Wollens Barnstable office dealt with the sale of our old property and the purchase of our new home. Their service was extremely professional and all matters were dealt with in a prompt & timely manner. I would certainly employ them again.

I was made redundant on maternity leave, whilst also moving house with a baby to think of. Jon helped me incredibly quickly, he was really clear and helpful, a pleasure to work with. It was a relief to get it off my mind and off my plate so quickly. He was understanding and I wouldn’t hesitate to use again if I ever had to. Thank you.

When I went to meet Deborah for the first time she sat there and told me what was going to happen the probable out come and the cost.

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
