House selling and buying

Both Leanne and Cara have been amazing for both selling and buying homes. Their experience and attention to detail is a godsend to clients and their ability to push the whole process forward with their efficiency. A pity this is not the case in other firms.

Lease extension

Instruction for a lease extension and seemed to be a bit slow going to start with and communication wasn’t that great as we were always dealing with a paralegal or assistant solicitor. Towards the end of the process we dealt directly with the solicitor which improved matters greatly and responses to correspondence was much quicker

Leanne always did exactly what she said she would do.

Leanne has been superb, providing clear information and excellent advice. Although our sale did not go ahead due to personal circumstances, the help and advice we received means we would definitely go back to her when we do come to move.

The Bramleys of Burleigh

As I am deaf I rely on emails and text messages for communication as I cannot hear on the phone so have found the emails very helpful. The only problem was being an Oap and not technically minded and being sent the WSP App without proper explanation what it was being used for. I had been expecting the "paperwork" being sent by post for me to fill in the questionnaire so there was nearly a fortnight's delay before being told it was all being done on the App! I had to get my son to come over to download it for me.

About this branch

Description

WSP Solicitors was established following the merger of three local firms that had been providing legal advice in Gloucestershire for more than two centuries: Winterbothams, A E Smith & Son and Penleys. Indeed, Penleys LLP was one of the oldest legal firms in the South West, having been established in Dursley by John Vizard in 1758. Family member William Vizard even acted for Queen Caroline when George IV tried to divorce her. Our heritage is important to us; one of our present solicitors is the great-grandson of Reginald Herbert Penley who retired from the firm in 1905. We still operate in the Cotswold towns of Stroud and Dursley. We also have a city office in the centre of Gloucester to allow us to support even more people across the county. Today, we pride ourselves on using our uncomplicated approach to help people from all walks of life with their personal and business legal affairs. Our ethos of making life less complicated applies to everything we do – including our fees. We’ll always be honest and upfront about our legal costs and give you a fixed estimate before we act on your behalf. We’ll provide regular fee updates and never incur additional charges without your authority. And if your transaction goes particularly smoothly (and less time is spent on it than we initially envisaged) we’ll even lower your bill. What could be simpler than that?
