We began the process of purchasing our first property feeling quite anxious, but Bethany quickly put us at ease. She explained each step of the conveyancing process in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring I fully understood what to expect. She took the time to ask questions to understand my ideas, concerns, and expectations, which I greatly appreciated.
Bethany was consistently approachable, honest, and straightforward throughout. She set realistic expectations from the outset and met all of them with professionalism and efficiency.
Her knowledge, communication skills, and client-focused approach make her a true asset to the firm. Even the property agent and mortgage advisor were impressed with how quickly our solicitor progressed.
I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone seeking a dependable and supportive conveyancing solicitor.
A representative from Ward Gethin Archer Limited responded to this review on 14 April, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Christian. We're so glad to hear that Bethany was able to put you at ease and provide such clear and efficient support throughout the process. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Faultless house purchase
Myself & my fiancée have just bought our first home through Alex Lawrence at Ward Gethin Archer. Alex was brilliant from start to finish. She explained everything to us in a way that didn’t make us feel silly as we had not been though the process before. She answered all questions/ emails swiftly and ensured we completed before the deadline of stamp duty coming into effect for first time buyers. We cannot thank her enough.
A representative from Ward Gethin Archer Limited responded to this review on 11 April, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words, Mollie. We're thrilled to hear Alex made your first home purchase smooth and stress-free. Congratulations on your new home, and we appreciate your recommendation!

I recently used Alex at WGA for the sale of a residential property, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. The process was smooth and efficient from start to finish, with clear communication at every stage. Alex responded to every enquiry we made in a timely manner, made us aware from the start any dates she would be unavailable and sent out all relevant paperwork when necessary so we could proceed with a quick sale. The whole process was brilliant, thank you Alex.

Jenna went above and beyond to get my house purchase over the line to avoid breach of contract. I had miscalculated the completion date and Jenna was superb in the way she reacted and managed to save me a potentially embarrassing situation. I cannot thank her and WGA enough. if i need conveyancing again i will look no further. Thank you.

Second time of using WGA this year, this time for a property sale ( out of area). Cannot recommend Louise and her secretary, Sally, highly enough.
It was difficult at times the other side, not WGA, were not on the ball and dragging their heels.
Louise and Sally worked tirelessly, chasing and pushing this sale through.
Their professional, friendly and persistent approach is second to none and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Thank you so much for all your hard work, you both deserve a drink tonight 🍷.
