First home buying experience and over 50!

When we embarked on buying our own home we could not have asked for a better team than Evie and Morgan at Watermans. Evie explained all the stages and requirements, putting us at ease when we were unsure. A seamless and speedy experience that we thank her for.

My Watermans experience

I was selling my house on the Isle of Arran.
I initially approached both Watermans and a local estate agent.
The local agent did not visit the property and produced a "desktop valuation".
Watetermans visited the property and their valuation was very close to the figure produced by the subsequent Home Report.
The process of selling a house in Scotland is somewhat different to the process in England. Darren guided me through the process of bringing the property to market and his prompt response to emails and calls was reassuring. Watermans managed the photography, including a drone shoot, virtual tour creation, copywriting and design to produce an impressive brochure.
The legal firm I used 26 years earlier had not retained paperwork from the original purchase but Rachel Stuart was forced to generate the required documentation from alternative sources.
Watermans handled the entire transaction professionally and I was kept informed throughout.

I used Watermans for my first flat purchase, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Shawn Wood was my conveyancing solicitor, and he was absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, Shawn kept to his word regarding the timeline, which was crucial for me since I was working under a strict deadline.

Shawn was not only reliable and efficient but also incredibly reassuring throughout the process. He answered all my questions with patience and clarity, making a potentially stressful experience much smoother. Thank you, Shawn, for your professionalism and support!

Watermans handled a personal injury and car loss claim following a road traffic accident.They did so superbly. They were extremely efficient and professional in their communications and excelled in negotiating a settlement which was far beyond our expectations . This work was primarily done by Johnny Richardson, whom i cannot speak highly enough of. There were some issues in the case that Johnny handled with patience and skill .He was instrumental in achieving a settlement which, as stated, exceeded our highest expectations .
This was my first experience of this firm and i can easily see why they are so highly rated and successful.
