Steve Waters
Associate Solicitor
I come from Cornwall but ventured as far as Essex and Germany to gain an LLB in English and European Laws before coming back to the South West via the College of Law in Guildford.
I initially qualified as a solicitor in 2000 and have recently returned to law after a career break. I have commercial and residential property experience but now deal exclusively with all types of residential matters. I like to take a practical approach to matters and to work collaboratively with Estate Agents and Mortgage Brokers to get the best results for my clients.
When not working I am usually to be found spending time with my family, on the wrong end of a cricket bat or golf club or writing the odd quiz. I am the Vice Chairman of Chelston and Kingskerswell Cricket Club, and have recently attained a cricket coaching qualification so that I can give something back to the game I love.
I am also the chair of the PTA at my daughter’s school

Conveyance service
Steve Waters dealt with the sale of our property. He was responsive, helpful, efficient, and very knowledgeable. He managed the whole process with a friendly and common sense approach.
We would definitely use him and Wollens again.

Legals for transfer of equity
Steve Waters was recommended to me by a friend just when I thought all hope was lost.
I cannot begin to tell you how reassured Steve made me with the whole very stressful remortgage of my home to enable me to buy out my ex partner.
I would definitely recommended Steve and his calm manner, with anything to do with mortgages etc.
He is now also helping me with a lease extension too.
He's very precise and makes everything run smoothly.
All the staff i met on visits to the Wollens office in Torquay, are all very polite and approachable.
Keep on doing what you do Steve, you're brilliant!

Great Experience
I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Despite having to deal with a challenging chain, Steve's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. He guided us through every step of the process and his communication was clear and timely, making everything a little less stressful. I'm not sure we'd have secured the property we wanted without Steve's involvement so I'd highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable conveyancer.

First Class Service
What should have been a straightforward property sale became very involved due to difficulties with the purchaser and her solicitors.
Without Steve's knowledge and expertise I doubt this would have been resolved.
He is very approachable, obviously has an excellent understanding of the intricacies of leasehold law, responds promptly to any queries and I consider his charges to be very fair.
My experience with other firms in the past had left me feeling very dubious. Steve has restord my faith. I would not hesitate to use Wollens in the future.

Great Service
Wollens were recommended to us by a friend. We were not disappointed. Steve Waters looked after us as we went through our house purchase. He was friendly, easy to communicate with, professional, very efficient and knowledgeable and really gave us a first class service. Also a mention for Mark Iddles who assisted Steve in looking after us. Wollens were also very competitive on pricing and we would use Steve and Wollens again.
