expertise and for pushing for the best outcome.

About this branch

Description

We also aim to make our services affordable. We are transparent on costs, with no hidden extras. At our first meeting we will go through the payment terms that are most suited to your means. Additionally, we often promote special offers. Legal aid has now largely disappeared but we remain one of the few firms in the Bristol area able to offer public funding from the Legal Aid Authority. Legal aid may now mainly be restricted to cases involving either child care cases or domestic violence but during our initial meeting with you we will be able to tell you whether you will be eligible for legal aid. We are proud to have won the Bristol Law Society Legal Aid Firm of the Year for 2013/2014.
