Jackie was recommended to us by Tucker Gardner Estate Agents in Ely. There was an amount of urgency as we wanted to complete by 28/03/25 and against the odds Jackie managed to get the job done. We only had to contact her to put our minds at ease and to make sure we had provided her with the correct information, otherwise she kept us updated in this very busy time. Her efforts were much appreciated.
A representative from Ward Gethin Archer Limited responded to this review on 31 March, 2025:
Thank you, Martin, for your kind review. We’re thrilled to hear that Jackie was able to assist you and keep everything on track despite the tight timeline. Your appreciation means a lot, and we’re glad we could support you through the process.

This is the second time we've used Robin Barwell's conveyancing services within the last year, first to purchase a property and then to sell a different property. It's been such an easy process, his excellent communication and highly organised approach have made it straightforward and efficient. We will certainly use his services again for all our conveyancing needs.
A representative from Ward Gethin Archer Limited responded to this review on 31 March, 2025:
Thank you, Ian, for your fantastic review. We’re so pleased to hear that Robin's service has made your experience smooth and efficient. We look forward to assisting you with any future conveyancing needs.

Antiquated, outdated and unorganized.. a simple house conveyancing matter feels like its happening despite of them not because of them.
Very little advice or work being done, they essentially just seem to pass documents back and forth. Its also extremely frustrating they they prefer to avoid modern systems everyone else is using, my last two house purchases over the last 14 years have been completed using electronic document handling,
WGA send mixed signals in one email after being pushed they say they use virtual Signature, in another they outright refused to do anything electronically. outside factors apart a process that should have taken 2-3 weeks maximum is delayed with hard copies taking weeks to pass between all parties..
I'd say its time they embraced the future but its not even that, they seem stuck in 1993 whilst everyone else has been using electronic documents for 20 years...!!!
No real level of attention and when you raise an issue there is no apology or acknowledgement, its simply ignored and they carry on regardless.

My Partner and I have just purchased a Building Plot, Jackie Murfitt dealt with the conveyancing in the post professional way, she was so thorough with the detail and found many mistakes made by the vendor’s solicitors.
I would absolutely recommend Jackie at Ward Gethin Archer she has been brilliant ( Thank you Jackie ) .
