I'm glad we went with Wolferstans. Any queries we had were answered quickly and clearly, and the guidance through the whole process was much appreciated as first time buyers. Would definitely recommend.

Special thanks to Carol and Sophie, and for the card we received in the post.

Smooth, Stress-Free Sale – Highly Recommend!

5

I recently used Wolferstans (Plymouth) for the sale of my property, and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Sophie Farrant and Carol Foster. From our first interaction to final settlement, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly efficient.

They kept me informed at every stage of the process, explained everything clearly, and handled all the paperwork with care and precision. What could have been a stressful time was made easy thanks to their calm approach and excellent communication.

I was especially impressed with how quickly they responded to queries—both from me and the buyer’s side—and how smoothly they managed all the legal aspects of the sale. Everything was done on time, with no hidden surprises.

I highly recommend Wolferstans, Sophie and Carol, to anyone selling their home. They made the entire experience straightforward and worry-free. Thank you for your fantastic service!

This is the sixth property I’ve bought and sold. The service I received from Carol and Sophie at Wolferstans was exceptional. It was protracted - due to the archaic nature of leasehold - but Carol was always responsive, always across the detail, always on the front foot. Impressive stuff. I’ve recommended her to friends and family.

Flat Purchase

Excellent service from the very beginning to the dramatic end which resulted in completion on 31 March 2025 - just in time before the Stamp Duty increased !! Carol and Sophie have completed a fantastic job to get everything sorted, explained and transacted over the last few months.

Thoroughly recommend and would certainly use again.
Good use of the Wolferstans App which certainly sped up a number of elements where paperwork / signatures are required.

Finally, sincere Thanks to both Carol and Sophie for their splendid service and keeping me fully updated during the entire process.

House Sale of the Century ! 😉

Our two Solicitors from Wolferstans Plymstock Plymouth ( Carol and Sophie) acting for the sale of our property ( we had not moved for the past 23 years !) were extremely informative , worked in our best interests on more than one occasion in the face of adversity !
They gave constant updates via an app and were also always readily available at the end of a telephone line giving that added personal touch .

We used Wolferstans in a property purchase that fell through in the end owing to issues purely on the seller’s side. Carol was absolutely amazing and did everything she could to find a way through the situation and regularly kept us updated.

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carol or the group!

Thanks!

Wolferstans handled the sale of my former house in Millbrook and the purchase of my house in Exeter. They were pretty efficient especially in dealing with the agent for the vendors in Exeter, whose was extremely difficult to deal with.
