Never Ever use this company!

I used this company for a simple deed of release. They tried to charge additional and excessive fees throughout after winning the initial business. I documented my complaints about Angela Gregson at every stage and they never accepted any responsibility whatsoever. Our whole deal fell apart due to RWK’s handling of the situation. Now having to complain via the legal ombudsmen that significant time and cost.

Conveyancing

As with most house moves, there were plenty of hurdles to jump during ours. Throughout it all Nicole Bradders at RWK remained calm and responsive, and was always informative. She was a key part of a successful transaction. Thoroughly recommend Nicole and the wider team.

I cannot thank Jo Kent and her team enough

We were selling my elderly mother’s house. There were frustrations, delays and irritations along the way, but we felt supported and informed all the way through. Jo Kent, Ali Naman and the team did a fantastic job dealing with the other solicitor, doggedly chasing them to get the sale completed. We had a named solicitor, Jo Kent, who kept in touch even ringing late in the evening to provide support and advice.

Traditional Solicitors beat Online Conveyancing by 1,000 miles

We are experienced property purchasers having been involved in the purchase and sale of 10 properties in the last 35 years. Last time around (2019) we were persuaded to use an online property conveyancer. Their work was slow, impersonal and not much different in price to a conventional solicitor so this time we went to our local solicitor RWK Goodman LLP. WE had a named solicitor Nicole Bradders who was well backed up by Grace Carnegie and Charlotte Gilkes. It has been a pleasure to work with real people with whom we have met and been able to discuss things with over teh phone. Price wise its not a lot of different to the online conveyancers but the service is a 1000- times better. I recommend this team for their professionalism and humanity.

RWK Avoid!

We contracted RWK to review our position on a tenancy breach of contract. We were assigned a contact there to review our case at a charge of £750+VAT. This sounded reasonable to review a tenancy dispute, however it later materialised that they wanted additional funds to review further as it was more complex than initially suspected.

We were absolutely shocked by the response once we had agreed to pay this. The solicitor literally confirmed back to say there was no case from reading the initial contract, but we owed the additional sum anyway. Bizarre behaviour from a reputable solicitor. If your case isn't cut and dry, I would look elsewhere for value for money and a level of service.

Nicole Bradders did a great job when purchasing my house.

Nicole and her assistant Charlotte together managed my purchase which was far from straightforward. Highly recommend them and the firm.

Efficient, felt like production line

Our experience of purchasing a property through Royds Withy King was that they were efficient but it felt like we were on a production line. Impersonal, unfriendly and didn't like to be questioned about their process. We would choose a different firm next time. Early on they volunteered that we could exchange and complete on the same day, which we enthusiastically agreed to and worked towards performing everything necessary from our side timeously. Then as the exchange date approached our solicitor changed her mind and told us completion would only happen later, for which no adequate explanation was given. Subsequent to completion they took 6 days to pay us rent money that was due to us, which should have been paid out immediately.

The greatest experience!

I had a great experience with a few of the ladies at rwk Swindon but mostly mollie Mckelvie. She made me feel empowered, heard and believed during a tough child arrangements court case. After prior bad experience with a different firm all my concerns and anxieties were settled by Mollie when she continuously shown care and compassion and she ultimately played a huge part in making sure me and my child got the absolute best results ! Will be forever grateful to have landed in the safe hands with some of the most talented and powerful ladies !

We have just used RWK Goodman Oxford for our recent house sale/purchase and cannot recommend them highly enough. Katherine & Dominic kept us informed every step of the way, and were always available via email/phone to answer any questions we had throughout the process. They provided a professional yet very friendly service, we felt very safe in their hands!

I can't praise this Company enough and in particular Katherine Yates, who acted for me in the purchase of my flat. She was always extremely professional, clear in her instructions, had a warm demeanour and was able to remain calm and constructive when things were difficult. I was most impressed when she was able to be pro-active to ensure that the purchase went through despite considerable time constraints and legal issues. Katherine's help ensured the purchase of my flat and I am delighted with the service I received. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm and intend to use it in the future.

We are very pleased that we chose RWK Goodman to deal with our conveyancing. They were unfailingly pleasant to communicate with and very thorough and conscientious in identifying potential anomalies in the contracts drawn up by our buyer's solicitors. We really felt they wanted to ensure we were making the right purchase. They informed us of any additional costs, however small, that arose during the conveyancing process and consequently there were no unpleasant surprises when the fianl bill arrived.

Katherine has been fantastic from the very start. As a first-time buyer, I didn’t have a clue what to expect, but Katherine was there every step of the way, gently guiding me through the process. Although we faced ups and downs with other parties, she remained consistently helpful, professional, and patient throughout. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Katherine and can’t recommend her highly enough. Her expertise and calm demeanour has made this experience far easier than I could have imagined. Thank you Katherine!
