Jackie Murfitt makes selling or buying a house painless and efficient. She apparently has quite a reputation in the industry, one of respect. We are very grateful for her service and there really is much you can improve

Recommended from an estate agent. Found the staff to be quite abrupt and not actually wanting to be of any help if we needed it. Felt like I was being laughed at for asking a question about the sum of money at the end (despite this not being my day to day job that I understand inside out) felt quite belittled, to actually find out I hadn't been sent the correct final paperwork so my question was justified. Was never kept in the loop about progress, was made to feel like an outsider in my own purchase. When I asked for updates or what things we were challenging the vendors on I was told the relevant people had been updated......I thought as the one spending +++ money I was probably important. Nobody highlighted that the EPC was 8 years out of date so now I have a property with no EPC certificate.

We have used WGA on a few occasions now when purchasing and selling property having used a few different conveyancers within the company. On our recent sale and purchase we have been lucky to have had Jackie acting on our behalf. I have found Jackie to be extremely supportive and approachable throughout the process. I would recommend Jackie and will certainly use her again in the future.
A representative from Ward Gethin Archer Limited responded to this review on 30 May, 2025:
Thank you, Nicola, for your continued trust in WGA and for your kind words about Jackie. We're glad she provided such supportive and approachable service. We look forward to assisting you again!

Antiquated, outdated and unorganized.. a simple house conveyancing matter feels like its happening despite of them not because of them.
Very little advice or work being done, they essentially just seem to pass documents back and forth. Its also extremely frustrating they they prefer to avoid modern systems everyone else is using, my last two house purchases over the last 14 years have been completed using electronic document handling,
WGA send mixed signals in one email after being pushed they say they use virtual Signature, in another they outright refused to do anything electronically. outside factors apart a process that should have taken 2-3 weeks maximum is delayed with hard copies taking weeks to pass between all parties..
I'd say its time they embraced the future but its not even that, they seem stuck in 1993 whilst everyone else has been using electronic documents for 20 years...!!!
No real level of attention and when you raise an issue there is no apology or acknowledgement, its simply ignored and they carry on regardless.
