Jackie Murfett is a super woman, gets the job done efficiently and effectively. I found her to be very reassuring, even when I went into melt down about the questionnaire. The staff made you feel very welcome as you entered the office in Ely and getting everything done locally just made everything so much easier. I highly recommend Jackie and her staff and would definitely use their services again.
A representative from Ward Gethin Archer Limited responded to this review on 25 June, 2025:
Dear Anne, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted Jackie and the team made you feel supported and welcomed throughout the process. Your recommendation means a lot to us! Best regards, Ward Gethin Archer

I haven't had great experience with Conveyancing in the past, and so I was greatly impressed with my experience with WGA. Responses were prompt and I was confident that all my queries would be answered within 24 hours - so much that when the purchase of one property fell through, I decided to stay with Jackie to complete on the property I ended up buying.
A representative from Ward Gethin Archer Limited responded to this review on 24 June, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words and for placing your trust in us, especially after previous challenges. We're so pleased to hear Jackie made a positive impression and that you felt supported throughout. We're delighted to have helped you complete your purchase successfully. Best regards, Ward Gethin Archer

Used Ely so we could go into office to sign papers.
Jackie provided a good service but the whole conveyancing process needs sorting as ours took 19 weeks with only a small chain. There needs to be more communication between Estate agent/ solicitor/ client to enable the process to be quicker.
A representative from Ward Gethin Archer Limited responded to this review on 16 June, 2025:
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad Jackie was able to provide good service when you came into the office. We truly appreciate your thoughts on the conveyancing process and agree that better communication between all parties is essential to speed things up. Your comments help us identify areas to improve, and we’ll work on making the process smoother and more efficient for future clients.

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.
