Dave Eastman and Asia Gurung did an excellent job in the sale of our existing property and purchase of our new property. The whole of the sale and purchase turned out to be far more complicated than anybody could have envisaged and it was only due to their hard work and perseverance that the whole thing was completed. The final matter was only completed after several weeks of work on both their parts. We sincerely thank them both.

I am very happy with the service I received from Karen Miller and support staff. From my initial interaction with Wollens I felt confident of becoming a valued client. This was reinforced by meeting Karen and through correspondence with her and her secretary.

I can't thank Wollens' Jon Dunkley enough, for the calm, kind and honest advice during my redundancy. Everything was set out plainly, with my options spelled out clearly and the potential outcomes laid out so that it was made very easy to reach a conclusion. Thank you

The efficient service provided ensured the flat was sold within a very tight time frame made somewhat complicated by the extraneous requirements made by the buyers solicitor. The timely response by both conveyancing solicitor and his assistant were very much appreciated. Both offered considerable guidance in a somewhat stressful situation.

Overall I am happy with the service I experienced using Wollens.
Chloe did a great job in responding to my communications in a timely manner and was always very polite and helpful in explaining the process and expectations on my part.
As a first-time buyer, I appreciated the clear and concise communication at all stages.
Some documents contained mistakes such as references to the wrong property or name, but it was nothing that couldn't be fixed easily :)
The only thing I can think of that would improve my experience is to have more proactive status updates from Wollens to me as the client, even if nothing has changed, just a semi-regular communication to say "It's all moving along in the right direction, waiting on ... " can go a long way to putting our minds at ease, especially for first-time buyers
Overall I am happy!
A representative from Wollens responded to this review on 11 July, 2024:
Thank you for your review Scott - we are so pleased to hear your feedback regarding the work that Chloe has helped you with. We would be pleased to assist you again in the future should you need anything further. With kind regards Wollens

I would happily recommend them and intend using them again for further legal matters. Thank you so much Andrew Wood and Chloe Parker for making it all such a smooth and stress free process.

We have just completed on our house sale and purchase thanks to Wollens. Judith and her team were brilliant the whole way through and even though it wasn't the easiest of sales we were kept us up to date, the team are friendly and helpful and someone was always available to talk to if we needed reassurance or help. Really pleased with the service and would recommend to anyone that is buying or selling a property. Thank you Judith!

Neither too big, nor too small – we’re perfectly formed. With nearly over 140 bright people, we think we’re a genuine alternative to much larger firms and with significantly more to offer than smaller, high street solicitors. Yet we never lose sight of what’s most important: to provide the best possible guidance in a no-nonsense, approachable and accessible way. Because no two clients are the same, we don’t paint by numbers. What is the secret formula for being a great lawyer? To actually listen to your client and take the time we need to get to the nub of the matter. It’s why getting to really know you is at the heart of our service philosophy. Because if we don’t try to understand you, how can we possibly give you the best, tailored advice? A diverse family united by a common goal. We’re from all walks of life, but we’re kindred spirits when it comes to our aim of being the complete opposite of a stereotypical lawyer. We always try to give you less waffle, more clarity and no grey areas in between. What’s more we’ll treat you as an equal – our relationship should be open and honest, built on trust and dialogue. Playing our part in our colourful community. When we’re not advising about law, we’re often helping or supporting local charities, good causes or community projects and events. By getting widely involved with the colourful melting pot that is our community and, hopefully, enriching the lives of others, the reward is that we’ll be enriched too. Helping our clients, gaining recognition from our peers. Doing the best for our clients will always be our driving force, but we’re also pretty proud of our haul of industry awards over the years – such as winning the top prize for Excellence in Private Client Practice at the Law Society’s Excellence Awards and Law Firm of the Year at the Devon and Somerset Law Society Legal Awards.
