Bridget is Best

Bridget Maier has recently, and successfully,
delivered the probate of our deceased cousin’s Will (to five family beneficiaries! )after a protracted journey through various Government agencies. Bridget also completed all the necessary required tax deductions; no mean feat, as several different tax offices were also involved which are not known for their alacrity! I can therefore only highly recommend Bridget in any areas concerning Wills and Probate, and all handled with her unstinting patience and friendly goodwill. Thank you so much, Bridget.

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.

Faultless

This review is for a different branch.

Nicole was absolutely faultless.
From the moment of instruction to completion, her and the team were incredible. They worked tirelessly to get things across the line within a very tight timeframe, they were quick to respond to any questions or queries or amendments needed during the process and they were proactive with their approach. They did not take their foot off the gas at any stage, and were relentless in ensuring everything was dealt with in a timely manner and handled appropriately.
They were not only professional and effective, but they were kind, empathic and genuinely understanding throughout the entire process.
I would highly recommend them and RWKGoodman in general.
Thank you Nicole, Caroline and the wider team, it really was a pleasure to instruct you, and have you with me throughout this process.

We were very happy with the service from RWK, in particular Jo and Teodora. They (somehow) managed to complete our house purchase in 3 weeks, from start to finish. Excellent communication throughout, clear with charges etc. They said they would try and get the sale completed before the end of this month and they did. Very happy and would highly recommend...

It was a pleasure to deal with the staff at RWK Goodman in the sale of my flat in Oxford and they were excellent at dealing with myself and also the estate agents. Emails were always dealt with promptly and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
