Sude's approach was super professional, knowledgeable and pleasant at every turn despite my enthusiastic criticism on occasion...Her calm approach at all times reminded me of a recovery room nurse. For those who have been there will know what I mean..

A very professional service. Bonita, Sude and team answered all my questions in a very easy to understand manner. They advised me every step of the way as to what was needed or what was happening with the sale and purchase of property. I would definitely recommend the service.

Helpful and informative

We recently sold and purchased a property with the help of Wake Smith. Sude (our solicitors paralegal) was the voice of reason throughout and showed empathy and patience when I needed matters explaining again and again. Nothing was too much trouble and Sude’s approachable and friendly manner made a stressful time far more manageable. Thank you so much, what a credit to Wake Smith you are.

Excellent!

5

I recently had the pleasure of working with Bonita for my conveyancing needs, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free.

Bonita was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer any questions I had. She kept me informed at every stage and ensured that all legal aspects were handled efficiently and accurately.

What stood out the most was her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything was in order. Her expertise and dedication gave me peace of mind throughout the entire transaction.

I highly recommend Bonita to anyone in need of conveyancing services. Her exceptional service and client-focused approach makes her a top choice in the field.

Thanks Bonita, for making this experience so positive!
