Fabulous and Friendly Service

Rosie helped us all the way through the process of purchasing our house and provided us all the information we needed. She was super helpful and always kept in contact and touched in with us on how things were going. Nothing was too much bother for her. We really appreciated all her help and can’t thank her enough.

Gemma was really good

Gemma gave weekly updates, she communicated everything as soon as she received the information. She was friendly and understanding that I did not know the house-purchase process. Would recommend her!

Great experience

Our house purchase was a long one! The whole time I was kept updated by Rebecca even when she probably couldn’t update me with much! She responded quickly to every single email I sent and was extremely helpful at all times. I got lots of comments on how good she was from estate agents and my sellers so I think that speaks volumes. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Rebecca for all of your help. It’s really appreciated.

Sale of Hallsteads and purchased of Newgarth

These transactions took far longer than I anticipated and became increasingky complicated primarily due to the failures of the solictors acting on behalf of my purchasers.
Despite this Gemma acted sensibly and did all she could to expediate the process.
Her communication and knowledge of the process were, in the main, good.

Outstanding Conveyancing Service – Smooth & Stress-Free!

We recently used Wragg Mark Bell for our home sale and purchase, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Laura. From start to finish, she was professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable.

Communication was excellent throughout the process, she kept us updated at every stage and promptly answered any questions we had. Laura handled all the legal aspects smoothly, ensuring everything was completed on time with minimal stress.

We highly recommend Wragg Mark Bell to anyone looking for a reliable and thorough conveyancing solicitor. Thank you for making our selling and buying experience seamless!

Was a great experience. So professional and very thorough. Nothing got past them and they asked questions of the other party I would not have thought of. No problem with communication and the day of moving went very well.

I felt their service is very professional. They updated my on the whole process very well from the beginning. This helped me to seek clarity on the entire timeline from the beginning to the end. They also responded very elboratively for my quires which made me understood the ineventible delays like awaiting property search results as a first time buyer. Raising concerns with seller solicitors to seek clarity on the searches gave me confidence on their legal work & professionalism. At the end,they accommodated our request to complete the process with in a strict timeline by expediting the paper work from their end. As a whole, I was very much satisfied with their work and will surely use their services once again if needed.

Codie and Tom have supported us through our sale and purchase - they have been nothing short of amazing and we genuinely feel if it wasn’t for them being so informative and proactive we would never of got to completion with our sale! Our chain was complex and they both managed this from the outset so efficiently and really kept things moving for us. Today was completion and we just want to say THANKYOU! we would highly recommend you both

I got into my house in a timely fashion, but had *I* been less organised, I doubt it would have been the case. I found my conveyancer quite detached from proceedings, difficult to communicate with and at times errors were made over silly little things (misreading paperwork, misspelling of my name) that caused me a huge amount of stress unnecessarily. I can only imagine that the conveyancer must have too high of a case load for this to happen. Otherwise, it does not seem that they were qualified for the task. Despite knowledge of my completion date over 2 weeks before, exchange wasn't attempted until 2 days before and was delayed to the point that it had to happen on completion day, and I was told the day before that completion may not occur. This was 2 days before my eviction date at my previous property. I found Laura, the solicitor, communicative and I found Carla, the paralegal, helpful on the phone. My conveyancer would not elicit the same praise. I would be cautious in using this company.

So this company completed my work quickly no doubt on their efficiency. The customer service I recieved from my solicitor was poor. I completed all paperwork and sent it back immediately (the same day) per my solicitors request and then 3 days later I recieved an email basically telling me off for not sending back the forms so I took a screenshot of the email I had actually sent with the documents attached and all I got was "I haven't received it because there are too many attachments in the email and I need to send the attachments in a few emails" I got no apology nothing for their error, I was told to send paperwork via email but they failed to say they had a limit on how many attachments per email their server could cope with. Both me and my husband have a young family, full time jobs and work shifts so we weren't able to do all the jobs at the exact time the solicitor asked and we constantly got snotty emails back. Just not professional in my opinion and even when we asked a question it just seemed too much of an effort for her to answer and reply
